What?

 

[Mac]

That's redic.

He is supposed to be a world class athlete, I remember hearing talk that the US Olympic team wanted him badly on their teams but he probably makes more overseas.

If I am not mistaken, this is video from the book "Andy Roddick Beat Me with a Frying Pan: Taking the Field with Pro Athletes and Olympic Legends to Answer Sports Fans' Burning Questions". There is a chapter in there with James White, where they challenge the notion that a player could grab a quarter of the top of the backboard, an old streetball legend....
Needless to say, they couldn't find a single human who could even consitently touch even 13', let alone grab a dollar and leave change, etc....

Shawn Kemp once flicked a dime or nickel off the top of the backboard...

LMAO... yeah Kemp sure did have mad skills. One of the best "in game" dunkers.

Being white or black has nothing to do with your jumping ability.

If you are 6ft and you can't dunk, you are zero athletic ability.

 

[KingofKings23]

Im 6'1" and can dunk 10... cookies!

 

[Mac]

You better be able to..it's not very difficult.

Says you...


Ever heard the fact "white boy got no hops"

Well it's true lol

 

[Mac]

No, no it isnt. What would race have anything to do with jumping ability?

There are plenty of black guys, Asian, Mexican etc...the same height that are just as non athletic as you.

What held me back in basketball was that I wasn't that athletic, laterally I couldn't move side to side fast enough and that hurt me. At the same time, I can still dunk in between my legs, rock the cradle, windmill etc.. Im only 6'3'' with a 6'3'' wing span. I cant palm a basketball and I got like a 25'' vert.
