Name: Klemen Pirc
Birthday (Year Optional): 27.6.94
Height: 6'3" or 6'4", haven't measured myself in some time...or, to be a bit more specific, I'll use europe measures: 193-195cm around there...

Now hold on, you're about 14 years old and you're almost 200 centimetres tall?

Hmm.. They are mutants, i would say.. After Chernobil's explosion.. The whole europ have high Radiactive.. That's way so many people in Europ are growing so fast..

I was really amazed when i sow a boy, born on 02.15.1995 and he was 1.96 Man.. I didn't belived that I'll gonna play basket against this guy... I'm just 1.74..

Anyway sorry for the offtopic post

Wtf, Chernobil is miles away from here. And, I think, just a few countries have radiaton.
And not all people are growing fast. In my class, me and my schoolmate are the highest, me with the aforementioned height, and my mate whit 196cm, If I recall corectlly. Everybody else is way below 180cm.
Power to the big people!

[el badman]

Wtf, Chernobil is miles away from here.

Radiations from the explosion were measured in Western Europe, and even all the way to Eastern Canada/US...

StupidBoy, take advantage of your height and learn to play basketball very well. There are millions of dollars waiting for you. Don't be a jackass and waste the opportunity. Play and practice EVERYDAY.

Oh wait, you said your stupid. Well, that doesn't really disqualify you. NBA players don't have to be geniuses.

[Modifly]

Yes, I am 14 and Im almost 2 meters tall...The sad thing is, I still can't dunk it

What? I'm 180 CM here and I can almost dunk. If I were almost 2 metres, I would be throwing it down like crazy..

Just like Pdub said, dont waste this opportunity. Practice everyday and make good use of your gifted height.

Well, yea, I might start training it now. I was playing with the school today on this local tournament (2 games, 1 win, 1 loss), and a scout came to me after it and asked me if I'd play for the nearby club

Modifly, well yea, I can't really jump high, but I always have the speed advantage over others. Other bigmen are slow and bad with the ball, but I'm really fast (At school, we run 60m every year for some test, last year I had a time of 7.9s).

AND YES STUPIDBOY HOW CAN'T YOU NOT DUNK IF YOU ARE OVER 190CM, I CAN DUNK WITH 2 HANDS ON A 10 FOOT RIM AND I'M ABOUT 5'11"

[Joe']

FIrst, Yugos have got to be the most piece of shit cars in the world.

Second, I could dunk three years ago and I was 5-9. Height has nothing to do with the ability to dunk. Dunking requires explosiveness and good plyometric ability, not height. Big men, especially at a young age and with the exception of very few individuals, are known to lack both...

[Andrew]

Height has nothing to do with the ability to dunk. Dunking requires explosiveness and good plyometric ability

But if someone were lacking in the latter, height (and long arms) could theoretically compensate for that.

[Joe']

Not necessarily when it comes to dunking. The guy I was talking about earlier in this thread, the one who played for AJ Milano. He's been 6-8/6-9 since he was fifteen and could barely dunk (and I mean BARELY) until he developed his plyometric ability. His vertical leap went from 8-10 inches to nearly 30 in the two years he played for AJ Milano.

[Andrew]

True, it doesn't necessarily help but all other things being equal I'd say it can. I'd suggest Shaquille O'Neal can dunk easier than Darrell Armstrong, who in his prime had tremendous leaping ability.

And just to tell, I'm Mandich's brother, and here is a little truth about him

His favorite player is Kobe and he says that Kobe is the best ever, which I find Bull....
He can't dunk, he can barely touch the rim. He is a good B-ball player but a giant asshole. He plays Bruce Bowen defense and when he fouls you he always says. "What, I didn't even touch you"

[Mandich]

Sacramento-kings, Dumb ass....

[shadowgrin]

What, no brotherly love?

[Eich]

he stepped into shit
