 It's not my dunk, but we can call it that. I'll take it It's absolutely pouring right now, so hopefully I can go to the gym soon No more stair run for the OGs, but maybe this little path will be my new dunk day run thing. What? Okay, that's dangerous time with this song What a life been a fantastic couple days The only problem with the dunk journey 2.0 right now is I could probably go dunk every single day I recently quit my job which meant I had to go into an office now I don't I'm a free man and it's now tough to not go dunk every single day So we're headed today to go dunk today's feels are as follows Yo, so I actually went to a sports massage therapist rehab center yesterday for my hamstring I learned a lot so I do want to invest in myself in that area But I just don't know if someone walking me through the exercises what I need I need more of the massage side of the energy energy one of the big things I learned is that I breathe a lot of my chest energy energy energy if I breathe in my core energy energy Yeah, it uses more of my core so my legs don't have to recruit as much muscle energy energy energy when I'm stretching them When I'm using them, so I need to practice how to breathe through my core energy energy energy The silly bounce first of all I didn't coin that term. I blame Andy for naming it that it's not my dunk But we can call it that I'll take it so I went hard with it. I'll take that. I made it stylish I'll take that But people have been doing it forever. I'm not gonna name people have done it But uh, it's the timing timing is everything with this dunk. It's super easy It puts the ball right by the rim the number one problem I see with people doing the self-bounce dunk is they don't bounce it hard enough because they're always catching it like this and Then bringing it up. So just bounce it hard So you're going so you're going for it The timing is as follows. Hey yo, this is voice over the linguistic Steve So what you're gonna want to do is bounce it right before your arm swing and your penultimate So the ball is going up right before you take off and you go up with the ball Just practice it try the timing record yourself The way I do it is I just run full speed and right before I take a penultimate I bounce it hard so I can get a full arm swing and I just bounce it right by the rim Yeah, I just said that just worry about the timing first and then the placement will come You just want to kind of just bounce it. You don't even need the ball Just run with the ball and get comfortable bouncing it and then jumping at the rim And then get a full jump Then the timing of the bounce and the jump is perfect and then all you got to do is place the box the bounce So place it right by the rim place it where you want place it for a windmill and the placement So timing and placement pretty simple. Yeah, yo, here comes some details, baby Okay, one thing that I like to start with is the bounce right there that bounce right there I like it gets me in a rhythm now. Here's the number one key this bounce right here I bounce it hard so it goes high and I'll explain that in a second But I bounce it and here's the number one trick which is bouncing it right as I go into my arm swing Okay, so as you see I bounced it as I'm going into my arm swing and then I'm jumping as the ball's going up And I absolutely destroy it. Okay, and now do you have to get this hype every time? Yes, or else you're doing it wrong now. Here's another angle Okay, same dunk different angle and what's happening is this you see me bounce it right before my arm swing You see my penultimate coming now right here perfect timing I'm going up with the ball as the ball is going up I'm going up and that's the timing you want and now look at the placement the placement the balls right in front of the rim Makes it super easy to just go up with it catch it and yeah, man Okay, now another word on placement right here same dunk different angle camera angle I mean because I'm a cinematographer bro. Okay, so I'm bouncing it right here now This is what I want you to notice I bounce it right there, but look how much it travels to the left It's traveling from here all the way right in front of the rim, and then it's just too easy Okay, so remember that sometimes you have to run fast with it And you run fast and it travels with you and you don't get like that don't get hard Okay, don't go with a little bit of swag like friggin like friggin like this. Okay. Yeah, okay But now what I want you to work on is running full speed So my first advice would be practice running full speed Bouncing it hard and don't even mind where the ball goes just bounce it hard and attack the rim with a big penultimate so you can get your full jump and Time it with your bounce. So don't worry about where the ball goes and we're placing it Just get the run Just get the run down where you can bounce it hard and jump at the rim full approach because once you can do that You just bounce it hard and you can go get the ball for instance like so This is why I like bouncing it high and going to get it you tell me if it sucks. Yeah, okay So what did I do right here? This is what I like about jump making it go high when you bounce it low You can go for tricks, but I like this dunk to go up for it because it forces me into good jumping mechanics What do I mean? What does Steve mean? Okay, just like the backboard dunk the ball is going up so fast I don't have time to do anything, but stay upright. Look. I'm already looking at it Oh god, it's going away for me. I need and I need it my head is upright My torso is upright and I go for that ball I go and I reach and it makes me go super upright with my jump which forces me into good jump mechanics Which I love because I need those cues in my jumping now look I reach for that thing and like oh I'm used to reaching for stars and yeah I grab the star and push punch into the moon now. Here's another one where I go with two hands same thing same God, he's so freaking exciting to watch. Okay, so Bounce it super high almost too high, but it makes me jump and go get it and I almost have to wait for it Now that's okay Maybe not the most optimal made for a really interesting dunk But what I love about it is it when I go really fast and I bounce it really hard It makes me super aggressive just go get it and it puts it right by the rim makes it super easy now Talking about the swag here. Yeah, can you teach that? I don't know how can you work on it? Yes, should you attack the rim like this every single time? Undubitably, okay go for it push it. Yeah, okay. Have fun with it. Okay. Here's my boy Tyler doing the same thing He doesn't do it wrong, but he can make it even more efficient that makes it easier He bounces a little bit early, so he goes into his penultimate a little bit later The ball's coming down he dunks it reverse is really nice and there's nothing wrong with it But he can come in a little bit faster dunking a little Bounce it a little later so he can jump with the ball and really do something a little bit like Yeah, okay. Now. Here's what's great about it after all that after you get the placement down the timing down It makes it a very easy dunk, but people don't know that so people that don't know you still get excited I was a little white. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. He's my 10 of what I Can't believe it's a dunk day. I didn't see this coming for a while With this self-balanced dunk I make it look easy because it's the one I've mastered I've practiced it for so many years and I use a lot of my arms swing and I have to follow my hand It's too easy just want you to know that it takes time it takes practice and don't give up Give it a lot of tries get the timing down practice a ton anybody that you see doing something with a high level of skill It took a lot of time My kidding my stomach is killing me. I don't know what happened MCT oil. Maybe I don't know it hurts I haven't had a tummy ache in years. I don't remember the light I don't know it took a shit maybe I'll go to the gym later But I was gonna be a fun David positives are that maybe it's good that I rest because I was antsy to go and I need to maybe a little bit more rest. So maybe I'll rest up, but It's really killing me. I just feel like every when I lean over it feels better. So I'm literally doubled over. Why am I filming? I don't know
