I think you could dunk a basketball from midcourt easily if you trained for it.
It baffles me when people think X or Y are impossible. Sure, for some things you need to work a lot. Genetics plays a huge role. Where you where born and your environment matter a lot.
But at the end of the day you can do many more things that you believe you can if you apply yourself.
- garyfirestorm 5y agoSounds like a nature vs nurture argument. I think there is a lot of literature out there on this.

- ncmncm 5y agoYou seem to be using a definition of "dunk" unfamiliar to the rest of us. Maybe you use a different word for the ball dropping through the basket without touching the rim or backboard? (A recent crossword had a word "teardrop" whose clue suggested it might be that.)
