Nba question?
All the guys I knew in high school who were under 6'2" and could dunk did a lot of leg press in the weight room. Standing squats can be hard on your knees and back but inverted leg press where you are sitting down and pushing the weight up into the air with your feet is a great exercise for jumping ability. You can isolate work your calves on that exercise too. It sounds obvious, but you'll get better at jumping by jumping. Practice jumping quickly and exploding up with each jump to build your jumping strength. Put all the work in now so you can be dunking in games next season. My big regret in high school was that I didn't put the work in on the leg press to get to "dunking status".
