So I was just fucking around playing some 1 on 1 with my buddy today, and did something I will probably never do again. i was at the top of the key, bounced the ball off the court up and off the backboard, i ran to the other side of him and threw it down. I couldnt believe it. Yes, the ball was still about halfway over the cylinder, so it was goaltending, but i dont give a fuck. i got a story to tell my kids!

You threw it down? You serious? Of all the times we have balled together, I have never seen you actually throw it down. If you did, that's awesome man. But you're just gonna have to do it again when you come home against me. THere is no way you're gonna dunk over my mad d

Congratulations.
Y'know, you probably could do that again, but only when you very least expect it or even thinking of doing it, and probably not for another 20 years or so.

TT man I know! My boy I met was obsessed with dunking, so we started always spending like 15 min after we played just trying to throw it down...And some of the dryland training I do with swim has helped my explosiveness...But honesty, oops like that are easier than dunking in terms of how high you have to jump (the timing is just hella harder)...But yea, my dunking just got a lot better lol...
LG I am 6'3" and a half...And honestly this dunk misrepresents me...I can't even dunk all the time...but I got lucky this time and it was ill.

Man, the hardest thing about dunking is simply just knowing how to do it...25 pounds ago I could poke OK, but even in a short rim, it didn't go down any more consistently...Most dudes that dunk man start in like...8th grade and shit, and by the time they get to HS, they dustin' kids off left and right...Even if you can touch and grab the rim, dunking isn't a given...

LG, he's really close to being consistent with getting them down. He's always up there high enough for it, but sometimes it just doesn't go down. He is one hell of a baller though. Him and I and a whole bunch of our friends were playing last night and he was just tearing it up
