I see many joke about "can they dunk" but I have a legit thought/question on that. Female athletes have progressed a lot in the last 20-30 years. I don't remember 6'5-6'7 females that were muscular and athletic back then.

So, there are guys all over basketball at 6 ft that can dunk. With the strength and conditioning gains for women, it is just a matter of time until some of the 6 ft+ women will make the dunk become part of the women's game. How long do you think that time will be?

What a riveting topic. I'm picturing a middle aged guy sitting in his office in a maroon State button up and jeans for casual Friday posting about girls dunking on his college message board. Thank you for being you.

hahahah It will never happen. Men have more strength, speed and power due to fast twitch muscles. Height also has alot to do with it. Most of the women who are 6'7"+ are post players and are usually clumsy if you havent noticed whereas a 6'7" man can play the 3 and can be as athletic and agile as a 6'0" point guard. I guess if you could take the athleticism of a 5'8" lady PG and put it in a 6'7" lady post player, she would be able to dunk. Brittany Griner was an exception, she was either a freak of nature or was on some sort of HGH.

I don’t see the dunk being a regular occurrence anytime soon (10 years). The few who can now have to be basically all alone to dunk, and it’s barely a dunk then. Will hormones and steroids ever make it possible, maybe.

Do you spend a lot of time picturing middle aged men wearing jeans? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Oooohhhhh, so this is a serious question and logical comments were expected. My apologies.

I don't care and think most reasonable people don't either. It doesn't make two ***** bit of difference since a three-sixty, windmill behind the back, through the legs jam get the same points as a 17ing layup.
