Yeah, just what I was looking for. If 6'7" James White doesn't even touch it then all other ballers can just forget about it.

lmao, hate to break it to you but that shti didn't happen on a regular basket then. come on son, think about it
If Detlef Shrempf did it with ease, what do you think Dwight should be able to do, nikka should be able to hang on the top of the backboard.
Sorry but this bullshyt lie has been exposed. Some nikka writing a book got James White to try and touch the top of the backboard (note, if any nikka gonna do it it's him) and even he fell short by 2 inches. So in a very, very good day, James White can probably touch the top of the backboard. and that's barely bro.. these other ballers ain't even close in that case
James White cant touch the top, he tried and fell short on video with funny ass camera angles that dont show his take off. 
Its safe to say no one has done it.
I had never even thought about that before. I had gone through my life believing that the GOAT did all that shyt while at the same time watching nikkas the likes of Bron and Dwight barely get their head over the rim and never thought twice about it. Another one bites the dust. 
That myth can go alongside pro athletes being nice humble people, nikkas hitting 70 HR w/o roids, and winning being every teams top priority as sports myths that have been busted.

My pops used to tell me HE could dunk from the free throw line, but since dunking was outlawed that year he just had to lay it up.
His claim to fame is this picture out of the yearbook where he claims he was "still floating up" during the layup.
Yeah the fact that its always the same story (grabbing a quarter, leaving a quarter) lets you know its bullshyt. Like Rod Stewart, Lil Kim and Madonna all getting their stomach's pumped in the hospital for the same reason...
Back in the days before the internet people could just make shyt up and if enough people repeated it it became 100% fact...

That's why I used to love my boys 78 year old pops from Harlem. (RIP) Dude used to call out them old niqqas from back in his day on that bullshyt.
"mannn.....Shaq would destroy the shyt out of Bill Russell."

jr smith was from the dotted line and tom chambers climbed off dudes shoulders
Not to mention Smith is 6'5" and Chambers was 6'10." "The GOAT" was 6'1"
Anybody ever read that old feature on "Fly" Williams in SLAM back in the day? Dude was in there talking reckless. Saying he woulda dominated anybody from any era. Michael, Magic, Bird, whoever. Basically said they didn't hold a candle to him in his prime.

Only person who could realistically do something like that would be Wilt
