The slam dunk is done in basketball. It is where a player slams a ball through the basketball hoop (thus, a slam dunk). No other sport has this.
While it's difficult to provide an exact number, most players in the NBA possess the athleticism and skill to dunk. Typically, any player over 6 feet tall, especially those who are guards or forwards, can dunk, while some shorter players can also do so with impressive vertical leaps. Given that there are 30 teams with rosters of 15 players each, it's reasonable to estimate that a significant majority, if not all, of the players have the capability to dunk in-game or during warm-ups.
What determines the amount of horizontal and vertical distance a basketball player travels while making a slam dunk is momentum. The players weight and velocity combine to carry momentum as he jumps, soars, and lands.
NBA players are allowed to hang on the rim for a brief moment after a dunk, typically up to a few seconds. However, doing so excessively can result in a technical foul. The league emphasizes player safety and encourages players to avoid hanging on the rim for too long to prevent potential injuries or interference with the game. Generally, players tend to let go of the rim quickly to avoid any penalties.
