This is the math i did out--

Im 5'10'',white male, almost 15, and have a 28.5 vertical jump.

Now i can grab rim and pull on it running from the three point line(obv. not jumpin from the 3 line)

I will atleast grow 2 inches by next year probably and i will increase my vertical jump by doin calf raises

I can palm the ball all ready

WILL I BE ABLE TO DUNK NEXT YEAR?
(Im askin this because i think i can but my friends think i can't. I just want to know what everyone else thinks.

Dude, my first dunk on 10 feet was when I was 15. I had been able to grab the rim but had never dunked on ten feet. And then one sunny Sunday afternoon I was able to do some dunks. Now I'm 17 and I can throw down some impressive one and two-handed dunks. Just keep working man. I also suggest that you jump on a trampoline. And just keep trying to dunk, and eventually you may throw one down.

If you don't you must have alligator arms or something. 5'10 + 28.5"= 8'2 1/2 not counting arms, plus add the 2" you expect to grow and vertical. That means your head is 20" from the rim. You should be able to throw down now, why wait another year?

I think you definatley can dude. Increase your vertical some more, and since you are only 15, you will likely grow. Also palming the ball is important so its good that you have that down. Work hard and I believe you will be dunking soon my friend.

Palming the ball is huge. You should be able to touch your wrist to the rim if you want to dunk.

You never know. Sometimes when you're playing, you get the adrenaline going and go up, and automatically jump higher.

Good luck.

Sure you can dude. Just work on the muscles in your legs and go to the gym. Its good you are goind to do calf raises. Plus you can palm the ball thats a good sign. Dont let people pull you down just believe in yourself and youll be ait.
