I am 6' and in high school I could dunk. I added 8 inches to my jump by simply doing this:

For 3 months I stood beside a wall (with my side facing the wall)outside and just kept jumping up as high as i could and tapping the wall with my hand. I switched hands every so many jumps. I would do this for as long as I could once or twice a day.

I learned this from a local basketball star named Galen Bickle, he was in Sports Ill. for scoring 100 points in a game.

My standing vertical jump went from 31" to 39" and I was dunking my senior year. The girls loved it!!

Hope this helps
