    Help me win a bet...

    Anyone able to prove whether or not a female can dunk on a regulation hoop? Thanks in advance.

    Lisa Leslie Dunks During a WNBA Game

    I assume they use 10' rims in the WNBA....

    I think besides the hoops in elementary school, all high school, college and pro level bball is 10' high.

    There have been quite a few women who have dunked. I remember reading an article on it not too long ago, though I can't remember where I read it (ESPN maybe?), about women who dunk. One of the things they have talked about is how women are starting to dunk at younger and younger ages.
    It is not enough to merely touch the face of god; you also must open your eyes so that you may see your palm.

    Lisa Leslie of the L.A. Sparks has dunked. There are girls who can do it pretty consistantly. As far as dunking in games, everytime it happens theres a buzz in the WNBA. I think it happened twice.

    From what I read back when Leslie dunked the first time, they do it all the time during practice. But dunking is not part of the Women's game, so they usually don't try.
