Oh well even if you are tall doesn't mean you can dunk. And all of guys riding her because she can't doesn't make you any better. I'm willing to bet money she would stuff you 9 out of 10 times that you went up for a shot. Besides I know a 6'8 guy that doesn't dunk during games because its not something most players focus on. Its more of a "hey check this out" kind of thing.
That's pitiful. 6'9" and you can't dunk? WTF? Her hand is clearly several inches above the rim, she just needs better technique (and a few more inches of vertical lift).
Stick to shot blocking sweetheart, anyone with the height advantage and long arms you have in the women's game should be able to do that.
reflects on just how pathetic the athleticism of women's basketball is...You have 5'7" dudes winning slam dunk contests and this 6'9" women can't dunk. What is here vertical 9"? LOL What a joke.
i watched her play yesterday in a tournament game in indianapolis. when the team left i had a spartan helmet and she started talking to me!!! shes nice
look up Brittney Griner. 6 ft 8 high school girl who dunks often, she's got ridiculously long arms and, depending on what you read wears anything from a mens size 15 to a mens size 18 sneaker. maybe someone can find out the truth on that??
Not if you're a guy. Spud Webb can dunk. He's not even 5'8". She needs to hit the gym and work on building muscle in her legs and jumping rope. Then she'll be able to do it.
Dawg, you ever see highlights from the WNBA all-star game, supposedly the best lady ballers in the world? That 6-foot-6 chick Sylvia Fowles needed two tries and a cleared out lane to get down a weak dunk and the announcer goes crazy. This athleticism isn't really a black/white thing, it's a male/female thing. That's why black and white males play together and are seperate from black and white females. I'm black, by the way.
------She is trying her best to dunk ;(why all the cruel remarks?)------I wish I could meet her in person---she is a very kind person from what I have read about her--------if I wasn't so much older than her I'd ask her out----(I am much shorter than her but I like tall women).
I too like tall(er) women. I'm 5'10", and I like women 6ft tall or more. The taller the better. Allyssa has height, talent, and she's beautiful. And she really does seem like a sweetheat. A big person in both the real and figuritive(sp?) sense.
after reading some of the comments, i can easily pick out the sob's that have never played the game or even dunked a ball. A girl has less musculair strenght that a guy, so it's harder for her to dunk. I'm 6.1 and had great leaping ability and i could dunk with the best . But it took some time to gain controle of the ball and to combine it with jumping. The girl got the hight, the hops but lacks controle.
If she adds dunking to her game she will be a beast in the WNBA, plus she is only a junior so she has 1 more year to get even better. She should easily be a 1st round draft pick next year
Yeah, even at 6'9" her hands are probably no bigger than a man's, so dunking wouldn't be easy if you can't contain a full grip on the ball. However, she can clearly get her hands above the rim.
If your 6'9 you have like a 9 foot vertical reach or more, WTF thats like a foot and a half jump while running. I try to be fair but this just makes me never wanna watch women play basketball
i'm sorry, i think alyssa is awesome. but this is sad... some bad passes, but still, n no excuses when she had the ball alone. i've heard that she's anywhere from 6'8'' - 6'10'' At that height, and with the HUGE wingspan she has, dunking she be no problem...
I do tend to agree, though it can be tough for a girl that tall since it's obviously not a normal body type and just being athletic is impressive. Still, you figure with her reach at around 2 feet, you only have to jump about a foot.
I love you Allyssa, you know I do, but I wish you could dunk...anyway, not to worry, Brittney Griner is 6'8" and dunks like a madwoman: search YouTube for "High School Girl Dunker Continues to Dominate" and see what I mean.
Do you people all forget that Ms. DeHaan was only 18 in that video? As a Freshman at MSU she broke the single season school record for blocks in only 12 games. (she was 3 when the previous record was set)She is only the 4th woman in MSU history to have 300 points and 200 rebounds in a season. BTW in the WNBA only Margo Dydek is taller, and Allyssa is heluva lot cuter. She will be a force in the future!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why do they have to make such a big, humiliating deal about her attempts to dunk? It's NOT A GAME; it doesn't count!! And those stupid American fans shouting and shrieking like a pack of wild hyenas. If this were in Europe, the fans wouldn't be hollering like retards. And Europeans wouldn't be holding a friggin' dunking contest anyway. The most important in European sport is the actual game. Stupid dunking contests are signs of our idiotic, eternal high school American culture.
