Tallest player unable to dunk?

[Andrew]

As Ben once again pointed out, we can only speculate as to whether some players are truly unable to dunk or simply don't for one reason or another. Steve Nash may be able to dunk or might have been able to in the past, but probably not with ease (especially compared to someone like Amare or Shaq) so it's not a weapon he chooses to utilise even if it's something he could do under certain circumstances.

I'm a 6'2" white boy with average athletic ability and I can dunk quite easily. I refuse to believe anyone my height or taller who is in the NBA is unable to dunk.

i got a friend who never really plays any sports at all but he is also 6'2 maybe 6'3 and he can dunk with a straight jump. i have seen plenty of people dunk with only taking one step but to start flat footed and dunk i thought was pretty cool, so anyway i gotta agree i dont see how can you be that height and not have at least dunked once in your life.

I feel the same way. I'm 5"10 (and white, if we are also taking that into consideration) and don't consider myself wildly athletic, but even I could dunk on a good day a few seasons ago before I added some weight.

ut oh. this might turn into a "I'm 5'7" and I can dunk!" thread.

btw, I'm 5'8" and I used to be able to touch the rim when I was in shape.
