Dunking a basketball by age 40

All right, I'm setting a new goal for myself. Not every day— gratitude posts every day are awesome, but they are difficult to do every day. But I committed to this year, and I'm gonna make it happen through the end of the year. New goal: when I was younger, and still, I've always been able to jump really high. When I was younger, I could dunk, but it's, it's been since I was 17, 18 years old was the last time I actually dunked a ball. I don't think I could touch— I know I can't touch the rim right now. Just walked out of the basketball court here. My goal— so I'm 38 right now, my birthday is in May— my goal is to dunk by the time I'm 40. A little over a year and a half goal. It's gonna take a lot of work. So we're gonna film right now, we're gonna see how high I can jump or not jump. In order to dunk, you have to be able to touch much higher than the rim. You'll be able to get at least 6 inches above the rim, 8 inches would be better. I used to hit kind of right on my forearm. Let's see how I'm doing. I'm not very tall, I'm 5'9". Let's go see if I can jump that. Also, I'm not warmed up all right now, so this isn't probably a great time to see what my max is currently. I gotta warm up a little bit first. I'm a little bit more warmed up now.

I hate being out of shape. I hate it.

We're gonna fix it. That's 9.5 feet. Let's see if I can do it with a small ball. I got surgeries. I've had 3 surgeries on my ankles, 3 surgeries on my knees in the last 10 years. I'm 38 now, so it's been 20 years since I could do this. Actually, 3 ankles, 3 knees, and each hip surgery. No more surgeries.

Time to get back in.

I can't jump off of my left foot very well. I might have to do it down off 2 feet.

Which side I want? 3.

All right, full size. See how far off I am.

Hey, this is what I wanted to see.

I'm out of shape, but it's coming back. Dunking at 40. Regular updates coming.

That's what I wanted to see. That's what I wanted to see. Oh, that's what I wanted to see. This is what I wanted to see. Oh, come on. That's what I wanted to see. Oh, this is what I wanted to see. Oh, come on. What I wanted to see. This is what I wanted to see. This is what I wanted to see. Oh, right there, I'm going to do the shot. This is what I wanted to see.
