[BasketballGuru24Participant]

Since Alot Of People here are very intellectual of the game……some of us have more knowledge due to age….but some young guys are right up top par so i was wondering how old is everyone here

Honestly im a 17 year old……i injured myself and was home alot, then i came upon this website…..now that im back to full health, i still can’t get out away from the height so…….how old is evreyone else here

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

Same as you.

[sheltwon3Participant]

I am bout to be 29 5’9″ dunked in high school but it has been a while can still grab rim two hands and hopefully i will dunk again with the help of my jump soles before i lose it all. i study the game a lot but I have not be able to do as much without cable

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

Don’t really need cable when you got internet.

[sheltwon3Participant]

I know that and I use the internet but I dont watch any full game on the internet. When i had cable i kept up with a lot of games and was more keen on players and what offense defense a team runs.

[Michael.S.Participant]

[RickyRubio9Participant]

I’m 15, a little over 5’8. I can only grab 9 foot, but I’m looking into buying Jumpsoles and going for the team next year…possibly.

[leftyballer24Participant]

[gregoden08Participant]

[JNixonParticipant]

[Knicksboy34Participant]

16..can slam on a 10 footer ( not like a nba guy though)

played last year and showboated and won MVP. I got hurt in my school’s title game, I tried to slam on like 3 dudes, fell and tore my ACL and broke 4 toes.

Now, I like to jam on this site. I love Basketball but now I got a R&B group and i think if that doesnt work, Im gonna go to Syracuse for Broadcasting.

[Michael.S.Participant]

i can dunk in my old grammer school court but not my current h.s rim but i can grab rim and im 5’9

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

25. Jumpsoles are coo, but I’d recommend Air Alert. I’ve tried them both. Air Alert is better because you’re using your own natural body weight as resistance. Air Alert makes you quicker laterally and definitely improves your bounce lol. It makes you so explosive. I did Air Alert during my senior year of highschool and during college. I’m STILL jumping high from it lol. I got my little brother on it now. He’s only on his 4th week and jumping out of the gym!

[RickyRubio9Participant]

I’m really embarrassed. All of you played on a team, dunk, or something pretty cool. I play pick-up at Parks all around Houston…that’s ’bout it.

[kaceyParticipant]

Just turned 22 yesterday. 6’0″, I can dunk it on my good days, actually threw one done yesterday. Role player on my HS team. I would still like to add to my vert as well, so throwing it down will become more common.

[Lemons4LifeParticipant]

[Michael.S.Participant]

[joelar24Participant]

Yeah our high school only has like 90 kids in it so its tiny and our tallest player last year on varsity was 6’2″ and he was terrible, I’m 6’1″ and a point guard and have started on the varsity since
Freshman year but the tallest player i’ve ever played against was 6’6″. I’m doing Air Alert 3 now but i suck at jumping and can only grab rim.

[CameronCrazieParticipant]

I’m 14 5-8 can grab 9 1/2 foot rim.I play pick up games around charlotte

[knicksfreakParticipant]

Lets all just meet somewhere and play 5 on 1 against Josh.

[xbadgerhustlerParticipant]

i’m 21 about to be 22, haven’t played organized basketball since I was like 6th grade… lol cuz i was real short for my grade ( summer bday and i’m half japanese) I play at the Rec center as much as i can though… and i try and be just like russell and darren collison, my heroes… lol as in, i try and exert most of my energy on defense, cuz i can’t shoot for shit. i think i’m decent passer though.

i can barely touch the net. ahahahahah

[aarondsonixfanParticipant]

17 can bang with ease on a regulation hoop, but i’m more of a shooter. Had a game of 42 with 11 3’s in a JV summer league playoff game. During the season i averaged 19 points and 5 boards.. nothin special. And btw, jump soles REALLY work.

[mbunner23Participant]

I’m 18 years old, played varsity basketball 3 years for my high school. My fav. player is OJ Mayo.

[Ryan.Cook2Participant]

Hopefully ill be 6’1 just like my brother when i am a senior. I resemble Stepheh Curry’s game, he is my idol. I am proud he is a Golden State Warrior!

[nateoak10Participant]

[sheltwon3Participant]

Wow all you young guys you have a chance to do something just keep practicing and pushing yourself but always keep your options open. I was going to play on the sophmore team in high school and would be a pretty good role player because i hustle and could jump out the gym but I messed up my knees and never really got back into much after that but it got me learning the game though. I kind of wish i could have added all the knowledge i have now to my younger self. i also have the better basketball dvds and they are pretty good. Jump soles have done alright with me but I have not used them as much now because i ahve not played ball in a year. I will play ball a lot more when i move closer to a gym though.

