Dunked it off the alley yesterday. I'm getting up fine but the ball flies out of my hand and hits the backboard every time.

Not very big, I can't palm the ball

That's what I'm thinking cause mfs always told me if you can grab the rim with two hands you can dunk. What can I do to improve my form?

just focus on getting the ball over the rim while its still in your hand..like dont let go until your coming down not when you think at highest peak becuase you try too early and miss or get hung...just hold it longer you get it....

i use to do box jumps with the medicine ball....I was athletic enough that Wall use to challenge me to dunk contest after pick up games....so yeah speaking from experience

Deadlifts. Jumping with weights on a chair or some box. Just dont hurt your self. Sprinting helped me get more explsosive, which helps when trying to dunk

are you attempting to dunk with one or two hands?

I'm 6'1 I can grab the rim with 2 hands easily. And I can grab it with one hand off the vert. Can't dunk at all tho. What are some good plyometric exercises for those last couple inches

Worry about your handle and mid range jumpshot. Dunking won't matter if you can't create space. How else you gonna get to the rack?
