Demarcus Cousins is 6'11", has a 7'5" wingspan and most importantly, has a 9'5" vertical reach. This means the dude only has to jump a little over SEVEN inches to dunk the ball. This shit is not impressive you cuck.

DeAndre Jordan has a 9'5" sertical reach. It's not impressive that he can dunk a ball.

>le physical specimen Blake Griffin
8'9" standing reach. Wow, he has to jump a bit over 15 inches to dunk a ball.
Basketball is full of the most fake, overhyped athletes on the planet.

You'll be called a salty white boy but your comments are pretty much on point.

What about the Isiah Thomas?
I admit, tall players are overrated. Usually most of them are goofy as fuck and can't dribble for shit though. That's why Point Guards dominate the game.

Obviously there are some legitimately good athletes but the NBA is just sports entertainment and not a real league. Hyping up these average talents, changing the rules to suit the favored athlete of the day, moving franchises around, the NBA Draft, emphasis on parity etc. It's not something adults with functioning brains should be invested in.

Actually you have to get the basketball over the rim so add another 6", they also don't just barely dunk the ball from a foot away they mostly take off from 5-10 feet so add another 5" to compensate for gravity. That's easily a 25" vertical minimum for NBA athletes. That's pretty impressive considering the average population can't jump over 10". Don't even get me started on the athletes who have 40" verticals. (Vince carter).

confirmed for manlet, small baller and never having played the game
uncontested dunking on a court is completly different from ingame dunking

>pulling numbers out of your ass to suit your argument
A 25" vertical leap is completely average for an athletic person. For a profession of athletes who are lauded for their leaping ability, it's pathetic.
