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.
In order to dunk a basketball, you have to first be able to jump high enough to be able to get your hand above the rim of the basket. Dunking, then, is forcing the ball down through the basket from above as opposed to shooting a basket which involves arcing the ball up and into the basket from below.
You jump
Micheal Jordan can jump up to 4 feet high.
Normally, the center would. But in the case of a jump ball, the player that was fighting for possession of the ball will jump.( what he said)
Yes Yao Ming has to jump to dunk. Only four inches though, his height is listed as 7'5" or 7'6" and his standing reach is listed as 9'8". Therefore he needs only four inches to reach the regulation height 10' basketball rim.
you jump up and throw the ball in
a standard size basketball rim is 10 feet high so it depends on how high you can jump and how long your arms are
By being able to jump high enough to stuff the ball over the rim and into the net. Requires a great vertical jump and timing and technique.
Definitely not. You can be any size, as long as you can jump high enough to dunk the ball.
Get in good shape, then jump, if you cant make it, its just genetics, if you can make the hoop, just manually throw it in, but your hand has to be touching the ball as it goes in the hoop.
it's when you jump straight up and dunk a basketball
you can dunk anything as long as you jump and hold it like a basketball

A slam dunk is a basketball shot. In order to perform one, the player has to jump and then manually put the ball through the basket, while one (or both) hands are over the rim. The slam dunk was formerly known as dunk shot.
grab a medicine ball and jump as high as you can while you push it up above your head. do it a lot everyday, and soon you will be able to dunk.
Micheal Jordan is a good example of being compared to a bird. They can be compared to bird by how they dunk and/or jump shots or even how high they jump....
a dunk is a dunk as long as you jump to the hoop and slam the basket ball in the hoop if it misses then its not
