ENDING THE DEBATE: One Foot Vs Two Foot Jumpers

Is it better to jump or one or two feet? The question that has been debated for ages. I decided to look into this in the context of sports specific performance, using the NBA as my sport of choice. How to the most elite nba players in the world jump? We’ve definitely seen both techniques but which is more common and more importantly, which is more effective?

[@franciscoscuseria3840]

1foot to fastbreak 2foot for traffic Thats it

[@daceydunks]

Two foot is better when it comes to doing trick dunks

[@JiggyHills]

that’s a fair point. I think I probably agree with that tbh.

[@ipwnukazu]

idk why I can dunk off 1 but cant even dunk off two but my two doesnt seem bad without the ball

[@heftyboi7446]

Same

[@wntrssldr]

you can reach higher w one arm up when jumping one foot

[@JiggyHills]

Just remember, dunking is a skill. You might have the jump height but might need to practice dunking off two more often. Maybe try some low rim dunking and gradually increase it.

[@Cinnamonroll521]

How?

[@ThePrimePanther]

@@Cinnamonroll521 heavy into statistics, good storytelling for an informational video and serious tone

[@danielholland8731]

Every situation calls for variation

[@proverbalizer]

I'm glad you came to the obvios rigtt answer. It's like being able to hit a lay-up with either hand....or being able to pull up and drop the j or penetrate and and get to the rim....if you limit the tools in your arsenal your game is more predictable and you are easier to guuard

[@proverbalizer]

more "posterization" off 2 foot dunks cause one foot is more naturally suited for a fast break where there's no-one to poserize. It's better with a longer running start and more speed, whereas if you only have 2 or 3 run up steps 2 feet is naturally more easy

[@versatillion15]

Completely wrong. If you’re naturally a 1 foot jumper then even if you have only 2 or 3 steps to take the 1 foot jump will always be easier for you. & there’s more posters off 2 because it’s easier to control your body, it has nothing to do with fast breaks

[@proverbalizer]

@@versatillion15 analyze the ratio of 1 foot vs 2 for dunks on fast breaks, and analyze the ratio of one foot vs 2 foot dunks in the half court game.... Sorry, but you are completely wrong for calling me completely wrong 🤣

[@SHD69]

bro's got the high quality vid! :D

[@ld7096]

Nice video bro ❤

[@christianhess2983]

bro great vid plus the editing is actually tufff

[@JiggyHills]

Appreciate you, my guy 🤞🏾

[@sean-zu6rw]

I like the ending so imma drop a like

[@chefboyrgee4142]

I think form/footwork has to be considered as a 3rd factor to vertical jump

[@JiggyHills]

Absolutely agree

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

The truth is that with rare exceptions,ball great two foot jumpers are also great one foot jumpers. They just choose to go off two feet in a crowd because it is quicker and less predictable. Michael Jordan is a great example. Zach Lavine is also a great two foot jumper, as is Kobe Bryant and Scottie Pippen and Blake Griffin. One foot posters are less rare because defenders see it coming and get out of the way before it happens. And when they get caught, the offensive player normally pushes off, like Rui Hachimura on Anthony Davis. Most of the time,these confrontations don't take place because the defender can really hurt the running player.

[@sinelruns]

What's the first sound you used (great video btw)

[@cameronferguson4067]

While I agree that being able to jump well with both methods (1 foot and 2 foot) is ideal, I do think it’d be interesting for you to analyze dunkers who tend to favor one jump technique over another. Donavan Mitchell comes to mind as somebody who almost exclusively (at least in the clips I’ve seen) tends to dunk off two. And, in the rare instances where I have seen him go off one foot, I think I’ve only seen him do like rim grazer drop-ins and light dunks, nothing super explosive off 1.

[@4ktaz]

I’m definitely jumping with you 4:35 and I’m blocking your shot or dunking on you. 💀🏀

[@spygaming4253]

What the fuck did I just watch Christopher Nolan would be proud

[@shishaplay]

What your standing reach, say please 🙏

[@shawn-8077]

only benefit of 1 foot is the quick take off. 2 foot beats 1 foot every other time due to being flashy, more powerful and more controlled

[@nazeemfonemgaddafi]

As a teenager I was both but as I got heavier and stronger I became a two foot jumper

[@user-lp2yy4iu3s]

I think for just purely dunking/jumping high 2 foot is better, it seems like it has more power. But I've noticed that people who jump off 1 foot tend to have more athleticism in other areas like speed/agility.

[@JiggyHills]

One foot jumping is extremely speed dependant because of the shorter ground contact time.

[@Maize_Shorts]

I can do it better with 2 feet even if I have momentum. Idk why it just feels more natural and easier to get momentum up vs forward

[@demarcus02]

genius

[@josh08125]

this guy funny asl. im subbing. please dont disappoint me dawg😭🙏. I hope u make it big🙏🙏

[@JiggyHills]

I gotchu, my guy dw 🙏🏿. Appreciate the support fr.

[@LuvVaughn]

whats the best for highest jump

[@cameron979]

2 feet

[@JeanCJP]

I’m both but i’m better wit two cuz of surgery

[@davonbenson4361]

Jordan was both.

[@Anthonydu01630]

Trash video, not even funny .. Also Lebron can jump off 2 feet too, he used to do that a lot when he was in his athletic prime in the 2000’s/early 2010’s
