12/19/2007 4:44:06 PM

12/19/2007 4:53:32 PM

m'eh

there's a new pretty-short-yet-able-to-throw-down-nasty-dunks-guy video every month.

i'm 5'10", AND WHITE, and can get rim, so whatever.

i mean, i'm impressed, i guess. he's a good dunker ok

thats impressive

his vertical must be ridiculous

12/19/2007 5:01:49 PM

yeah, but can he read a book?

i'm sure you can do a 2-handed 540

12/19/2007 5:15:33 PM

i mean, you're trolling but, okay i'll respond

i said i can get the rim

never said i could dunk

never said i wasn't impressed

just that i'm not really that impressed

12/19/2007 5:16:54 PM

well did you expect anything else of him? he's sitting around, able to work, but unemployed, soaking up welfare checks. he's gotta do something with all that spare time.

12/19/2007 5:18:12 PM

i didn't know spud webb played here

dang

Yeah, did he really just try to compare himself getting rim with what this guy does?

no, he really didn't

12/19/2007 5:30:10 PM

Ok, good.

12/19/2007 5:31:56 PM

T-DUB JUST DUNKED ON jwb9984 DUMB ASS

12/19/2007 5:38:14 PM

never played with the guy before

but he probably would, given the chance. not like i'd feel bad about it though. he's got hops

12/19/2007 5:43:48 PM

its one of the most impressive dunks i've ever seen, given both his height, but also the fact that most 6'6 NBA players couldnt do a full 540 degree rotation...you seemed to downplay it quite a bit

12/19/2007 6:11:03 PM

Takes a lot of agility and spacial awareness to do a 360, let alone a 540.

it also didnt seem like one of those fake "I'm gonna do a 540, but I'm gonna already be turned 180 degrees when I jump, and I'm really gonna do a 270 after that"

12/19/2007 6:14:51 PM

i would think being shorter with hops would be an advantage when doing multiple rotations

so, the fact that a 6'6" guy can't do it doesn't really mean much

12/19/2007 6:16:39 PM

What about that turkish dude? or maybe Iranian or Moroccan, whatever, he looks middle eastern.

Ah, french-algerian

^^why would height would have anything to do with rotational ability?

12/19/2007 6:24:11 PM

yeah, i mean, there's a world's greatest dunker in every city.

i'm just no longer impressed by someone dunking. call me crazy

^WAT

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 6:27 PM. Reason : .]

12/19/2007 6:25:26 PM

You have more length to rotate, takes more strength. Limbs and head are further away from your center of mass than if you were shorter.

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 6:26 PM. Reason : t]

12/19/2007 6:25:59 PM

^^dunking is one thing...nobody has ever even done a 540 in the NBA Dunk Contest...this isnt just some short guy with hops who happens to be able to dunk

^you also have more muscle for that strength, right? Only reason I was asking about why height would affect rotational ability is that it height isn't even in the equation for rotational motion or any type of x-axis motion, is it?

i've seen plenty of 7 footers do 360s

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 6:28 PM. Reason : .]

12/19/2007 6:27:54 PM

no, but more height = longer arms

plus less hangtime

12/19/2007 6:28:43 PM

hangtime has nothing to do with height...thats all weight and initial y-velocity...absolutely zero relation to height

12/19/2007 6:29:46 PM

this guy has powerful legs. that's it. assuming he and the 6'6" guy both reach the same height, who will hang longer?

comparing him to what a 6'6" guy can or can't do means nothing

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 6:34 PM. Reason : .]

12/19/2007 6:32:13 PM

It's all initial y-velocity. Gravity pulls everyone down at the same speed, regardless of weight.

Rotating is all core strength. I still say shorter guys have taller guys beat.

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 6:33 PM. Reason : ]

12/19/2007 6:32:48 PM

It's funny seeing all of you try to marginalize what this guy can do.

12/19/2007 6:34:57 PM

its just interesting you have skinnier guys who dont look to be as strong like vince carter or gerald wallace who can both get up and spin well...you have bigger guys like lebron who can do the same things even though he looks a lot stronger, head to toe, than vince or g-force...then you have somebody like hodge who can't jump...i'm just going off players i've seen and this dude in this video is fucking sick, very impressive

12/19/2007 6:35:28 PM

this guy is impressive, definately ranks up near the best
but ive seen better, its not only how you jump but how you land thats important
http://youtube.com/watch?v=e-oi4lu0qbc&feature=related

12/19/2007 6:35:53 PM

he can jump and spin around. whoopty fucking do

he's very atheletic. congratulations to him

12/19/2007 6:36:12 PM

its funny that jwb said that I was the one in this thread trolling

not the guy acting like people do 540 dunks all the time and its nothing special

12/19/2007 6:37:24 PM

so a white guy jumps.....can he dunk?

while trying to be smart you ignored the obvios
tall guy's hands stay higher longer and can complete a dunk even while going down
whereas the shorter guy only has a small window while he's at the peak high of his jump

im not trolling. i'm stating my opinion. dunks don't impress me. sorry. get over it

12/19/2007 6:40:13 PM

why dont you go try a 540 then maybe you'll have a little appreciation for its difficulty

12/19/2007 6:41:01 PM

No, I spoke correctly. If a short guy and a tall guy have the same vertical, they are going to have the same air time.

Quote :

"tall guy's hands stay higher longer"

No fucking shit! Maybe because the taller guys hands are higher to begin with?

12/19/2007 6:41:23 PM

i still think the best dunker i've ever seen is James "Flight" White

youtube that cat


^that does factor in though...if somebody 5'6 and somebody 7'6 had identical vertical jumps and they could both spin around at the same speed, the 7'6 guy would be able to spin more degrees before doing his dunk

dude, he's athletically gifted. he has the atheletic ability to jump high and spin around. it's not like he learned to play Prokofiev's piano concerto No. 2 in G minor. that would be impressive

being naturally able to jump high means exactly shit

I wasn't referring to dunking, I was talking about hangtime. For dunks, true, I'll give you that.

you're a troll. you must have no natural talents and hate on everyone who has them.

12/19/2007 6:46:49 PM

actually, no, quite the opposite.
