NBA - Main

A lot of people on here pointing out the pull-up etc. But you watch that video and he dunks and is moving forward. Players walking behind him. He swings back from that forward movement and on that swing back, picks up his legs and pulls himself up slightly to center and drop. Any more than that and sure toss a T if you have to. But to me that doesn’t seem excessive. There wasn’t an extra swing, or like a pull up of his head over the rim or anything like that, and from a time perspective he got off as soon as he safely could tell from up there I’m sure.

Feel like the Tatum one was very similar. When you go up and people are under you on the forward swing, all you can do is swing back and check again and the safest dismount is to drop. You can slow and center yourself with a quick pull up of the arms like here or you can try and lock / tense your arms a bit to slow you down too to safely drop. The pull up, in my experience, is easier and gets you off slightly faster.
