Slam Dunk - Dunk Types

Dunk Types

In addition to the basic one- or two-hand forward-facing dunk, there are a variety of other dunks. Alternatives to the classic dunk require varying degrees of athleticism and are often employed in the game setting, wowing audiences, or are featured in contests to achieve high scores. A brief discussion of dunk types, with descriptions, examples, variations, and historical tidbits will appear in this module. Some dunk variants, e.g. double-windmill or 360° between-the-legs will be discussed separately of their progenitor due to the significance of those dunks.

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
