white men can't jump wrote: View PostI'm 5'9''...probably just around 5'10'' in shoes at most. I needed a running start, but I could grab the rim with my fingers, like just enough to wrap the ends of my fingers around it and hold on (though not on every try). I couldn't grab it convincingly (like wrap my palm around it), so I couldn't really dunk on a regulation net because especially with the ball in my hand I couldn't get enough of my hand over the rim (still annoyed because I'll probably never be in that good shape again, and only probably needed an inch or two more on my vertical). Those were the days....Now I'm lucky to touch the mesh

**IT's also fun in a way too though. It's fun to be the guy outrebounding someone half a foot taller than you, and his coach benching him. It's fun to be the little white guy who runs in for an offensive rebound and takes it away from bigger guys. It's fun to post someone up who's way taller than you and they have no clue how you're scoring over them.Last edited by white men can't jump; Tue Apr 8, 2014, 10:20 PM.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostYeah man, and i went to a small high school, where we were undermanned until my senior year. I had to play every position except C at least in spurts (until my last year). It was not fun giving up like 10 inches to a PF and trying to outrebound them...Lots of nights with a sore back."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

I like Chuck Hayes. Actually he used to have pretty good athleticism which helped make up for his size. Just don't like seeing him in certain matchups....

white men can't jump wrote: View PostUntil my senior year, we had 4 guys over 6 feet (in my last year at least 7 or 8 guys were 6ft or taller). Two of them were total scrubs. The other 2 started. The guy we started at PF thought of himself as a SG, and didn't fucking understand how to play his position at all...so my coach would have me play the "PF" role against zone Ds, and play post D on the other end because I was pretty strong for my size and understood how to push a guy out, which our starting "PF" did not get at all."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

NoPropsneeded wrote: View PostWell at least you had strength on your side. I'm 5'10" MAX (maybe 5'11" in shoes, and thats a big maybe) and i'm KD skinny. I weigh like 135 so you can imagine how hard it must be for me to get to the rim and box guys out. That's why i'm primarily a 3&D guy, and i'd like to say i'm a pretty good one till it gets to guarding guys much stronger or taller than me."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed
