Some of the most entertaining players in the NBA share one common feature, top tier athleticism. From LeBron and his signature fast break slam to Blake Griffin and his knack for putting defenders on a poster, many players gain recognition and eventual popularity because of their jaw dropping explosiveness.
Unfortunately, few people in this world are gifted with that type of natural ability. Most will never be able to dunk at all, much less partake in the in-air acrobatics exhibited by the aforementioned players. Though maybe not to this extent, there are means for players to increase their vertical leaping ability – particularly lifting weights and participating in box drills.
