How
To Dunk Like An NBA
Player
|
|
Every year the NBA hosts an
All Star Game. Only the best of the best in basketball get invited.
Besides the All Star Game, the premier event is the NBA Dunk Contest.
The NBA Dunk
Contest has four contestants, each with an amazing vertical and dunking
ability.
Some of the former great NBA leapers were in attendance at this year's
contest. I mean, these guys could jump out of the gym. Big time leapers
like Dominique Wilkins, who could slam the basketball like his life
depended on it. And Michael Jordan, who's vertical leap
was ridiculous. He was effortless when gliding through the air for a
sublime dunk. These guys talk the young ones how to dunk. Do you
remember these two battling it out in the mid 80’s? Every
dunk they did was perfect. If Michael Jordan showed his vertical leap
by dunking from the foul line, Dominique Wilkins would jump even higher
and do a tomahawk dunk. It never mattered who won, because the fans
always got a great show.
Younger fans may not have seen these two greats live. But most have
either seen highlights or clips on YouTube. If you have ever wondered how to
increase your vertical and jump higher,
you have no doubt found links to Dominique and Michael slamming the
basketball.
I would bet that many of this year’s NBA Slam Dunk
contestants are fans of Dominique and Michael. No doubt they must have
been inspired by the leaping ability of both. One high flyer,
supercharged vertical wonder in this year’s contest was Nate
Robinson. This little man has tremendous ups and total vertical
explosion. Mad hops, if you will. With a vertical over 45 inches, no
one can jump higher for his size. To increase his vertical took
countless hours of practice. And it probably took more than just
jumping exercises. He has a strong, compact frame so he must be doing
strength exercises to jump higher also. His investment in an amazing
vertical leap paid off when he slammed over Dwight Howard for the
title. Nate Robinson jumped over the 7-foot Dwight Howard to dunk.
Amazing!
If you are an aspiring basketball player and want to learn to dunk,
like your idols, you need to learn to jump higher. To get a good
vertical leap like Nate, Michael, or Dominique -- or just to increase
your vertical -- takes work. But jumping exercises, plyometrics, and
strength exercises can have you jumping higher within a matter of
weeks. Just imagine the payout of jumping higher: you, the ball, the
net, the crowd, and a dunk. A hammer dunk, a t-square dunk, a 360 dunk,
or even a basketball between-the-legs dunk to win the game.
See you at the rim!
