Impressive for a 6’1 female. I bet with a basketball technique she could dunk, but based off her current approach, she wouldn’t be able to dunk. I’m 6’0 and can easily grab the rim like that but still can’t throw down a dunk. Most girls have a 12 inch vert, so this is still super impressive.
It's impressive for a female but she's like the world champion in high jump? I honestly expected at least a palm over the rim. There are other females around her height who can dunk. She wont be able to dunk from this video, you need a palm over the rim to do so.
@@icyboy771z you need more than a palm I think. I'm literally 6'1 but didn't have big hands. I could grip the ball while not jumping...but when jumping it'd slide out. I was taking blocks off the backboard before I could dunk. I needed about half a forearm above the rim before I could throw down what I'd actually call "dunks" I could do those cheap ass scoop lay up and turn my wrist last second ...but come on... That's not a real dunk.
This just makes me realize how high I could have high jumped if my form was any good. I used to be able to touch 11’ but I could barely high jump 6’2”. This girl can barely touch 10’ but her PR in high jump is 6’7”
as you would know the mechanics behind jumping for the high jump and dunking are very different. I had a 42 inch vertical and could never get the mechanics for the flop down. she obviously has the ability to dunk if her hips clear 6'7". maybe she should try to dunk backwards as it resembles the might jump
Why all the negative comments? Yea, it looks like she could dunk it, which is impressive. Why are we holding her by men's standards? Kudos for making a video at least.
Why is everyone hating? So you dunked when you were 5'9. You can dunk at 5'9. But a lot of women can't dunk being taller than that. I'm 5'4 and I don't go hard practicing jumping,but naturally I have a 25" vertical from stretching and I need 10" more inches. Idk what your vertical jump was when you were a 5'9 teenager but it Seems easy to me!
@@W0rdszq no you need to train. especially if youre on the shorter/weaker end. I'm 5ft8 and began my dunk journey about a year ago. I lost a lotta weight and gained a lot of muscle to get where i am now. earlier, i had an 18 inch vertical. now, by training strength and technique for probably hundreds of hours, i sit at a 38 inch vertical and have gotten a few rim grazer dunks. its not much, but i feel like my progress has been fast. for most others its probably not the same. i dont feel like its fair to say you dont need to train to touch the rim as a man. it took me half a year to even touch rim
@@orangefroggo552 I'm not talking abt 5ft 8 I'm talking about 5ft11+ this girls is at least 6ft trains and still cant touch the rim its kind of disappointing and unjustifiable not being able to barley able rim whilst she's an Olympic level also i wasnt thinking about people in your scenario as an example, i was mainly thinking of myself when i wrote this statement, but seeing your comment i will change it into "Dissapointed because she can barley touch the rim".
jumped from too far and shes jumping horizontally initially which doesnt help, for basketball her jump technique is garbage. She can jump tho just needs to watch dunk videos and i bet she could smash it
For a one foot speed jumper She is actually jumping from pretty close., One foot jumpers jump horizontally as well, and speed jumpers (not power jumpers) take of from even more far out to utilize their momentum and technique.
We used to have some eight-foot rims at our local elementary school. It was surprising how much timing it still took to dunk, especially in traffic, and how dangerous it felt.
Right. My max vert was 27 - 28 (jumping off one leg with full run-up). I couldn't come close to dunking, at 6'. My max leap got me pretty much exactly as high as she was at her peak. I could barely get my fingers over the rim.
Fran is actually more impressive seeing as she is only slightly taller than 6 feet. Where as Griner and some of the other female dunkers are 6 to 8 inches taller than her and don't have to jump as high.
She can barely touch the rim without a basketball. That's as high as I could touch in my prime (I'm 6'). She's an elite athlete and I was just an average pickup ballplayer. Many guys could just MUCH higher than I could in pickup games - and several six-footers could dunk.
I'm 5'9" and I could dunk the ball when I was younger (50 yrs now). you need to have your wrist at least two inches above the rim to dunk. I was able to play with a few girls, but I noticed they were usually a lot slower and relatively weaker than me. I think testosterone is a big reason
Agreed with OP and also...jumping to dunk with the ball in your hand or hands will likely prevent you from reaching full vertical power. Jumping high with no ball is much easier. That's why for beginners. Throw the ball in the air like a bounce lob. Jump up as high as possible and catch the ball in the air and dunk it.
It’s really sad you can believe that she would be able to dunk it, she would most likely have to have 3-6 inches above the rim to dunk also she is utilizing her arm swing which can’t really do when dunking and that subtracts from vert, and lastly she clearly is tall so I’m guessing her vert is around 25 due to her standing reach being high due to her being 6’1". And yes I know I’m hating but it’s true.
No hate, she’s a high flyer for a woman but if that’s the highest she can jump she can’t dunk she would need to be atleast 6 inches over the rim and it doesn’t look like she’s quite there but still would be close.
Her best is 6'1 that's impressive but the best women in the world jump around 6'8 so they could most definitely dunk a basketball and most of these girls are just under 6 feet in height. I'd like to see how high they can touch above the rim
Impressively easy, casually mogged every woman in the WNBA, barely had to try and only had to do a little hop to reach the rim. She looks like she could have touched way higher up the backboard. Unsurprising that female highjumpers and volleyball players are actually way higher jumpers than WNBA players. The required combo of height, all round explosive athleticism, hand-eye co-ordination, strength and stamina required for basketball probably eliminates nearly all the truly gifted jumpers from playing. In the men's game you can have all those things in 1 body without a problem.
Lmao she definitely couldn’t dunk it, I bet if she had a ball in her hands she couldn’t even touch the balm on the rim. Yo need at least 8 inches of clearance to dunk a basketball, she had like half an inch
AceMcKnight she didn’t jump that far out, like two feet, she’s a high jumper so of course she’s going to use one leg, that’s the most powerful jump she can produce, some people can’t jump off two. She has shoes on, I have no idea what you’re talking about. She can not dunk whatsoever. It’s not even close
@@kelvinrobinson9435 Actually to produce your highest jump it's off of 2 feet when you are jumping correctly, that is why people don't jump off of 1 foot on any time they are trying to jump their highest in sports, you can literally watch any time people are doing vertical test in track or combines. Second, generally you aren't moving that far forward when you are trying to jump as high as you can, which is another reason why two feet would be better, it's a lot easier to go upwards rather than going much more forwards with 1 foot. And the quality of this video is bad so I thought the white outline was her socks lol, looking closer I can see the shoes. I also took a few seconds to scroll down in the comments and someone says that she has uploading a clip of her dunking on Twitter, but I'm not gonna go look for that rn.
Either the people in the comments are also female or really dumb, females and males have different muscle composition. Guys have way more fast twitch muscles hence higher vertical jump. The female record is around 35 male is around 45 so... yeah it's quite impressive. The video is wrong though she probably couldn't dunk if even is she took off closer to the rim and jumped straight instead of horizontally. She might be close with better form though.
Uhhhh I know a 5,8 woman that can dunk (long jump coach, former world champion, like a 44in max vert). She’s 6,1 and barely touches it, this is not impressive. I mean mean I’m 5,10 and I can do a 2 handed tomahawk....
The Goat bro anyone that can long jump 23ft 8 can dunk. You obviously have never done track before, but if you did you would know the people that are really good at it are higher jumpers than any nba player. I’m talking about a world class jumper. A top 10 to 20 female jumper in history.
Jimmy Colleran I did track before and Ik that high jumpers and long jumpers can jump high. Even really good sprinters got a high vertical. But she’s 5’8. Idk maybe I’m just dumb than. Because I never even seen a female with more than a 18 inch vertical and that’s being generous
The Goat she wasn’t very fast for a long jumper, but she still managed to jump 23,7. Even as a 33 year old. She could just a visible amount higher than me, and once again I’m 5,10 and can dunk with 2 hands.
Touching the rim and dunking are two very different things
i agree
it took me 2 years to go from touching rim to dunking
So is winning a gold medal in the Olympics¡🙄🥇
Yeah I could touch the rim in 7th grade, but never dunked in my life on a 10ft goal
@@Gotchaskillz I can still touch the rim at age 50, but can barely run.

