A layup in basketball is a two point attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up near the basket, and using one hand to tip the ball over the rim and into the basket (layin) or to bank it off the backboard and into the basket (layup). The motion and one-handed reach distinguish it from a jump shot.
A slam dunk (or simply a dunk) is a type of basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air and manually powers the ball downward through the basket with one or both of his hands. This is a standard field goal worth two points. There is one component required for this particular "field goal" to be classified as a "dunk": 1) the ball must be thrown into the basketball net in a downward motion where both the ball and player's hand(s) are both above the basketball rim.

You can't make an issue without sense and your statements have no sense to them because you don't even have the rudimentary knowledge to comprehend what you are quoting. Force does not apply to touching or contact.
If I thrust a ball at your head through a window without touching the window would you understand how the ball was thrust though the window by the force of my hand? or would the jar to the head help?

So, Howard's Superman "dunk" is a dunk. That said, it was not very pretty.

Don't worry Jay, I just learned it like last year.
Dwight's 3rd dunk was the tapper which was sick as sh*t and very underrated.
That 1st dunk put Iggy's dunk to shame though, HIS HEAD IS BEHIND THE F*CKING BACKBOARD!!

I understand Raptors wanting Moon to win because he's on their team, but why do the Celtics fans still lean towards Gerald Green? He's garbage.