[sheltwon3Participant]

I can’t believe i am the oldest one about. I turn 29 in like 2 days lol.

[HaakaanParticipant]

I bet there are plenty of older people who just aren’t bothering to post their age.

[HaakaanParticipant]

24. I’m 6’3 with a 6’6 wingspan. I played center at my highschool which sucked having to go against some real giants. My senior year we got a 6’8″ transfer and I made the All Star team playing PF. I didn’t have chance playing any kind of high college ball but I did Walk-on as a sprinter.

[MagikKnickParticipant]

5’5 WITH 7’6 WINGSPAN, THATS BULLSHIT

How does a 14 year old kid, thats only 5’5 have a longer wingspan that guys like Cole Alrich, Taj Gibson, and Hasheem Thabeet…

His arms would be scraping the ground when he walks…

[CLYDE-frazier10Participant]

going to b 15 September going to b a sophomore
second day of tryouts i broke my arm.
wudda made varsity team if i didnt break my arm
but in junior high i avaeraged like 31 nd 11(didnt rele matter cuz every other kid sucked)
im a 5’6 pg hopping to get taller then putting up numbers next year on the team
meanwhile im playin at the parks

[dwat4444Participant]

I think im near th youngest. Im 15 and near six feet tall and ive grown 9 inches in just six months so i bet im six two by the end of the summer. Isnt that freeky how fast im growing? I was the shortest kid a year ago now im the near tallest and i love it cuz im the best ball handler and passer too so i freekin dominate. Except i have shitty knees so i cant play a full season. When i play with friends i dominate though

[HaakaanParticipant]

You’re lucky your growing so fast while still keeping your athletic ability. Most people who grow that fast can barely walk and have really bad growing pains!

[Mr.Duke 1426Participant]

I just turned 29 on July 4th.(yes that is actually my birthday) I was able to dunk the end of my 8th grade year(6-0 140) in high school I was nothng special but got a college scholarship to the best engineering school in the country(Missouri Rolla, now known as the Missouri university of science and technology) my junior season I blew out my knee just on a simple lay up. The doctor said I came down on my knee wrong. I had to have microfracture knee surgery and now I just shoot around. I currently work for my uncle as a ceramic engineer and hope to one day assume his position as co-owner of his company.

[butidonthavemoney]

I’m 18 and 6’1″ with a 6’5″ wingspan. I play basketball a lot but I can’t dunk. Never played on any real team. I’m a point guard but since I play with a bunch of short people I just dominate the post instead.

[butidonthavemoney]

Mr. Duke is the oldest and also the coolest.

[Mr.Duke 1426Participant]

Thanks man^^^.

[ricks17Participant]

21, just finished my senior year of university ball in canada. Never got drafted to the big show, haha, but had full scholarship so it worked out good. 6’4 shooting guard can dunk, averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists

[Mr.Duke 1426Participant]

I forgot to mention at my peak I was 6-3 190. You wouldve been surprised by how skinny I was. But I led rolla in scoring(16.4 ppg) which is not mch but it’s D2 come on what are you expecting?!?! I attempted to come back after my surgery but wasn’t cleared by m docter.

[NYK2010Participant]

I’m 29 1/2 wish I was 17 not that I would do the NBA thing but def. persue a different career.
I’m 5’9 and can’t dunk no Krypto Nate skills.

[da guru]

[Anton123Participant]

I’m 15, I’m 5.5, I almost touch the rim.
I’m a point guard with quite a good jump, which helps me to adjust in mid air, so I din’t really care about dunking

[ItaliantarheelParticipant]

i am 20

[TONYDABOSS77Participant]

im 14 .. 6’1 270 .. i play football .. but i love basketball too .. i can touch rim .. still cant dunk .. stats fanatic ..

[Tha King2121Participant]

im 6 foot 2. Cant dunk…no bunnys but get rim easy.

PF on my high school squad….My mid range and post
moves are nice…thats about it. Only a scorer no D.

Prized stat – – 84% from the line

[Da1potParticipant]

I’m 16 5-9 and can grab the rim even though my wingspan is the exact same as my height. I averaged 15 6 6 2 for my club team a year ago. Woud’ve started for my high school team if I didn’t fracture my femur after the second game after I had 10 assists…. I’m an excellent shooter an and underrated passer and I play good perimeter d , too. I decided to play through my injury which was about the dumbest thing I could do. My femur offset my kneecap and caused it to pop out, making me now have a messes up knee ,too. I am fine now but for those guys who love basketball and want to play through serious injury, don’t do it! Just sit it out and come back stronger.

