on 6/11/2008 Thanks for bringing back some great memories of Michael Jordan. Not only did he elevate, he dunked with authority!

on 7/19/2007 It's also good to start off by simply trying to grab the rim and not focusing on dunking. Either jump vertically and try and grab the rim or take a few steps before jumping. If you do this regularly you'll find that you can grab more and more of the rim - maybe just a finger at first, then the palm, and then the wrist. When you can easily get your hand to the rim, it's time to start trying with a basketball in your hand. It'll be easier to dunk with one hand and then later you can use two.

on 6/11/2007 Jordan's leaping ability is not something anybody can match, a big part of that is genetics. However, you can drastically increase you vertical leap by training your legs, but reaching "His Airness" status is not something most mortals will be able to do.
