I know he's good at getting dunked on. But is there any evidence that he's ever dunked in his life? He's what? 6' somethin. That should be tall enough.

Yes. Nash dunking was detailed in "07 seconds or less". I don't think he ever has in a game, though.

Raja Bell said he could.

I remember reading somewhere (I don't have a link, so feel free to call bullshit) that Nash couldn't dunk when he first got into the league. Danny Ainge, Nash's coach in his rookie season, got so pissed that he made Nash work on dunking during every practice. By the end of the year, Nash was finally able to jam it, though I guess he doesn't have any confidence in his dunking abilities since I've never seen him do it in games.

dunking isn't a superhuman feat that only nba players can do. im only 6'0 and i dunk easily, pretty sure nash can and besides he does it in warmups every now and then

I saw him dunk his donut one time. But the coffee cup wasn't very tall.

Thanks. I think it would blow peoples minds and get a defender benched for the rest of the game if he ever dunked in a game.

I'd be very surprised if he couldn't.

im sure he could, but he probably just feels more comfortable with a layup rather than potentially missing the dunk and blowing the easy 2 points.

who cares if he can dunk, he can pass better then anyother nba point, and can score better then anyother point. its to bad he will never get a ring, cos the man deserves one more then kurt thomas does

We need a Photoshop of a small white man dunking, with the famous ugly Nash face on it. :D

I'd rather be beaten by my father as a child than have that happen.

My HS basketball coach/gym teacher worked as an assistant to Jay Triano (former Team Canada coach) and he worked Nash out a few times and said he could. This was about 7 years ago FYI....

Nice... now Nash is on par with 14 year-olds worldwide!