[maravich44Participant]

47. I had to get some sleep. You can laugh at me the rest of today. My verticle now is a matchbook. I was a very good athlete in my day, but jumping was never my forte. Sorry to take your title Shelton. I think I will wind up being the oldest. I’m impressed with you younger guys and your knowledge and enthusiasm for the great game of BB. I thought you all were older which should be taken as a compliment!

[gatorheelsParticipant]

[Scott42444Participant]

I’m 6’1 and 29 years old. I broke my spine as a sophomore in high school and didn’t play my junior year. Was captain of the football team my senior year and the new basketball coach asked me to play because he liked my “leadership abilities” (and I was in 4 A.P. classes and he REALLY liked that but that really doesn’t translate too much to the court) but I just couldn’t handle all the practicing with my back. Man it hurt. We would practice at 5:00am at the school 3 days a week and 5 days a week after school. Ouch. So, I took the winter off just playing church league basketball (was on the all-star team that played against the varsity for a charity game and won MVP, ha) then played baseball and ran track (21.5 200 meter) at the same time in the spring.

After running track I could dunk 2 handed. Seriously, if you want to increase your vertical join a nationally ranked track team (my 21.5 200 meter was 6th best on the team, which if you know anything about track is pretty ridiculous) and chase fast guys all day with some crazy nutbag coach screaming at you all damn day. I mean it, your quick twitch muscles will just get ripped and you’ll be flying through the air in no time.

Now, last year I had 2 vertebrae fused and a couple of other smaller things done and I’m just starting to play again. I’m like that uncle of yours who can shoot without jumping and just put crazy spin on the ball and make it every damn time. I’m serious, I don’t know where it came from. I think it’s because my back has been injured for so damn long (got hooked on pain killers too, been taking vicodin for over a decade) I had to learn to not use my speed (4.3) and athleticism (dunk 2 hands). Or, it just happens when you get older like your forearms getting bigger and stronger. I always called it old man forearms. It’s that thing that prevents you from ever wanting to beat up your dad.

Just starting to get my athleticism back and I too want to get back up to where I can dunk again before it’s all gone like Sheltwon said. I am having a hard time letting loose though because my back is CONSTANTLY on my mind and I kinda blew off rehab a bit so it’s not as strong as it should be. Plus, with me not being allowed to take any strong pain killers I would be screwed if I stepped funny.

[JoeWolf1]

I didn’t realize were were posting dunk stats,6’2” with a 6’2” wingspan, 4th place in my college’s intramural dunk contest, that was my crowning achievement put back off the backboard, but the dude after me jumped over a ball rack, haha, can’t compete with that, but was All-state track in high jump and don’t have a 35” anymore, but at 27 can still throw it down with one hand, haha, not bad for an old guy

[Scott42444Participant]

I think I’m the oldest here. Maybe not Mr. Duke. I am 29 and I was born April 25, 1980. Anyone got me beat.

P.S. I’m 6’1 with a 9’0” wingspan and a 15-inch…

just kidding (or am I?…)

[d-grizzlyParticipant]

20. i can almost touch the rim, about 3 inches short.

[HaleParticipant]

I wonder how many of these freak athletes actually play for a good hs team. Like all the fr. and so. starters, I don’t they play on a good team. I’m 5’9 with 6’1 wingspan. I jump alright and I’m pretty fast, play pg.

[CLYDE-frazier10Participant]

lol our varsity team sucks we only have a decnt center thats bout it so im ganna b running the show next year cnt wait

[HaleParticipant]

You actually stated that you played against inferrior competition. Some of these guys seem to think they will be studs…leftyballer was right on.

[maravich44Participant]

I didn’t think I was almost 20 years older than the oldest other guys on this site. I think I’m going to take a nap!

[Stanford hoopsParticipant]

26 ..6’5 210 sg 37inch vertical.. 6’9 wingspan right handed

[j1232eParticipant]

6’1 185. Used to be able to dunk easily. I am a very sore brick mason now I am lucky to glaze the rim.

[NCKevin11Participant]

I’m 15…

I’m 5’10” and can’t dunk 🙂
I play the lockdown defender on my team.
Not much offense after I messed up my knees, though.

[D HampParticipant]

Dhamp……29 YRS OLD 5 foot 11

Dhamp…the greatest basketball mind in the world. Next to Hubie Brown anyway.
