Well, not true of course. I've been playing basketball my whole life, and I've seen 15 year olds jumping from the free throw line, doing windmills and double pump reverse dunks not only 20 years ago, but 30 years ago. And all of them were white, since I live in Europe.
Do we really expect children of today to not become the fragile adults of tomorrow, when children rarely go out and play? when we were young, we were out for the better part of the day, playing, running, jumping, lifting, you name it. And the generation before us were even more physical, doing lots of work outside. And from these generations came out the super athletes that we all know and love today.
- MaconBacon 7y ago360 dunk is very different than a double pump or windmill. Spud Webb was doing a double pump 30 years ago... I think you are looking through rose colored glasses if you believe there was a glut of 14 year old European dudes with the hops for 360 dunks in 1989...
