How To Play Basketball Slam Dunk
Take the extra step

One ball, a hoop, a clock
You are not calling a playbook. You are beating the person in front of you.
Contact is part of it
A late jump into their body is a miss, not a foul call you will get.
Short games
You can play again immediately. That is how you learn the release.

Move + steal + shoot
Those three actions are most of the roster.

The shot is a timing bar or a button. Either way, late is a brick.
