Had to represent all the short white guys

[MonkeysL]

Played in Gus Macker 3-on-3 this weekend and ended up signing up for the slam dunk contest. i was the only guy in it under 6'0" (i'm 5'10"-5'11"). there were some MONSTERS in the contest. I made it through the second round and ended up missing the final round by 2 points. i got 5th over all out of about 14-15, i was pleased considering who i went up against.

randomly found this pic in a local newspaper tonight and yes i made the dunk. i wish they would have taken the picture at the top of my jump instead of me going up

caption was;

Since when is 5'10 short? The average height in America is 5'8-5'9". I have no sympathy for a white guy that can dunk.

 

[Juice33]

He's just a little guy!

LOL I kid, that is actually damn impressive! I am 5'10" and I used to be able to touch rim, but my knees have gone to hell in the last few years, I may only be able to touch net now, yikes! But I am a hockey player and i know my place is not on the b-ball court.

Oh ok. There is a guy that works with me and he was in the 3-on-3 around the quad cities area last year. He was also in the dunk comp. Josh Collins is his name.
