FYI Pontius, I really don't care if you don't believe that I can play Basketball. I know I can and you need to realize, I never said I could jump. I am a point guard, so yeah, I dont have to jump or be tall for that matter. No, I'm not to young to remember that movie. Woody Harelson was a great B-ball player in that movie, and if you remember, he did dunk the ball at the end. You know why, determination.

you need to lighten up, and maybe go find the definition of 'joke', since I said that's what my post was. I don't know if you didn't read it or just didn't comprehend it. and if you want to call names like "retards", maybe this site is too mature for you.

You're right, I should'nt have said retard, (my bad I appoligize.) But Lets talk about mature, I do know its not telling a 15 year old that white people are'nt supposed to be able to jump, and that he should stick to chess, spelling bees and poker. Honestly, Pontius, I have seen a number of threads where you are getting smart with people. Sure, you call it a joke, but I call you a trouble maker. Like I said b4, I don't care what you think. Honestly, this will be the last post of mine on this topic. Moray knows what I think he should do, so no more reason for me to be here. Later, and good luck Moray. Hope you reach your goal by the end of the summer.

umm well first off hes 14 and 5' 8" not short by anymeans just not huge. and if i might add. my friend (known him for years) nate won the dunk contest this year and how tall is he? oh yeah! 5' 8" but he would be better off playing baseball or some other sport? uhh no

that's funny, because I'd say the same thing about everything I've ever seen you post. I think "troll" is the term.

Thats great Nate...

Ive gone back and forth with Pontius on many subjects and generally learn a thing or two, he's a smart guy who normally presents some good well thought out points.
:hilarious Snake oil eliminates water changes and increases height.

I'm 15 and can dunk, heres the catch....I'm 6'2". When I was 5'6" I could dunk, but I think it might have been cuz I would mountain bike 20miles everyday for a year

I can tell you that when you are under 6'0 your biggest problem will come from not being able to palm the ball. In high school, i could fairly easily dunk a girls ball because i could palm it. Could never dunk a mens ball because of the 4-5 extra inches i needed to 2 hand or cup it over. You really have your work cut out for you until you can palm the ball. If you can firmly palm it you only have to get about 10'10" to dunk, if not you have to get at least 11'1". You dont seen many kids who are 5'8 and certainly not 5'6 who could palm a mens basketball firm enough for a dunk.
