From Dunking on 8 Feet 3 Months Ago to Preparing for the Biggest Dunk Contest Ever | Dunk Talk #72
Haven't done a podcast in a while, so this one is just me catching you guys up on the past year of dunking. It's been all over the place. Good stretches last summer with contests I actually won, then October hit and I dealt with an ankle thing and then something deep in the patellar tendon in my left knee that took months out of my year. For a long stretch I was going to the gym on Saturdays to dunk on 8 feet off my right plant and bench, which was about as fun as it sounds. Things turned around around late April. Tested a 42 inch vertical, got back to two jump sessions a week, hit my first Off-Dribble 360 Eastbay and got an Underboth back for the first time since February 2025, then had a day where I hit six new dunks. I also get into the training side with Tom Barnes and Austin Young at JumpX, since I basically never talk about it. Then media day in Atlanta and Dunk Camp in Utah, where I finally got a Windmill elbow off a hand-off. First event of the biggest dunk contest ever is in just a few days, 24 guys going for 500,000, so please go support it. Trying to get at least one guest a week on the show from here on out, so if you're a dunker and want to be on, message me, and drop guest requests in the comments.
