the hoop is 10 feet
@Curtis Hardy are you just trolling every person who posts the actual height of the rim? It's certainly 10 feet.
@Curtis Hardy Here ya go, my guy. www.sportscasting.com/have-nba-hoops-always-been-the-same-height/
@Curtis Hardy Literally happened for a dunk contest, one time. If you would like to talk basketball history, there was one other time the rim was raised to 12'. This was in 1954 when the NBA decided to try raising the rim as an experiment to reduce the dominance of George Mikan. Never was the rim raised to 12' permanently and officially stands at 10'.
@@TheElliottPomplun its 12 feet
@@gabrielkang9260 lol keep up the good work.
It is 10 foot high exactly. Looking it up also told me that it was put that high over a hundred years ago, when the average height was 5'6".
oh wow 😲
@Curtis Hardy it's 10
Maybe they should raise it lol
@@blakefrancisboggs7526 I’ve been says by for years they need to raise it and widen the court a couple of feet.
@@frightenedsoul I think that’d be cool
You can’t block/touch ball if it is on its way down or on the rim, then its called goaltending and shooting team gets points
Unless the ball is still held by the offensive player (i.e. dunking).
Also cant block a ball after it hits backboard
Pat Reilly? The legendary NBA coach who trailblazed the “Dapper” suit look for all coaches in the league? Wow! Thanks for your input! Lol
Also helps that the average height of the NBA is 6' 6" (just over 2m).
Length is important too. Guys like Rajon Rondo who are 6"1 but have a 6"9 wingspan are almost genetically designed to excel at basketball.
(An average person's wingspan is roughly the same as their height.)
Sometimes you get the perfect storm of height, athleticism, and length, resulting in guys like Giannis and Michael Jordan.
Makes you appreciate how rare it is to have all those physical gifts on top of being lucky enough to be one of the tallest human beings on the planet.
Fun fact: if you're 7 feet tall, play basketball and go to school in America, you have a 20% chance of making it to the NBA.
It works both ways though. As players get taller, their shots get harder to block.
@Matt B epik
Height and wingspan depend on position at least in the traditional sense.
@@hulkhogan4203 really
You guys have to see the full clip of that last block by LeBron. The real wonder of it was how far back LeBron was on the court when the play started and how fast he came out of nowhere to reject it. It was in the last minutes of the last game of the NBA finals, so it was pure will and adrenaline.
Taking the ball from people who haven’t shot it is called a steal, plenty just take it from people’s hands or when they are dribbling the ball.
Also that last one was in the NBA Finals.
There's no better feeling than getting a block!!! Scoring can fuck off, blocking is where the real adrenaline is!!
you can knock it out of the hands at any time as long as you dont have any body contact, body contact more often than not gets called a foul. if you get 5 fouls you get ejected from the game, the 5th foul is like a red card.
It’s actually 6 fouls in the nba. 5 in most other comps tho.
Just to add more detail, the last block by James is number 1 because of the significance of it in the game, it was game 7 (the final game that can occur in an NBA Finals) against the Golden state Warriors that includes Stephen Curry, Klay Thomson etc. there were only a few minutes left in this game and the score was close, I think it was tied at the time and it was like that for the the last few minutes of the game. The Cavaliers are Lebron James’ home team which he played for at the time before going to the lakers. They were down 3-1 in the finals at one point, meaning they won 1 game and the warriors won three. So if the warriors won one more game they win the championship as you need 4 wins to win a playoff series in the NBA. The lebron led CAVS had to win three straight games in order to win the championship and no team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit. The CAVS managed to win two more games to tie up the series and get to game 7 where towards the end of the game lebron made this block and if it hadn’t worked the warriors could’ve gotten the points from the shot putting them up which could’ve resulted in the warriors winning the championship but lebron managed to block the shot because he’s clutch, and that combined with a three point shot from Kyrie managed to win them the championship. The first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals in NBA History. So the block holds a lot of weight and significance.
Blocks are a fairly common thing, and you'll see a few during every game.
Sometimes, the overly powerful blocks are an ego driven waste of an opportunity. The guy could clearly just tip it/grab it/catch it ie SOMETHING to just take possession of the ball, but they choose to make the highlight film by sending it 5 rows into the crowd.
You guys need to put up some MotoGP, WSBK, or Isle of Man TT stuff on here. Even British SBK racing. Show the Americans what real racing looks like. There are some Isle of Man TT videos that your butt stayed puckered the whole time you watch it.
* pauses video to search "topless darts"...... *remembers hours later to finish video...
😂
@@OfficeBlokes you guys are exactly what so many people need to brighten their day. Keep up the good work gents.
watching these blocks makes me even more awed by the greatest dunks (in traffic) ...
