How Do You Dunk Like An NBA Star?
This summer I set myself the ambitious goal of learning how to dunk like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Quite an ambitious goal I know, since Michael and Kobe are some of the best dunkers on the entire planet, not even mentioning James Lebron and Vince Carter. I did aspire to dunk like them, even if I am 5’5 because I wanted to share in their success, and experience the cheering crowd of a filled arena in my high school. First I started analyzing what do these NBA pros have that I do not currently: 1. Height, yep, these guys are all taller than me, but in the end I found that I can overcome this handicap with the next element: 2. Elevation, which is the equivalent of how high you can jump. Here is where you can do the most for your success, and work your way up with explosive training. 3. Physique, which is closely related to elevation, as your leg muscles and joints throttle you up in the air. 4. Joints: I realized I need to have my joints in the best shape. No crackling, no hurting
