New member constantly dreaming of finally being able to dunk

Hey everybody, first off a little about me.
I'm 21/M 5'9" wit shoes 148 lbs, around 9% body fat.
Squat 160 (5 reps), Deadlift 185 (5 reps), Bench Press 185 (1repmax)
7'0" reach (short arms) and a 33" max 2 feet vert, 36" max 1 foot vert (basically just touching rim).
I have been totally in love with and obsessed with basketball since I was in middle school.  I'm a scoring guard, who is usually the player with the quickest 1st step on the court 9 times out of 10.  Since moving to campus at my university, and having free access to a weight room and basketball courts all the time, I have decided to revitalize my goal of dunking.  I have literally been obsessed with being able to dunk for the past few months and have done extensive research online and such.  As I join this forum I hope I will gain the knowledge on how to do just that from the members and Adarqui himself. 
Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

you sure only 7'0 reach? that's EXTREMELY short for 5'9... that's one arm or two? regardless, very low reach that'd be some very short arms.

if that's your true reach then those are some nice vert numbers.

regardless of your actual vert, if you are just touching rim, barely, you're going to want around 8 inches over to land that first dunk
