Default What Else To Use Your Hops For Besides Dunking

I know that we all want to dunk and some of us want vertical leap like AUT or Kadour but what can you guys use your vertical for?

Because I have a great vertical and all but I don't want to be just known as a dunker.

I got to say for most people here the main purpose of high vert is to dunk and show off, am I right?

i think humble is talkin about basketball, well on defense it helps u get more boards and alter or block shots, it also helps ure jumpshot cuz u got higher elevation, and wen ure drivin it helps cuz u got more hangtime so theres mroe time to release the shot... there are alot of other intangibles like interceptin passes and stuff, also increasin ure vert will also make u faster,quicker and more explosive wen goin to the rim
