Not likely. You've got white boy's desease ... can't jump. Plus you're short for your age ... not likely to grow much taller and you already have problems with your knees.
I'd work on your speed, dribbling, passing (assists) and 3 point shot. You're not going to take it to the hole. You've got big hands (can palm) ... that should give you an advantage in ball control.
I'm 5'10 and played bball all of the time. Could never dunk (white boy) ... could just barely touch the rim without the ball. But I was a good floor leader had speed, a good eye and could sink the 3s. Black players hated me for dropping the 3s and not bringing it to the hole ... that under the rim stuff is where they get their glory. I just love winning games.
I used to say that I'd die a happy man if I could only just dunk once in my life. It ain't ever going to happen.
Face it, you're never going to become another Spud Webb. Make the best with what you've got.

well never say never..i'm about 5'8 tops and i was able to dunk a ball during my highschool varsity days. 10 feet and all but sad to say with a volleyball..hey a dunk is a dunk right and i got it right in, not those weak @#$ stuff. it was during practice and i just tried it out and boy did i impress people. just couldn't do it in an actual game. but keep trying, better to know that you tried, eh? good luck don't let anyone tell you you can't.

Lots of training (2 hrs every day ) that included weights, running up hills and especially plyometrics took my vertical from 25 in to 37 in. I am white too.

put weights on ur ankles
then go to a gym and jump up a flight of 30 stairs
keep doing it until u can do 100 stairs
that should increase your vertical by a lot
it should help

Since you are only 15, it's possible that you are still growing. With that being said, no one can truly answer your question because only time will tell. However, if you work hard and focus on your goal, nothing is impossible. Good luck!

of course, just get some jump soles and improve ur vertical leap and speed. By the time you are 20 you'll probably be 5"7 or 8
o **** sorry, i didnt see "im not black"
nvm you'll never dunk
JK =D

Spud Webb could dunk, and very well. Try using leg weights.

Being black has nothing to do with it. Neither does age or height. As long as you put time into praticing, you can.
