| he was dunking like hell. And that's what you should do. | | | | 3.) I learned to spin the hard way because I didn't know |
| But hey.. I'm not going to leave you without some | | | | where the head should be turned. Well, here's a |

| 1.) If you are determined to dunk with authority | | | | thing to look at the rim. And boy, was I ever wrong. |
| everytime you are dunking a basketball, and you lower | | | | The head should be the first thing to look at the rim. |
| your buttocks little more than usual you can pull off | | | | Here's how you do that. |
