DISCLAIMER : Yes , those guys all jump and dunk insanely , they can dunk 10' in their sleep etc

But head over rim at every dunk? Looks way too easy to be ~50''

What do you guys think? :D

Yea look at that block attempt at 1:03... one step with head over the rim, that guy is pretty tall but his feet don't get that high. Looks like 9'6.

The question is, what the hell kind of gym installs a non-adjustable rim that's not 10 feet high?

We had such a rim at the court we play, it was originally 10' and it started slowly collapsing ( imagine those long horizontal bars getting just a slight bend , like 0,5 degrees , not visible but still there ). When it reached 9'8'' they replaced the whole thing.

Back to the thread , here's how a 6'4'' man looks under a 10' rim , and how legit 50''+ look like:
