Dunk. Slam Dunk. Slam. Jam. Slamma-jamma. Cram. Stuff. Throw down. Posterize. Boom-shak-a-lacka. Then there's the windmill, tomahawk, double-clutch, rock-the-baby, 360, alley-oop, and behind-the-head. People who have dunked are said to have the hops, to have skyed, flown, walked on air, climbed the ladder, gotten up and gotten sick with it. They've had air time, hang time and given someone a facial.
Home run. Homer. Tater. Four-bagger. Slam. Blast. Park it. Go yard. Touch-em-all. Take it downtown. Dinger. Long ball. Big fly. Bomb. Gopher. Money ball. Circuit clout. Crack. Moon shot. Round-tripper. Seat boomer. Tong. Tonk. Downtowner. Dial eight. Bash. Fence buster.
Have I missed any? Have you made up any that you're particularly proud of? Which has the most and the most colorful synonyms--the dunk or the home run? Let me know. Talk to me.

Hey Mike just wanted to wish you good luck on your quest to dunk. I'm glad you've decided to go ahead with this even at your age. I have also decided to train in hopes of one day dunking the ball. Best of luck to you and I believe you can do it.
