About Dunking

Dunking a basketball requires a combination of height, vertical jump ability, and technique. The ability to dunk depends on your maximum reach compared to the rim height.

Key Factors:

Height

Taller players have a natural advantage due to higher standing reach

Vertical Jump

The ability to jump high is crucial for reaching the rim

Arm Length

Longer arms extend your reach and make dunking easier

  • Intermediate: 30-50 cm - Good foundation, room for improvement
  • Advanced: 50-70 cm - Strong jumping ability
  • Elite: 70+ cm - Exceptional jumping ability
