How to Do a Two-Handed Basketball Dunk

Although not as aesthetically pleasing as a one-handed dunk, the two-handed dunk is probably the highest percentage shot in basketball and is effective even if you are fouled.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Increase your vertical leap. Just because you can dunk with one hand doesn't necessarily mean you can dunk with two. You have to jump a little higher because you need both hands above the rim.
2. Dribble the ball toward the basket with speed.
3. Pick up the ball.
4. Hold the ball firmly between both hands.
5. Jump off of one foot. Most people jump higher off one foot, but you can also jump off two feet for this dunk.
6. Extend your arms and hands toward the basket.
7. Slam the ball through the rim.

Tips & Warnings

• Dunking with two hands is safer than with one hand because you can protect the ball better.
• If you can't palm the ball, this is the dunk for you.
• Hanging on the rim is illegal unless there's danger of you landing on somebody beneath you.
