The diameter of an NBA Basketball is just under 9.5 inches. The height of an NBA rim is 10 feet off the ground. Therefore, a minimum height of 10' 91/2' would be required to slam dunk.

If you can dunk on a 9.5 ft hoop can you touch the rim on a 10 ft hoop?

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.