To do a dunk you have 15 20 Zentimeter over the rim
No, it doesn't look like she could dunk it.
@@AAYLV yeah looks like she leaping too much to dunk you need to go upwards not forward.
But it doesn't look like she could dunk it
Sorry but I maybe have the same vertical leap then her, that realy doen't look impressiv, at least in this video.
The ball is right there. Why not just... dunk?
Yeah, right.
Small hands I guess. Mugsey had couldn't dunk cuz his hands were small but his vert is high enough.
Because she can't
I think he didn’t refer to a basketball rather than a table tennis ball
I can tell you don't know basketb. You need to get a full 8 inches over rim to dunk the ball minimum, if you cannot palm it. Goofy.
It goes to show that jumping high in the high jump (Fosbury Flop) is a skill different from jumping high to dunk.
Kind of doubt it actually. Looks like she can barely touch the rim.
John Templeton I feel like she didn’t try at all
She can fly
She dunk on every guy on this comment post or block you haha

@@Donna_g6198 people are hating on the CAPTIONS at the end which flippantly suggested “yeah she could probably dunk it.”
That was a bit disappointing. I always thought high jumpers would have a heads up over just regular basketball players.
Male high jumpers most definitely would. Stefan holms could no doubt get his head nearly to the rim if not above it.
There is a video of a 6'7 Olympic high jumper and he can easily kick a piece of foam placed on top of the rim.
Her form is shit that’s why.

That was fucking underwhelming. Every middle school in america has multiple kids who routinely jump higher than that on every dunk.
