they did this for years i remember. i remember steve atwater being a good dunker and just about all of the track guys. i think marion jones' big assed husband was in there one year and even he could dunk. mike powell had some awesome dunks as well.
conley was an olympic champion triple jumper. basically, one of the best athletes in the world and one of the greatest leapers. it's unfair to compare him with anyone, even the highest flying nba players.
@ojmoss yeah, you can. Most of the dunkers in nba are over 2m, Conley was only 1.86. As triple jump is not even a vertical jump event, I think is fair to compare.
Conley Sr. only 6'1 and dunking with two hands just inches inside the free throw line= SICK !!! one of the few guys i know who can dunk from the free throw line is James White but he's 6'8 and has the advantage of those long reaching arms, Conley Sr is
they did this in phoenix every year. I got marshall faulk's autograph on a basketball at one. Mike conley, Mike Powell, and Alvin Harper were allways in the finals. One year Mark Henry (Wordls strongest man, now a wrestler) brought the house down and nearly the entire hoop on a dunk.
Conley's dunks are world-class. I'm talking Jordanesque execution on the rock the cradle. A beautiful Dominque style reverse jam. And the free throw line dunk with two hands? Unbelievable. Transcendent athleticism.
That free throw line dunk with 2 hands is amazing. At 5'11???!!! People don't know how hard that is. You can really get hurt if you were to miss. I once tried this dunk inside the free throw line when I was younger, I got up pretty high but I couldn't get the ball in. Just barely grabbed the rim, and my fingers slipped due to the momentum.I fell on my back. I will never forget the pain. I was never the same after that.
That last dunk was insane. He must have ripped all the skin on his hands off hanging onto the rim after that flight lol. How tall is he does anyone know?
6'0 tall. Olympic Triple Jump Medal winner Michael Conley. It doesn't hurt to hold on to the rim like that with two hands but I dunked from the side once in high school and held on like that but the momentum made me let go and and fell right on my back and got fucked up and was hurt for 2 weeks
lol yes i know i've been dunking since grade 10. I'm saying that this is way more momentum than a normal dunk. He is taking off from 15 feet away. I rip skin off my fingers just doing it from 2 feet away, that had to hurt a bit lol.
i know i have callouses too but they get ripped off and bleed everywhere. Its how you grab the rim if your just trying to hold on then no but when you just flexing the rim after the slam i find thats when it happens.
Why do you keep saying its "MIKE POWELL" when the jersey he is wearing clearly says "CONLEY" ?!?! - MIKE CONLEY, the father of the current NBA player, MIKE CONLEY, JR..
This footage is part of the DVD "NBA Superslams". I have a copy of this DVD. The comentator mentions DEION SANDERS and MIKE CONLEY (a triple jumper!!!) in the DVD.

He did it easily. It has to be an easy dunk if you are going to hang from the rim, otherwise you will fall on your ass.
Of course if you are a world class high jumper it's definitely within reach.

I guess it just depends. I've got calloused hands from working out and I've never ripped any skin dunking on an indoor court's rim.
