Bio

Can't measure vertical I am incarcerated I can grab rim the with two hands with ease and my wrist can touch rim still training but its pretty hard because we are not allowed to have weights because of safety issues.I do plyometrics and strength training in my room. It tends to be hard for me to do dunks because we only have one rim in our ''yard'' and everyone uses it to play games so I only get to practice dunking every Tuesday. Very stressful I am working to get a camera in here to have vidoes of me training and jumping so I can show the world and tell my story by the time I get released. As I'm typing this I Have been training for 9 months been incarcerated for 2 years and expected to get out in 4-5 more years if the court works in favor i will get released before I am 25 years old, if not you won't hear from me for some time. But like I said I will continue to train until I get out of here by then I pray and hope I will be the next big thing, I always been dedicated to dunk after one of the guards told me I jump pretty high but at the time my running jump was about 23 inches now my running jump is about 37,i think.I use a yard stick to measure my standing jump and my peers say 31 or 32.I have thankful on how much I increased and I hope I will get into Dunk Contest. I am still training to dunk a full size basketball i can do windmills, double pump, 180, tomahawk, etc, with a dodge ball.Can't dunk a basketball yet but I am very close My wrist is touching rim and I just need 4-5 more inches to throw it down with ease.Today is April 20,2023 been training since July 10 2022.Thanks for reading this and you will soon see my dunk abilities.
