  1. Bam was 6”6 at 11 and only grew 2 more inches?

  2. biggoldgoblin

    Bam the next great liar after LeBron retires

  3. Flow_Voids

    One of the 10-15 best players ever not dunking until 19 is pretty crazy. Bam dunking at 11 is equally crazy.

  4. jasper_grunion

    All of these videos are so well edited.

    Dunking at 13.. lol.

    Here I thought touching the net was exceptional.

  6. cosgrove10

    LeBron dunked before Ant and Haliburton were born

  7. DrKepret

    Lowkey thought lebron would have dunked earlier than 14

  8. DeeboDongus

    every Hali interview he has a different voice

  9. Zealousideal_Hawk329

    Damn they really asked everyone but ant

    Wemby: “2-3 maybe? I don’t really remember I wasn’t fully conscious yet”

    Aye I’m with Bron at 14… didn’t get me far on the team though

  12. No_Power799

    I’m 6’0″ and first dunked at 19, last dunk was at 27 towards the beginning of covid. Gained 25+ lbs during covid and am now not sure if it’s age or just weight that’s holding me back.

    I’m on a current goal to lose weight and see if I can still get back to dunking at 31 going on 32, Dear Diary

    Steph was basically 30 years old compared to Bam

  14. inthehottubwithfessy

    6”6 at 11 bro the growing pains he felt must have been real

    In grade school we played a neighboring school who had a kid that was around 6’8”. We were in like 6th grade. He didn’t dunk in the game but he did it for us during halftime when we asked. He died later that year riding his bike to school. Enlarged heart.

    6’6 at 11? What was Bamonte eating 💀💀

  17. NBAFalsehoods

    I remember seeing a video of Booker doing a left handed windmill dunk from a young age, and based on the year I figured out he was 15 at the time. Insane to think that he’s essentially league average from an athelticism perspective by NBA standards.

    Bit of an in between for me. These guys are the obvious outliers and freak athletes. I was 17 when I could finally dunk with a volleyball then 18 for a full basketball. I’ve been dunking since, and the past 5 years I’ve dunked on or around my birthday just to make sure I still have it.

    This year at 32 was the first I wasn’t able to. I then turned my ankle in pickup a couple days later, so I need to get back in there and try again, but it’s wild that a Doctor J was dunking into his 60’s.

    Im 6’3” 225lbs, so I have no excuse for not being to get up there at 32. Definitely lighting a fire under my ass!

  19. *Wolverine meme looking at picture but its just me photoshopped dunking since I’ll never be able to dunk*

    Bruh imagine being all hyped ready to try out for the JV team and in walks 6’6″ Bam towering over even the grownups LOL

  21. CantDrinkWithoutFish

    I was a freshman in high school my first dunk. I was 6’1” at the time. Only 6’4” now. I wanted to start getting in better shape and told myself I’d dunk a basketball by my 42nd birthday. That’s in November and I just dunked a full size ball on a 10’ rim for the first time in like 15 years about a month ago.

    This comment section is weird. I don’t get why people are surprised pro NBA players who are like top 1% height and also vertical jump genetics can dunk as middle schoolers/early high schoolers. I also don’t get why people are comparing these numbers to themselves or people they know as if anyone of them are remotely close to being an NBA player.

    i was hoping somebody would say 33 so that i could still have some hope 🙁
