if ur a serios basketballer you would know that doing sick dunks is only a minor part of the actual game. a layup is worth the same as a dunk. if you really want to dunk better try skipping or a program called the 5 star jump program. just type 5 star jump program into yahoo and you will find it but skipping is the best bet as tricks isnt just about elevation but quickness in the air as well. skipping will help hand and foot speed.

Hey Stevo,
I'm around your height and I can dunk on a ten foot hoop too. My first dunk on ten feet was a one-hander when I was 15.(I might have been shorter then than now, though). Now I'm 17, and I can dunk two handed. Something that may have helped improve my vertical leap is jumping on a trampoline. Try that, you might have fun with it too! And like Babytron05 said, keep jumping.

keep on jumping. seriously. just practice standing next to the backboard and jumping up and seeing how high you can reach up the back board. you need to get stronger in the legs only way you are going to do this is by jumping (working out does help but you don't need to bulk up the legs just make the stronger) so don't go out trying to do 800 lbs squats thinking that will help it won't.
condition your legs to jump in the manner you want. also a very good way of increasing your vertical is by running on the beach and also playing beach volley ball (basically get in the sand and start jumping around) this works WONDERS AND IS YOUR BEST BET. if you don't live near a beach you should find a sand box. when I started to play beach volley ball i increased my vertical by 5 inches in just a matter of months.

Color doesn't matter. Buy one of the many coaches videos
that highlight training, work-outs and the like. Bobby Knight,
Geno Auriema et al have vids available. Check on line.
Then watch a few Harlem Globetrotters videos and
practice,practice,practice!

in all risk I actual have a chum who can dunk at 5`2 so which you have a gamble in case you truly need to i think of you will desire to circulate on your community fitness center and paintings out on your legs to get them stable sufficient to dunk!!! that is all it takes!
