Yes, Spud Webb was 5 feet 7 inches and played in the NBA. He was known for being able to dunk easily for someone of his size. Nate Robinsion, a 5 feet 9 inches player for the New York Knicks just won the 2009 dunk contest over 6 feet 11 inch Dwight Howard. I stand at 5 feet 8 inches and my father stands at 5 feet 7 inches and we are both able to dunk.

if you are trying to jump on a regulation hoop which is 10 ft you would have to jump 1'1", because your hand has to touch the hoop, and your wingspan is your height, so u need only half that plus your jump to touch, so if your 5'11", then half that is about 3'. but for your head to touch you would have to jump 6'1", then you take that 6'1" and subtract 3, and walla, you get 3'1" you have to jump to dunk on a regulation hoop if you're 5'11".

Yes, if you train hard enough. I have no training and I'm 5'5 yet I can touch the board. It was also proven in YouTube that a person (using the Air Alert Program) was able to dunk.

How high does a 5'10'' must jump to dunk a ball on a basketball rim?

If your 5' 10 it depends on how long your arm is. Jumping 4 feet like the other person said would allow you to hit your head on the rim. You probably need about two feet to be able to dunk the basketball. I am 5' 6 and I can almost dunk, NO JOKE! What helped me achieve this was an elite basketball program call The Vertical Leap and when following the steps right you can inproving dunking a lot. Or if you just want to know how high you can jump it's probably about 2 1/2 feet or 30 inches which is pretty good if you are dunking.
