I used to play some badminton and netball. Not been doing any sports for a good four years though - university made me lazy. Once I'm making some money, maybe I'll get back into stuff.
I am good at no sports. I don't tend to be terrible at sports, either - I just lack the physical presence for the ones I enjoy and the enthusiasm for those that I don't need such physical presence. I still enjoy a good game of cricket and I've been told I'm not a bad bowler. I can hit a tennis ball bloody far, too, but against a cricket ball it's a different story, going back to the whole physical presence thing.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It was probably like at my high school, where there were lower hoops on some courts than on others. I don't know why - possibly they do it so that it's a reasonable size compared to younger kids or something. I definitely remember some people being able to dunk at my high school.

Tennis and badminton.
I liked basketball back in school but I haven't played it in years on account of having never had the chance. I'd probably be useless at it now.
Also I seemed to have a slight natural talent for playing on defence in football but I would rather take a bath in your mother's period blood than even watch it, much less play it. Still though, knock a ball in my direction and, if I'm not in my right mind (in my right mind I would normally let it pass me by so its poor owner has to crawl into a nettle bush to retrieve it) my drilled-in-by-havin'-football-shoved-down-my-throat-for-countless-years instincts overtake me I will trap it and pass it back something fierce, then move on.
I am crazy good at dressage.
You don't have to believe it. My brother didn't either and that's when I dunked on him. I'm pretty sure women dunking is not as amazing as you're making it out to be. Sure it's uncommon, but not some mystical "phenom."
Anyway, I have no interest in playing basketball apart from my playing knock out with my cousins once in a blue moon. I'm not much of a sports person as I presume all you nerds on here aren't either.
Shiny palming a ball is much less surprising than her dunking, assuming she uses a women's ball. And no, women dunking is not at all mystical (it's very rare in actual games, but many women can do it in a gym), though I have never heard of a woman much under 6' being able to dunk. Or really anyone, male or female, only 5'1". That's some major jumping skills.
On a similar subject, I was at my uncle's house over the weekend and the gold medal women's basketball game was on, and he was commenting, in response to my cousin's question, that a mere ~6' woman who was a SG/SF on the USA's team couldn't dunk because she's "just a girl." I disputed him that it was impossible, but couldn't back it up with anything concrete. You should upload a video I can send to him (and also so I can curse my white man's knees in shame).
I'm pretty beastly at lacrosse. I had one of the best shots on the team for two years.
I can also play some damn fine hockey when I keep at my skating.
