You need 33 inches just to touch the rim if your reach is 7'5 (2.26m) and the rim is 121 inches (3.08m) (at the highest part of the rim) so... not too shabby. You're about 4 inches over the rim so that's a ~37 inch jump.

Thanks for reposting my analysis but this time wrong.

121'' - 7'5'' = 33'' ???? I mean really???

3.08 - 2.26 = 82 cm = 33 inches.

3.08 - 2.26 = 82 cm = 33 inches.

I'm not too good with the metric system, but 82 cm comes out to 32.28 inches man.  I don't know if you're rounding up from .28, or you just made a math error.


121" - ((7'x12) + 5")= ...


121" - 89" = 32"


Also,

The left rim is 121 inches, the right rim (as in the photo is 120 inches)

As for my reach, it is in my signature...
7'5" (89inches)
I hope I can continue to go higher and dunk on my baby 1 yrs old b'day!!

I'm pretty sure that means it should be 120" we should be counting, not 121.

So to fix this:

120" - 89" = 31"

He needs 31 inches to touch the rim he jumped at in the photo he gave us.

If he's getting 4-5 inches above the rim with his hand that means:

35-36 inches.

If we're talking highest part of rim as our context, then it would be 36-37 lmao.

scooby how tall are you?

x2 I wanna know

Um... :ninja: ... so you're not taking into account the rim thickness? When you say "a rim is 10 feet" do you measure to the bottom of the rim or to the top of the rim?

Whatever man.

i'm pretty sure the measurement is generally from the top of the rim.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Eh, scratch what I said at the end of that post then lol.  I was just proofreading too hard.  LBSS is right, it's usually from the top of the rim.  Even with rim thickness it's still 35-36 he's getting. 

Unless the rim is around an inch thick, he still needs about 31 inches to touch the bottom of the rim.

Raptor , its not so bad to admit you're wrong , especially when you are evidently , undoubtfuly wrong.
Insisting that 121' - 7'5'' is 33'' makes you look like a stubborn and illiterate fool , which we all know you are not.
Your conversions were ALL wrong
121'' is NOT 308cm
Even if it was , 308-226 = 82 , that is 32,28'' , NOT 33''
Rim heights are rim heights , NOT rim heights minus rim thickness.
Just use the  :uhhhfacepalm: and let it go man...

I don't use periods for inches. Whenever I convert from inches to cm I round it upwards. I'm not crazy to say 32.28 inches.

I am about 5'11" with a awfully short arm and small hand/palm...unable to palm the ball :uhhhfacepalm:
With such physic, it is so hard to go up with the ball. The arm swing will just send the ball flying sky high.

It might be a good time to practice taking air ball short now, prepare for those adarq style self-pass 1-handed jam...