Wilt Chamberlain was 7foot 1 inches and had a vertical jump of 48 inches. He also ran the 440 yards in 49.0 seconds and the 880 yards in 1:58.3, put the shot 53 feet, 4 inches, and long jumped 22 feet.
The only time your not allowed to touch the ball (assuming the ball is in play) is when the ball is on its way down on a shot or if the ball is still like bouncing on/over the rim otherwise you can attempt to steal the ball whenever your heart desires to try
You should definitely react to either ankle breakers in basketball or jukes in football or both
Id love to see you guys react to some dunks of the decade
23:30 James Harden 🤣
You need to react to Manu Ginobili greatest playoff moments. He got inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. Also, check out Haley Reinhard's cover of Creep and Don't Speak by Gwen Stefani. You're going to love it.
You guys MUST watch the Malice in the Palace footage. Most notorious sports fight in US history. Absolutely nuts
Watch Michael Jordan’s Top 50. Y’all would love it
A block is sometime more satisfying than a shot.It can turns the game around.Huge momentum switch.🏀👍🏼🏀👍🏼.Please react to best NBA Dunks.Thanks.Pre season start today L.A Lakers vs L.A Cleppers.What’s up guys?Hello from Los Angeles,U.S.
You Bloke's ought to watch Shawn Kemp's top 50 dunks. He was one of the best in game dunkers of the 90's. Just a pleasure to watch. He was a Freak athlete who did things on the court that not many could do.
Please check out Spud Webb 5'7 or 5'9" guard that won a dunk contest in the '87. Guards usually start at 6 feet to 6'4, sometimes shorter than 6 foot. Everyone else 6'5 to 7 foot or more
Btw that #1 block from Bron won Cleveland their first championship
You guys should have someone on when you watch American sports that can fill in your questions or add at times when it's important. I'd love to do it but you probably want someone who's got a following lol
React to more nba stuff from the past 5 years it has changed a lot since the last 2000s and early 2010s
You need to listen to Larry Bird Trash talking stories. He and this is by players who played with and against him, was the biggest trash talker they had ever seen.
NBA rim is 10 feet. The height of players varies from 6 feet to 7 feet 4 inches. Usually the taller they are the shorter they jump. Players gotta extend their arms to make sure the ball gets over the rim & at its highest point to avoid getting blocked
Fouls in the NBA or "when you can and can't knock it out of the other guys hands" is pretty subjective. In the 80s and early 90s they'd pretty much beat the shit out of each other and the rules have tighten significantly since then. Do a reaction for ESPN's 30 for 30 about the "bad boys" Detroit Pistons.
@14:36 If I remember correctly it’s 10 feet!
React to LUKA DONCIC season highlights uploaded a few weeks ago!
you guys should check out "the broad street bullies"and lacrosse
Honestly, soccer (or normal, non-American football) is still the pinnacle of athleticism. It requires all of the same physicality, agility, and training; but it also requires farrr more endurance than basketball players even come close to. Even the most athletic, best basketball players in the world are gasping for breaths and throwing their hands over their heads after a fast paced 5 minutes or so of playing. Soccer (football) players have to do all that back and forth sprinting across a way longer distance, they get subbed out far less frequently, and there are less breaks in the game generally speaking. So those guys and girls are far superior, imo.
The really great blocks are both important/dramatic, and, direct the ball to your team to start a fast break the other way. See Bill Russell (old school--played in late 50s and 1960s) who was one of the best at it--maybe the best.
The rims are 10 feet
Still hoping for a reaction from you guys on the Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon dunk contest final from 2016
10foot but if you wanna see something crazy check out some videos of men playing ball in South Sudan. They are the tallest ethnicity in the world and they play on 12foot goals and still make it look effortless
More NBA content this is a dope video
They are able to swing at it as long as they don’t hit the persons arms
rim is 10ft
The rim is 10ft high
now every time I hear the name nate robinson I just laugh
You guys should really do Bill Burr "The Helicopter Story," it's one of his best bits ever. You'll love it!
Mason G done it mate but it was blocked. It’s on our patreon though
You guys should react to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest of 2016 & 2020.
where is the block by caruso that put lonzo on the floor
Hey guys new to the channel love the content if you're looking for more stuff to react to there's a guy called 10 second songs on youtube who's really good should check him out keep up the great work!
I made 2nd team all-state my 10th grade year. The rim is 42 feet.
Glad they had a few of lebron getting rejected instead of all his glory moments
LeBron James was blocked by Nate Robinson... Nate is 5'9". That's a little guy, but then again, Nate did win the Dunk Contest at least once... LeBron is 6'8"...
