lots of places have the side nets lower. i remember my gym teacher in high school showing us how to dunk. he was a 5'10 old white guy. some of those shots are laughable. they land on the ground looking like they can just reach up and touch the rim. sure, some of them are impressive, but some of them honestly make me laugh. they're like 6'2 black guys feeling all pro cause they can slam a low net.
