Don't be too quick to dismiss his claim.Originally posted by <b>7M3</b>!
Boykins SAYS he can bench 350 pounds.
Boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley fights in the 154 lb class (junior middle weight) and his max is 350 on the bench. Of course, it helps that Mosley was on his high school weight lifting team and has lifted weights all his life. But little men often have better lifting technique than larger men. In fact, Mosley's old high school coach said Mosley could lift so much because his technique and form were flawless.
Kevin Garnett without a doubt. He couldn't dunk if his momma told him to.
:laugh: :laugh: Yeah I know, dumb joke.
I'm pretty sure that everyone in the league can dunk, or they could have dunked sometime in there illustriast career. (Just for reference, I probably spelled illustriast wrong.) Even Boykins. Even Dickau. Even Drew. I'm almost positive Lue can dunk.

When bogues was younger he used to be able to dunk in practice.
I'd be willing to bet that every player under the age of 30 can dunk and that those over the age of 30 who can't anymore, could when they were younger. I'm 5-8 and I haven't worked out since I was a sophomore in high school and I'm now a sophomore in college. Over the summer, I attempted to dunk and I was about three or four inches away from being able to do it. These guys are professional athletes who work out like its their job because it is their job. You could probably count the nondunkers on your two hands.
A lot of guys don't because its hard to get up and back down and it hurts and it takes a lot of energy out of you. For some guys, its just not worth it.

I don't think I ever seen Troy Hudson dunks.
I also don't seen TJ Ford dunk in the N.B.A. yet but I know he can. Cuz he did in college, anyways.

i disagree. if a guy cant jump it dont matter how much he works out, hes still only going to get a few inches more. and im talking about real dunks, not weak one handers they can pull off once in a while, trust me that 3 0r 4 inches from dunking is a big difference from a real dunk.

I was at a Orlando-Utah preseason game and after a foul was called Tyronn Lue had the ball and he dunked it one handed, with only like 1 or 2 steps. so he def. can
also Speedy Claxton has dunked in games before, nice ones too.

Nobody has mentioned Gary Payton? He's the first player that comes to mind about guys who can't dunk. And I really think he can't dunk either, and it's not that he just doesn't. I kind of remember him saying something about not being able to dunk either.
I think I remember seeing Speedy Claxton dunk last year for the Spurs.