First one! Love you guys!!!
the top of the rim to the floor is 10 ft
We all knew the Lebron block had to be #1 haha
Try Slamball. Basketball on trampoline.
You guys should react to "the biggest shred collab song in the world 3 (2019)"!!!
I'm so happy that NBA is back. Christmas day ain't the same without basketball. And it's impressive that LeBron at the age of 36 still can do what he does, yes I know the US has a very liberal view on PED's. If the ball touches the backboard, even if it wasn't going in, a block attempt will called for goal tending and will result in points to the offense.
Hi!! watch the Chicago Bulls and highlights of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippin.. the best team guards.
Anyone know what part of England they’re from? I wanna take a guess but I don’t wanna look stupid. I’m American so cut me some slack lol
Please react to Michael Jordan Historic Bulls Mixtape. Best nightlight vid I’ve seen
Hoop is 10ft, you aren’t allowed to hit the hands or forearm of the guy with the ball.
Do the top dunks
Please react to Zion Williamson College highlights (college because he only played 20 games in the nba due to injury and then covid)
NBA dunks nexts
Watch Giannas “The Greek Freak” or Zion Williamson highlights.
React to " Zion Williamson"
Plz plz plz react to mome boys preferably stingray or jungle
10 feet. U coulda used Google tho. Lol
Can you do a reaction video to “arrogance” by traitors
watch nba best dunks
With the interest you guys have had with NBA highlights, you ABSOLUTELY have react to Zion Williamson 2018-2019 Duke highlights. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SHIT. College kids should NOT be able to do what he did in his One-and-Done season that was even limited via a freakish "Too strong for his damn shoe and busts it wide open tweaking his knee" injury. I'm telling you. do it..
Or reggie miller lol
A lot of these are due to the moment. Number 1 decided the NBA championship.
You guys should react to stephen curry highlights hes the best nba shooter of all time
I was about to tell them the same thing!
Um no hes not. Look Steph Curry is good, there is no denying that. Yes he can make some stupidly deep 3pt shots but he's not on his game every night and his career 3pt shooting percentage isn't as good as Steve Kerr and as such I don't care how deep you can hit it, if your shooting percentage isn't as good or better, than that man, you are not the best. Btw Kerr played 15 seasons so it's not like he just played 5 seasons or something to own that record. It would take a lot of work for Curry to get his career average up another 4% to break it considering how many 3s he's already shot. Then there is the single season 3pt shooting percentage which Steph doesn't own either. That belongs to his brother Seth, but before this season it belonged to Kyle Korver for a long time. Then there is the single game record for most 3's which yes he had for a while with 13 but he's not the only player to have hit 13... but still then, it belongs to his teammate Klay Thompson. Hell Curry doesn't even own the best career/season field goal percentage either. But since Curry is known for shooting 3's, lets take a look at most 3's made in a career. Yes, Curry is in 2nd place but, Ray Allen still owns that record and Steph still has another 300 3's to make before he's even sniffing that record. To me records and stats mean everything. Curry being able to hit super deep 3's does not make him the best shooter ever. Because stats matter to me it's the same reason I don't think Lebron has any business being in the discussion for the GOAT but that is an entirely different conversation.
@@time.worn-soul8243 dude yes he is. The difficulty of his shots combined with off the dribble threes combined with his percentage is incredible. There’s no denying he’s the best shooter of all time
@@time.worn-soul8243 everyone knows he’s the greatest shooter of all time Steve kerr never had a game where he made 10 threes while curry has 25 and career games where he did it. He’s also gonna pass ray allen for all time threes curry made the most threes in the finals and playoffs so everything doesn’t go by percentage
Am I the only one who wants a NBA video from the blokes every day?
The hoop is 10ft(3.048m) + the ball is 9.5in(24.13cm). Since the entire ball has to be above the rim in order to dunk, your looking at close to 11ft(3.3528m) minimum.
DO POSTERIZING DUNKS PLS, THOSE ARE THE BEST
You should react to “Stephen Curry amazing Top 30 Plays”! He’s the BEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME!
To me, there's nothing more satisfying when it comes to basketball than a good block
Block
@@carravaggiomikelson870 oh shit😂😂 good call, I wrote that on a tablet that autocorrects for no reason
Why have I just found out about you guys 😂. Well I’m glad I clicked the video cause you get a like and a new subscriber
Those two handed blocks have got to feel soul crushing to the shooter.
The ginger guy is 6’4. If he trained to dunk for about 2 weeks he definitely could get it
I think he said he's 6'2". To dunk he'd probably need a minimum of about a 32" vertical (or slightly less and the ability to palm the ball well), which isn't common at all, and it takes more than a couple weeks to add inches to your vert.
