can a kangaroo dunk a basketball? of course they can't. Can they dunk over Yao Ming. Of course they can't. Enough said


I have decided the best course of action for these td's is to take them serious.

Lebron is listed with a 44" vertical, thats a bit better than 3 1/2 feet.

The average Kangaroo has a verticle of 120" or 10 feet.


A kangaroo is not going to throw it down on Yao Ming.


With a 10 ft Verticle, It can dunk with its feet.
They can weight up to 250lbs and stand in excess of 7ft. It can exceed speeds of 45 MPH and cover 9 meters in 1 leap.

How do you advise Yao to stop this coming into the lane?


I advice Yao to stop this in the lane by opening his eyes a little bit jumping up and taking it like a man. if a kangaroo is jumping with the ball in his feet how is it at all possible for him to dunk. It would eb so easy for Yao to swat that ball into about the 14th row.


200 lbs, 40 mph, yao would get crushed in the lane, and wouldnt be brave enough to keep his feet set, so the roo would get the dunk and 1

If the kangaroo can't dunk on Yao Ming it can certainly kick his @s$.

Does anyone remember that classic funny clip of a kangaroo beating the hell out of a dumb mascot?

That is the title of the TD, so Frank wins just by showing that a Roo does in fact have a higher vert...

Here's a better question. Will anyone admit to having paid money to see "Kangaroo Jack" under any circumstances?

If Woody Harrelson can prove that white men CAN jump (and dunk) I have 100% confidence in a kangaroo doing so.

True, Yao's never been dunked by a kangaroo, but can LeBron carry his kids in a fanny pack?

Good arguments Frank, I think you caught tgriff by surprise by actually taking ti serious lol.

I will take this seriously as did Frank... your topic, tgriff, is "LeBron James has a higher VERTICAL than a kangaroo", not "LeBron James can DUNK BETTER than a kangaroo"...

So whether or not the ball goes through the hoop -- or whether a kangaroo ever EVEN BOTHERS with a basketball -- is irrelevant. You only debated vertical leap... and the KANGAROO takes it easily, leaping nearly 3x higher than James...
