I was wondering If I will ever be able to dunk a basketball.
I'm 16, white and African 5"7 120lbs. My dad is 6"2 and my mom is under 6"0. What exercises can I do to increase my chances. I can touch bottom net in my high school gym.

Well I'm 14 3/4 and I'm almost 6'3 and 150lb. I haven't really done anything. Not sure how you could increase your height, sleeping a lot might help?

You could probably grow a couple more inches, but 16 @ 5'7 is not great for dunking.

You could learn the most efficient jumping techniques, but height wise, you're out of luck.

I wouldn't get your hopes up is what I'm saying.

Anyways, if your mom at least is 6 foot, you'll probably grow to at least that height.

Being 16 years old and 5'7 isn't the greatest for dunking a basketball. I haven't got any tips on how to grow but why not learn better ways to shoot so you won't need to dunk?
