Re: Official Rebound Rumble Thread

For "Dunking":

I did the math with a current team member. What we figured out about the 2 point hoops:
-From the front of the fender to edge of the hoop is 14.75 inches
-From the side of the fender to the hoop is 14.625 inches
-From the corner of the fender to the hoop is 24 inches
-From the center of the front of the fender to the hoop is 27.25 inches (this is the worst case scenario)

Add in the 14 inch extension and you are pretty close to the basket. A bump (or even a ramp a foot or so up) would be enough to get it into the basket from pretty much anywhere.

Fun fact: even with the 14'' extension, you still can't touch the hoops.
