When is the NBA going to lower the height of the ring to cater for short people?

Have you been over there?
No, but I have been involved with Basketball since I was a teenager and it'spretty common knowledge that basketball is pretty big in said Countries. Played with and are friends with Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos who have also told me this. I was actually meant to go to Japan one time for a basketball tournament but unfortunately blew out my ACL a couple weeks prior so was unable to go.

A guy that is five feet tall is not gonna dunk a 10 foot ring.. layup at best.
im 5ft 6 and could touch the rim if i timed it well, but i couldn't get the whole ball over the edge and probably couldn't dunk it even if i could because i have some really small shitty hands that wouldn't be able to throw it down

i think its a cuban thing, i mentioned i had a cuban background on the internet then out of nowhere someone asked if i had a great vertical leap

it must be because cuba was a huge part of the slave trading market and only bred the strongest people like how they only have the best racehorses continue their line, so i got some of that because im 2% black according to reports

and also credit to my mum, she was a fast runner

So of you can't dunk and your Cuban, the rest would have no chance. Some polookas posting in this thread. Anyone under 6 foot won't be dunking anything.

well im 5'6 or maybe 5'5.5 and was overweight, so all i needed was a couple more inches or maybe to lose some weight

but then we would get into a debate if what i did was actually a dunk or a soft guidance type move into the net

Bare in mind that a game of basketball is also contested. You do t get to run from 5 metres back or have a clear path..

If your under 6 foot you can't dunk. Let's not be ridiculous
