I always avoided increasing my leg strength during basketball season because I foolishly thought that it would be detrimental.
Last season was the first time I tried it, and I had some of the best gains of my life. I went from not even being able to dunk off two feet to being able to dunk a 2 handed tomahawk (ball cocked behind neck and touched it) about 3 months later.

Try it out for a few weeks and see how it goes.

What kind of music do you listen to? Do you like BT?

dam at least wear sweatpants and a hoodie or something! Or maybe hoodies/sweaters interfere with your shot? I can't stand that... I can never play with sleeves. Not even a t-shirt. I always play in a tank top or a jersey. If i happen to have a t-shirt i roll up the sleeves.

I think I may be ready for D1 in a year or two because of my insane jumpshot and slowly improving athletic ability... i routinely destroy this 6'6 shooting guard who's a damn junior in HS (averaging about 32ppg on varsity, and i think his championship game is today) who plays for York Prep. I mean we have LITERALLLLLY played 1-on-1 about FIFTY (50) times and I have beat him. He's getting a shit loaod of D1 looks because he's young, tall, and has a HELL of a 3 point shot. He's just skinny and lanky right. But out of all the times we've played, I've beat him...

every.single.time.

EXCEPT For the very last time we played, in which i lost by two points. Like I mean my record against his is probably 62-1, NO EXAGGERATION. And I mean that I have literally WRECKED this kid like 16-4 and 11-1 and 21-6 everyyyy singllleee timeeeeeeeeeeeee we play because NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES he just cannot stop my jumpshot...

I'm a freshman in college right now at fordham university, but i swear i think i can make the team. I'm doing a 5 year program anyway so I have another 4 years left...

omg man.... i just regained a lot of my motivation for basketball..... i need to re-name my log to "Dreyth's Journey to Division I Basketball."

i swear i think i can make that team because they're mid-major and kinda suck anyway, and i'm 6'1 but my jumpshot has insane potential (i remember being like 15 and hitting dozens of 3's in a row in game with LITERALLY fingers touching my face)... i just need to be like that every single day, and not just on my "on fire" days.

I never woulda thought I'd be so motivated to play basketball again like this. I can't forget that I'm on a mission and basketball is my life.......

He should be re-directed to the emo thread whenever he clicks on this one.

Why don't we just start here and post our fb pages?

My goal is to be able to dunk 2 handed off a 100% standstill. Just measured my reach at 93" (7'9") in the middle of this post. Rim is 120" but lets say I have a 94" reach in shoes.

I need 26" to touch rim. 32" to dunk with one hand, or probably a 34" standing vert without the ball. My two hand reach is about 3-4" lower than my one hand reach. That means I need a 38" standing vert to dunk 2 handed from a standstill.

Well, currently my standing vert is about 30" but my running is 38" so that's a big difference. When I dunk 2 handed off a standstill, my running vert should be 46"

I'M WITH YOU ADARQUI.
