You would need to jump 2'11" in the air to dunk. Not impossible, but not likely.
His vertical reach displacement during a jump from running 45.76 in., during a 1 hand dunk 41.70 in. and during a 2 hand dunk 40.93 in. These were his results when he was at UNC.

Vertical leap is the difference between your flat-footed standing reach and how high you can reach with the same hand while jumping off two feet, from a stand still.
Yes. It depends only on height and vertical leap of this guy. Shaq was around 350 lb if I remember good, and he could dunk easily.
42 inches was measured early in his career.
If you can dunk on a 9.5 ft hoop, it's likely that you can touch the rim on a 10 ft hoop, as the height difference is only 6 inches. The ability to dunk typically requires a vertical jump that is sufficient to reach above the rim, so if you're already able to dunk, you should be close to or able to touch the rim on a standard height hoop. However, individual jumping ability can vary, so it may depend on your specific vertical leap.
It is nearly impossible to dunk at 5 foot 3. Professionals in the NBA that are under 6'0" can barely do it. Spud Web is one of the shortest, if not the shortest, player to ever dunk, and he was 5'6". While not impossible, it is nearly impossible, and your vertical leap will need to be tremendous to do so.
Derrick Rose has a 40 inch vertical leap Derrick Rose has a 40 inch vertical leap no he has a 4 feet vertical jump
His officially recorded vertical leap is 42 inches.
Rajon Rondo is an extremely athletic guard who, although standing at only 6"1, can dunk readily. But he is not some spectacular high-flying slam-dunk champion like Nate Robinson either, who has an incredible jump. So I am guessing Rondo's vertical is somewhere between 37 and 39 inches.
35 inches
The height required to dunk can vary depending on factors such as arm length, vertical leap, and technique. Generally, a height of around 185-190 cm (6'1" - 6'3") is often cited as a good benchmark for being able to dunk for most people. However, with training and practice, individuals shorter than this can also learn to dunk.
