Dunk : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Dunk
Also called « Slam dunk », it is a very spectacular move in Basketball.
It consists in putting the ball inside the basket while hanging on the ring of the same basket. This requires a good impulse, dexterity and a good size !
Indeed, the basket is located 3,05 meters up the floor, “small” players will experience more troubles to hang !
Even though it constitutes an impressive move when watching, let's must not forget that it may be risky for the scorer as well as for the defense in front. Risks of being bumped in or jumped over by a dunker exist. Also, the fact that the board that holds the basket is made of glass, meaning it is more fragile, makes it even more dangerous.
Nevertheless, this happens rarely and the dunk remains one of the favorite actions of basketball fans who do not hesitate to put it in top baskets.
We should not forget that dunk brings in 2 points and is not exclusively an acrobatic jump !
Among the most famous dunkers there are : Wilt Chamberlain, Dominique Wilkins, Michael “Air” Jordan and, more recently, Shaquille O' Neal (2.16 meters tall for 330 pounds !), Vince Carter and Dwight “Superman” Howard.
