like you said, your still a kid. Micheal Jordan wasn't able to dunk as kid either, just keep working on it and it will come. do squats and calf raises, by the summer you'll be able to jump alot higher.

Well simply put they have amazing verticals usually depending on the height over 50 inches. The reason is that if they build up their leg muscles (using squats and plyometrics) the same as people who are taller they get more lift due to the fact they are carrying less weight. Nate Robinson won the Slam Dunk contest this year and he is around 5'9" 175lbs and Muggsy Bouges who dunked a few times in his NBA career was 5'3" 140lbs. If you train hard enough anyone can dunk.

Jump rope.  That really helped my vertical jump when I did track N field.  I jumped rope every day.  Watch Nate Robinson in the NBA dunk contest.  he's your height.

It was Juliues Erving or Dr J that made the famous move not Larry Bird. He did it in the Game 4 of the 1980 NBA Finals against the LA Lakers.\n\nThe famous Larry Bird shot is probably the one where he rebounds his own miss, switches the ball to his other hand while still in mid-air and lays it in. That was in Game 1 of the 1981 NBA Finals against the Rockets and was called the "greatest play I have ever seen" by former Boston coach Red Auerbach.

In order to dunk, you will need to get your wrist above the rim. At 5' 5", I estimate that standing and reaching as high as you can, your wrist will be no more than 6' 5". That means you will have to develop a vertical jump of 41". Not unheard of, but difficult.\n\nI would recommend jumping rope, weights, and bounding up steps, two or three steps at a time, both single legged and double legged. It might work, it might not.

I wasn't impressed...he just stood there and didn't even blink, I kept trying to introduce myself but he wouldn't even budge. One of my friends told me it was just a life-size cardboard cutout of MJ but I still like to believe to this day Michael Jordan goes out in public with his Bulls uniform, holding a basketball and doesn't ever move.

I have a friend who is white and 5'9'' and can dunk a tennis ball. By the time he finishes his jump program he'll be able to dunk real basketball. Here's what he did: he got Air Alert III and followed it religiously. I have tried it, and all you do is simply jump--alot! I would seriously look into it if I were you. You jump as high as you can (leaps), you jump on your tiptoes (burners), you put one foot on a chair, jump up, and then switch (which works your quads). Once a week you grab a pillow and do squat hops, where you squat down and hop up and down for a minute. \nHope this all helps...

Well, let's see..... he can jump really high. Or maybe it's because he doesn't miss any shots. No, that can't be it. Perhaps, he's the best because he won slam dunk contests. Plus he pioneered the long baggy shorts. No, no, no....I think I got it:  ITS BECAUSE ESPN SAYS SO !!!!  Yeah, thats it.\n\nSeriously, sorry to break it to you folks, but Michael Jordan is not the best player of all time. There is no legitimate argument, period. He might be one of the most exciting players to watch, but in terms of all around talent, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are far and away much better. \n\nThe reason some people say Jordan is the best is because there has been no athlete in the past two decades who has been more over-hyped, more promoted, and more marketed than Michael Jordan. He could not possibly live up to those standards. Between movies, shoes, cereal boxes, fast food and everything else he's advertised, who hasn't heard of Michael Jordan ? \n\nHe came along at just the right time. David Stern became commissioner and heavily marketed the NBA to corporate America. What better face to put on it but Jordan. He played a flashier style of b-ball, be was polite and accesible to writers and fans. In other words, he was family friendly. But he played for the lowly Chicago Bulls.\n\nSo maybe if we increased the number of playoff teams from 12 to 16, the Bulls might make the playoffs and we can have Michael on t.v. more. And maybe if we added a slam dunk contest to the all-star game, people can see even more of Michael. Plus, we now have a 24 hour sports channel so nobody can possibly miss his high flying dunks and acrobatic moves.\n\nNow, I 'm not trying to take anything away from Jordan. He was a great player FOR HIS TIME. He had great talent and was exciting to watch. But as far as dominating the league, that didn't happen until Bird and Magic had gone and the league expanded to 27 and 29 teams, thereby depleting the talent pool.

It was in his rookie season, it was a sunday afternoon game. If I recall correctly it was Orlando at Phoenix. He went up for a dunk and took the backboard down with him.  Some say it was a publicity stunt by the NBA.

Do some step exercise. Try dunking a basketball or at least touching the rim or the net. And even if you can't keep trying. That's how I increased my vertical jump.
