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.

How come black men can jump but white men can't?
It seems like it even though it isn't true...Nate Robinson is like around 5 ft 6 and he was the dunk chapion. Spudd Webb is 5 ft 5...and he is one of the best dunkers he can jump high for his height. but look at Blake griffin also... he does 360s and jumps over (the hood of) cars!
