[illuminati6100]

[khoadog]

how do u jump higher without using those equipment to increase yur vertical leap.like im in 8th grade 5'6 and well if i can dunk .ever1 can giv me repect lol

[MrIamabitch]

@khoadog dunking dosent give you respect it's playing!!!

thats why the NBA today sucks compared to the era all they care about know is dunking i'm not saiying thats it's satisfing but i'm saiying to care about your competetiveness and how you play before you care about dunking.

i'm jus helping thats all i can grab the rim but jumpshot,ballhandle,layups and defence comes first Hope that helped!!!!!

[thewolfmanchu]

You see how nobody works on fundamentals anymore? They just want to dunk and be flashy.

[ukpongbball]

@thewolfmanchu I gues you just think that since people can dunk like lebron now, that means they dont have any handles jumpshot or any type of fundamentals huh?

[infernozeitgeist]

lotsa dumb niggas standing around tryin to be cool, but ain't shit.

[haoyogabby]

@infernozeitgeist you're the one trying to be cool talking shit.

[slocum61]

That Asian lad thinks he only the bomb when he was dunking. 'u know I'm not black but I can dunk, so what?' that's what he said to the camera

[haoyogabby]

[cornvillager11]

now im not a hater , this is some mad shit, im curious though, is that ring exactly 10 foot or maybe like 9 ft 7ish??

its prob 10 foot and just my eyes, as i said, im not a hater, just at some points when a short dude jumps, i pause and yeah his feet are high, but it doesn't seem like its a massive jump...

just have a look, forgive me if im wrong

[ek9typer]

i remember your asianavenue page i was a kid and i asked you a but of questions lol.

[karumi17]

bunch of haters..u just mad cus he can dunk..

[kingkhmer07]

[yaoshell]

btw, can you sill do it now at your age(33)?

[yaoshell]

only people who can't jump and jealous those can dunk like you would say some shit like that...

[danielvu91]

this guy has crazy hangtime wtf hax

[KuoLiu]

are you taiwanese and really 173cm? that's amzazing

[ballahollic44]

how much do you squat?

[CoolColJ]

I don't think he lifts weights at all :)

[ballahollic44]

of course he does. its senseless to say that he doesnt because jumping requires a lot of leg strength.

[CoolColJ]

Yeah it does, but some peole have it naturally

[ballahollic44]

yea there are some people who has it naturally but 90% of them are black because of the way they are built. not all black people are, but those who dont have it naturally just have to make up for it

[CoolColJ]

colour has nothing to do with it, there are naturally "strong" people in every race. Where I live there aren't too many black people, but there are some really explosive Polynesians, Asians and white people who can really jump, without having done any weight training.

[CoolColJ]

The highest jump I have seen in person is a stocky but ripped 5'9" white guy with short arms, who can grab the rim off a 1 step jump, and put the middle of his forearm on the rim off a running one legged jump with the ball in his hands. Not the kind of build you'd associate with a one legged jumper either :)

[ballahollic44]

didnt you read what i said "not all black people". what kind of explosiveness are you talking about? any regular bball guy or athlete can jump explosively but they dont jump 30-40inches. there are a lot of people who can jump explosively even without strength training because they play a lot but how high can they get up. i want to see a video of what you just said "really explosive".

[ballahollic44]

you know what just let him answer the question

[CoolColJ]

and he doesn't look particularly heavy either, so he won't require as much strength

[ballahollic44]

not being heavy doesnt mean he doesnt squat or lift weights. i only weigh 150 and i can squat a lot for my weight but when you look at me i look more like a skinny-medium built basketball player.

[GeneSports]

hi, i didn't do any weight training that time. however i played a lot of basketball, as well as trying to master the best jumping form for my body type. i think a person who has very strong muscle power doesn't mean high vertical jump. i would say 25% muscle strength + 25% jumping form + 25% natural body structure + 25% power of will, all adds up to help a person reach the highest vertical jump.

[GeneSports]

instead of lifting weights that time, i focused mainly on how to jump with and without the ball. i used my whole body to execute the jump with a lot of concentration to complete the dunk. i was able to do what i did in the video because i failed hundreds of times.

[CoolColJ]

what's your standing reach in barefeet?

[GeneSports]

just did a quick measurement, it's about 223cm (87.8 inches) barefeet to the tip of my mid finger

[CoolColJ]

thanks

well you have slightly longer arms than me :)

2 inches or so

[jonghsiang]

dude i'm also taiwanese and i have slightly better standing reach than u...but i can barely reach the rim

[ipwnukazu]

@GeneSports wtf 7.3 reach when your 5 8 im nearly 6 2 and i have a 7 6

[MyRetardProductions]

@GeneSports my problem is how do u jump with the ball because with out it i can hang on rim 10feet two hands with the ball ni can baerly touch it it one p.s i cant palm the ball any tips please

[GeneSports]

@MyRetardProductions that's a good question, most of the players jump higher without the ball, you can tell especially when rebounding. before i can dunk on a regular hoop i practiced a lot at lower hoop at different heights, it's a good practice for jumping with the ball. it's all about timing and how you can still apply the power in your arms to lift your body when jumping. have fun and i am sure you can do it!