@@garyco766 yeah to dunk without training or anything you’d prolly have to be like 6’5+
@@garyco766 at just under 6'1" i could dunk with a 28" vertical. I can't palm the ball well, and I was only able to do it in a game once. Easy enough in practice just messing around, counting steps and uncontested. Can't do it anymore lol. I bet 32" vertical would give you the wiggle room to do it in game situations pretty consistently though if it thats what you were saying.
@@fatwhiteguy795 I don't know man, I'm almost 6'3, had a 30" vertical in high school and had a really tough time dunking because I couldn't hold onto the ball well enough. At my height I have an 8' reach almost exactly so 30" got me just 6" above the rim, probably more like 8" with a longer run-up. A basketball is 9.5" diameter, so there is no way to get your hand over the ball at that height, so you have to have it from the side and try to flick it down over the rim, which is hard to do without being able to palm it securely.
@@garyco766 its possible that my reach is a bit above average, I dont know exactly how long my arms are. I can touch an 8' ceiling flat-footed with an inch or so to spare. I could consistently get the bottom of my hand on the rim with a 28" vertical. You're 100% right though. It was a challenge to push the ball downward, thats why the timing and everything had to be perfect.
The proper trash talk after a huge block is either "Get that sh*t outta here" or "Not in my F*ckin house"!
Get that weak shit outta here*
What makes blocks even more special nowadays, you cant touch the attackers hand or arm or they will call a foul, you can only hit the ball.
Unless your first name is LeBron.
You also can't get the ball after it hits the backboard, or when it's going down.
@@Heyec Didnt know about the backboard, i did know that when its going down they call goaltending.
If the hand is on the ball it’s considered part of the ball. You can get 100% hand and no ball and it’s a clean block. And what do you mean “nowadays”? Hitting someone’s arm has always been a foul. 🤦♂️
@@_maza_2443 I mean Maza that they even look more closely to blocks then in the past, you could get away with alot in the 80ties and 90ties
I think you should react to the 2007 NBA Slam Dunk Competition... It's one of the best ones if not the best one in history.
The best blocker ever had just under 4 blocks a game then the drop off is drastic with good players around 2 a game, so yes sir getting a block is a better feeling than scoring most of the time.
To get a game winning shot is tough but there's 10 people on the floor that can do that. If you get a game winning block typically you are the only person in the area code that can/could do that.
And obviously best Steph Curry's plays of the decade :)
To preface, I did not plan on this comment being so long but I got into it and wanted to shed some light on basketball for you.
Basket is 10 ft high. Blocks are relatively rare in a game but not unusual and definitely big hype moments. A lot of people suggest steph curry highlights which is a good shout, I would say Russell Westbrook has a play style very well suited to being reacted to. Russell is a beast at about 6ft 4 can still hang with the big boys. If you were curious there are roughly 5 basketball positions, (this is in general terms but if you were to play 2K you would see these 5 positions), Point guard(PG), Shooting guard(SG), Small Forward(SF), Power Forward(PF), and Center(C). The guards tend to be the players most responsible for handling the ball and running the offense, these days guards are some of the big offensive threats and creators. Steph curry, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kyrie Irving are some of the big name guards.Point Guards tend to be, but are not always, on the 'short' end with the avg height probably like 6ft 3, while shooting guards are usually a little more defensive and taller. Small forwards are some of the most versatile players, they tend to be larger and stronger than guards and have more defensive responsibility because of this, but still very common to see a small forward be the best offensive player on a team and in the playoffs this tends to be the most impactful position. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic and Kawhi Leonard are some examples of forwards. ( I skipped power forwards and shooting guards, big examples of shooting guards-Michael Jordan, Devin Booker, James Harden(more of a point guard these days). Big examples of Power forwards-Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh). Last position is the Center, the center is normally one of if not the biggest and tallest players on the court. Having a great center is vital for your defense, they offer the most rim protection and put players off from taking it to the basket, grab rebounds off of missed shots. However they are important on offense too, setting screens for teammates, rolling hard to the basket taking defenders with them, grabbing offensive rebounds, and while most centers don't have great shooting at distance in the modern game more and more big fellas are splashing it from deep (see Brook Lopez and Kristaps Porzingis) For the strongest center in the modern game, look at my boy Steven Adams. Great Centers have dominated the NBA since its inception, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Hakeem Olajuwan, Shaq, Dwight Howard, Anthony Davis(kind of), and many more.

Every block I wanna scream, "Get that sh*t outta here!!!"
Great concept of a channel; keep it up! - Fan from America
React to NBA dunk Contest 2000-2020 or early 80s/90s-2020
Your exactly right, when you block someone it’s like your owning them. “Get that shit out of here”
Watch Lebron James best plays etc
