Not exactly sure what the term "real dunker" means, but okay.

It means someone who dunks more than 3 times in a season.

We don't have the talent pool that you'd find in the Twin Cities area or down south. Could you imagine if we expected are players to play like NBA players? We would find the game so boring, no one would watch. So as a result, we lowered our standards and what we see in person that excites us is very different than what excites you when your on TV.

I've seen a lot of big time slammers that weren't talented....all they could do is run and jump (talent in itself but not a basketball player) and explain cultural in reference to a dunk if you would....

Cultural... Cultural. You live in North Dakota, right? You know we're not a flashy people, here right? We're a quiet, conservative people that doesn't like to show off. That should explain the whole dunking thing right there. Sure, North Dakota isn't quite as traditional as it was many years ago. But our emphasis in basketball isn't learning to impress college scouts. It's, more or less, about instilling values in the young people in our state. Granted, we miss that mark a good 45% of the time, but you get my point, I hope.
