I'm 5'9 and I can dunk if it's a put-back. For some reason, I never seemed to master the art of continuing to palm the ball when its over my head.

yeah when i was about that height or 5'10 i could put back, but i couldn't jump high enough with the ball. i couldn't jump high enough with the ball for forever it seemed. i can't count the times i've run up and slammed the ball into the front rim and fallen over

Yesterday this dude that works at journeys came into the branch to make a deposit for his store. We must have spent at least forty minutes talking about kicks. All the girls in the branch looked at us like wtf?! I told them that girls have their bags and guys have their kicks.
To me...there is a big difference between being a sneaker head and being a kick head. |

I define a sneaker head as somebody who just gets the newest and simple shit that comes out:
Example: All those dumbasses that stand on forty deuce for hours outside of foot action for the same jordans that everybody, their mother, lil ke ke in the stroller, and pookie and them down the block are going to have. A kick head is somebody who takes their time and gets a lot of exclusive shit. They know that what they are going to get nine times out of ten you won't see somebody in the same vicinity with it on ya know. Example: Tung knows how long I have been trying to find these Dontrelle Willis dunks. Everybody that I have seen has the red and white ones, but NOBODY and I mean NOBODY has the ones that come in the Marlins colors. I think that you are a kick head and I apologize if you were slighted in some way. |

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Feb 4 2009, 10:28 AM) @ steven, you are beating me  size 14 would suck though, i don't envy you at all. i have a hard enough time finding 13s sometimes. luckily a lot of times it depends on the shoe and i can move around between size 12/12.5 and 13, and places usually have 12 more often it seems. 6'5 are you still growing  you better be able to dunk soon...anyone 6'5 should be dunking. i could dunk when i hit 6'1 or something i think, granted i'm da  but i've seen 6'0  dudes dunking. bring out your inner I'm going to do air alert. I hope I'm done growing, it's a pain finding pants / shoes alike. Shirts can be annoying too, seeing as I'm thin and fit into a medium just fine but with shirts and jackets a lot of time they're too short. It's a hard knock life. On the bright side, I'm doing quite well when I play basketball having only started a couple months ago and not playing too terribly religiously. Soccer is so advantageous. |

lol see the thing is I don't wear DUNKS at all. Sb Dunks is way different than regular dunks you see at like Journeys or Footlocker, etc. Sb dunks are wayyy more expensive and comfortable to wear, because of the padding on it. i mostly order online for my shoes, and i usually hunt down shoes i want.
