Post 6'4 and cant dunk

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and very excited to be part of this community. My problem is I'm 6'4 and I cannot dunk. Can anyone please give me advise or exercises for me to succeed. People call me " 6'4 for nothing". And dont tell me dunking is not important because its not but I wanna be able to dunk. Thank you in advance.

Strengthen your legs up and you should have no problem. Just remember though Shaq couldn't dunk until he was 6'10

Work and your lower body strength. Build up your flexibility to make sure your body is loose enough for the proper movement.

Re: 6'4 and cant dunk

Dunking is definitely an important aspect of the game if you have the ability to do it....If your playing with high level comp, its a sure fire way to finish at the rim...and at 6'4, it could be another weapon in your arsenal...

So what is the problem?...are you not getting enough lift? or are you just not finishing?

Re: 6'4 and cant dunk

Dunking to me isn't important at all. It's great to do it if you can, but it's got nothing to do with being a good basketbal player. Otherwise, we would say that Steve Nash/John Stockton (and...many others) can't play and should have worked at an office. If you're 6'4" and can't dunk, that probably means one of these:
1. That's your genetics (but let's not discuss it too much because the 2K rules ban it).
2. You havn't worked on your leg muscles enough.

There are programs/drills to strengthen your legs, just be careful because some of the drills may hurt your knees.

By the way, take your age into account. If you're close to 30, I wouldn't start working on it. Too late for that.

Re: 6'4 and cant dunk

Not to be mean, because dunking to me isn't that big of a deal, but " 6'4" for nothing" is friggin brilliant.
