Ever noticed that even ballers who can jump really high,
can't do some special dunks like 360s or windmills? They
may do it in a powerful way because of their vertical leap
but they can't do a certain things.

Why is that?

Do you think that even if you are as tall as Vince Carter
and have his vertical leap you'd be able to dunk the way he
does it? Hell no!

Not only does he have developed the right muscles for
dunking but he has the ?touch? for the ball. Now that's
important right there. He has control over the ball.
Everytime he spins for a 180 or 360 degrees he knows where
he is.

Or how about this? Spud Webb winning the slam dunk contest
in 1986. That little guy can't even palm the ball.

Well who said he needs to?

I can teach you with a little practice, how you can
maintain control when you spin for a 360 and how you can do
a one-handed dunk without having to palm the ball (except
if you want to slam dunk in someone's face:) which I'll
also cover later in this article)


First of all, dunking demands your devotion. You can't just
hope that someday when you grow taller, or gain inches to
your vertical you'll try something else.

**TIP ? You can't never be TOO fancy when trying new dunks.
Use your imagination, it will push you far.

Even though I've been practicing day and night in my back-
yard basket I couldn't see some measurable improvements at
first. I'll show you some very useful tips so you don't
have to learn them the hard way (and the hard way ain't
pretty:)

Probably the most important thing when spinning is your
head. The head is the leader. That's the way it is in
gymnastic, that's the way it is in BASKETBALL too!

Always remember, when you spin, always turn your head
toward the rim first and your whole body follows. This
sounds really simple but believe me it can help you when
you practice.

Palming the ball. Most of my friends say that you can't do
one-handed dunks without palming the ball unless you are

tall enough. Not necessarily! Sure it helps if you can palm
the ball. You have better control over the ball and thus
you are more confident in your dunks. This is important
too.

**TIP ? Lick you fingertips for better palming.

But instead, you can do it this way. The next time you go
for a one-handed dunk, catch the ball with two hands right
before you jump. Bring it up as your body goes up after you
jump. As you extend your arms, turn away your left hand (if
you are right handed which of course means you dunk with
your right hand, if you are left handed turn away your
right hand) and as soon as you reach that point slightly
above the rim you can dunk the ball. Read that carefully.

For those of you with true passion for this game!

Let's look at some ways you can do in-your-face-dunks. For
doing in-your-face-dunks, it's far easier if you can palm
the ball. That's for sure. Unless of course you want to
dunk with both hands which is little harder to do because
of two reasons.

1.) - You can't jump as high. That's a fact. If you dunk
with both hands the level where the ball is can never be
higher than if you dunk with one hand. And..

2.) ? When you go up with a palmed ball in one hand is very
easy to extend your whole body to the MAX and thus ?hide?
the ball from the defender.

So if you decide to dunk in someone's face with one hand
you can do it this way. While you are going against the rim
and you see that the defender is trying to block you, you
simply put the arm that is not holding the ball (with your
wrist pointing at the defender) in front of you so that he
won't be able to reject you that easy. It really helps
because this way you are in a better position.

You can even ?hide? the ball by extending the arm that you
are holding the ball with even further. And assuming that
he is not really 10 inches higher than you and 2 times
stronger, you should be able to *DUNK IN HIS FACE* Let him
know who he is dealing with. It will scare him even more
the next time he tries to reject you because subconsciously
he knows that you've already ?dunked in his face?.

Another way you can do it is if you decide to dunk with two
hands. This helps if you are not as tall as your defender
but you are little stronger. If you are somewhat stronger
you can do it because of your body. Your body will dominate
in the air and it will push his body away thus getting
*you* closer to the rim.

If you decide to go with two hands you should ?hide? the
ball by bringing it behind you head if you have the time to
do that (meaning you have a decent vertical leap)

Now, there is another very important factor and that is the
positioning. If the defender is ready to reject you
(assuming he is as tall as you are, and has about the same
vertical leap and is about as strong as you are) then it's
more difficult thing to do as opposed to if he was 2
seconds late (meaning you'll be in a better position ?
CRUCIAL)
