How to Do a Two-Handed Basketball Dunk

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Travis Corpening, and I'm about to teach you how to do a two-handed dump. Lets have some fun. Alright, first of all, we're here in beautiful Carolina Beach, North Carolina, their wonderful facility, we want to thank them for allowing us to use it. Getting down to the actual foot work of doing and completing a two-handed dunk, what I want to first tell you is, when you take off, some jumpers, you have different taste, some jumpers like to take off on two feet, some jumpers can take off on one, but whichever your flavor. What you want to do is, when you do take off, if you're a one legged jumper, you want to plant with the opposite hand, if you're right handed, you want to plant with the left leg, if you're left handed you want to plant with the right leg. What you want to do, you want to plant, and once you plant, you immediately bounce and take off, once you take off- now if you're doing a tomahawk dunk, the difference in a tomahawk dunk and just a regular slam, a regular two-handed dunk is a tomahawk- a regular slam you actually just kind of can get away with putting it in once you take off, once you get up there above the rim. But a tomahawk you actually want to take it, bring it back here, and that's a little advance for a little more advance jumpers, you want to take it back here, and kind of get some hang time so it looks really cool, and then you bring it down with authority. A two-handed dunk you can pretty much bring it down with authority too, but a tomahawk two-handed dunk looks a little cooler. So, you want to try it, go ahead give it a shot, once you do try it and you can get up above the rim enough to where you can complete it, you might want to add a little flair to it, maybe some different styles using the legs. If you look at Michael Jordan in the way he dunks, as oppose to Colby Bryant, you'll see their own individual flair. But there you have it, two-handed dunk."
