Do you feel that ballers who can dunk have a "status"?

Question

Like yea, I belong to the dunking club its a prestige that only the select fews can enter.

It signifies two things, I have height/ and or jumping power.

Answer 1

athleticism helps.... But look at kwame brown... he can dunk... doesnt really mean ur any good...

I am 5ft 5 so is boykins... boykins can dunk.... not a benefit there either cause post moves will never be a small mans thing...

Theres no such thing as status in basketball..

the status is made by the media...

Basketball is a sport. It requires tons of strategy at the team competitive level...

Being able to dunk defitnatly helps a lot... the alley oop is one of the most usefull plays and the pick and roll is one of the most used nba plays.... thats why u can get 2 or 3 stars and make it to the finals... just pick and roll everyone to death.

but being able to dunk doesnt make u special at all... look at steve nash. yao ming should be dunking like crazy but he doesnt.

Dunking helps... but lots of things help in basketball... none of them make u special... anyone who has them has achieved it through hard work.
