There is absolutely no way Lance Armstrong can dunk a basketball. Percentage wise, almost no one under six feet tall can dunk.

I'm 5'10 and i could dunk when i was in high school (barely). Never in a game, but in warmups and messin around. I was never a sprinter/quick-twitch muscle kind of guy either.

I would bet lance could dunk pretty easily. Biking, esp in the hills (which, iirc, is considered one of his strong spots) requires pretty good power in many of the same muscles as required to jump.
