Whats the name of that basketball movie?

Wed Jan 26, 2005 7:59 pm

Where a guy jumpes and swiches coints at the top of the backboard? Or something in that sence?

Thats the movie about the Goat. He was 6'1 and could grab a quarter off the top of the backboard.
I gotta say "Bollox" to that, never happened in a million years, its an urban myth. Can somebody work out what vert you would need to perform this miracle. In NBA live the other day, one of the commentator's said that Lebron can do it, thats much more believable seeing as he's above 6'7.

On a more personal note, im about 6'5 and I can grab a coat hanger off the bottom of the net, I have a 50cm vertical.

a coat hanger from the bottom of the net?
i could do that when i was 14. :?

Wed Jan 26, 2005 8:27 pm

You can dunk, right?

Wed Jan 26, 2005 8:48 pm

I read in slam that it was actually another guy who did. not the goat.

about the movie. i think the title was mentioned in the same article but i forgot what issue it was...one of those famous basketball movies that i haven't seen probably...

So you actually used to hang a coat hanger on the bottom of the net and then try and touch it, I was just joking. But if thats your game then go for it, crazy though :shock:

Right. Even when I was 15 and 5'11 I could dunk.

Nope, the movie's called "Rebound" and its the life story of the goat, i've seen it about 10 times. Click me. Im sure there have been other people who claim to have done it, like Jumpin Jackson from the globetrotters 1st team.

Back to what I was saying, its bullshit anyway. Nobody below 6'7 is touching the top of the backboard.
I used to know this guy called Kevin, he was 5'10, this guy was on springs. He could jump off two feet without any type off run up and dunk with both hands. Never ever ever ever EVER have I seen it done by anybody else. He could also get the top of the square, I mean his vertical was in the 60"s. For him to touch the top of the backboard(which he couldnt) he would have had to have a 90"+ vert. He's a hairdresser now :lol:

what i meant was in real life. rumors, as well as in that movie, that it was the goat but it was supposedly someone else.

Come one, I'm not fucked up. 50cm leap (20 inch) and 5'11'' - forget it. Then you wouldn't have touched the rim. Liar. I'm 6'1'', have a leap of 25 inch and I can't dunk.

Now that only old people would believe. 60 inch? You fuck, then he could almost overjump Mugsy Bogues completely.

:lol: :lol:

ONYX, stop being so fucking aggressive, you fucking tool! :evil:

50cm leap (20 inch) and 5'11''


Oh dear, not to bright are you. Who said I was 5'11 and had a 50cm vert? I'll break it down for you kiddo.

This...
On a more personal note, im about 6'5 and I can grab a coat hanger off the bottom of the net, I have a 50cm vertical.


...was a joke, it being the opposite of this...

Where a guy jumps and switches coins at the top of the backboard?


...if you cant see that, you have a serious problem.

Liar.

This is your reply to your own fabrication of a comment I didn't make. If you could read, which obviously you cant, you would know that I said nothing of the sort.

I'm 6'1''.

Wow, you must be the tallest retard on your block.

60 inch?

I don't know if it was 60” exactly or if he even was 5'10, Im not being specific and I don't remember the exact details. I should've realized that certain anal retentive cunts like yourself would try a discredit the most probably inaccurate stats of that sentence. I'll put it another way....for the idiots.
“He was really short, but could jump out the gym.”

You fuck.

Yes I do, as often as possible, its my favorite thing to do.

then he could almost overjump Mugsy Bogues completely.

Obviously you mean jump over. I have no idea, but if he could, it wouldn't be the 1st time that a player with hops has jumped over another player, would it.

Come one

...Come all?

I'm not fucked up

(y)

Now that only old people would believe
.
I'm 100% sure I have no clue WTF your ranting about?

You have an attitude problem, you should do something about that, you're not a very nice person.

Thu Jan 27, 2005 2:47 am

Not being a nice person isn't a bad thing per se. :oops:

If you're not nice & STUPID, now that's a different story.

It's likely, after he said on NBA Talk that Shaq doesn't dunk as hard as Amare or Swift :?

He is able to do, but he does not. That's what I wrote:

ONYX wrote:Indeed Shaq is the most powerful dunker, but he doesn't do it in these days very hard. I meant who does them hardest, not who is able to do. And I don't think Shaq does the hard dunks because he is very athletic - but because of his weight. But Amare, Stro and K-Mart are all below 240 pounds.


JºeBuddha wrote:Who said I was 5'11 and had a 50cm vert?


You said you could dunk. Then your vertical leap should be c. 28" (70cm). So how did you dunk, if it's a true story?

Well, kind of.

JºeBuddha wrote:Wow, you must be the tallest retard on your block.


I just said I'm 6'1" and have a leap of more than 20" (50cm) (well, not much), but still can't dunk.

I know, I didn't want to act rudely.

Thu Jan 27, 2005 7:02 pm

See what your weekly awards is doing Jae?

Its causing a rise in e-thugs on the forums.

oooh am i being racist? nope, because i'm making fun of white kids.

Fri Jan 28, 2005 5:12 am

Racism goes both ways...

Fri Jan 28, 2005 7:31 am

I think you're overly sensitive. Every comment made, you seem to think it's a racist comment some how or the other. :?

Sat Jan 29, 2005 6:23 am

I wasn't calling him a racist, just pointing out that just because it was a white guy being called names doesn't mean it's not racist (cracker, etc.). I don't think E-Thug, no matter how you use it, can be racist.
