Well, hopefully you have "hops".

Here are some tips I followed before I was able to dunk comfortably.

1.) Have some sort of "jump training".

I hate jump training, and my way to avoid it, was to play volleyball in the fall, before basketball season. By constantly jumping, I naturally strengthened my legs. Even now, I am 6'5", and after not playing for a long time, I can still get up there. Jump. Jump lots.

2.) Practice gripping the ball.

Seems simple, but if you can palm the ball, you've got a huge advantage. Some people say to spray hairspray on the ball, or your hand, and practice holding it. Apparently you can stretch your hand out a bit, giving you a slight advantage. Every bit helps.

3.) Practice off one-foot, and off two feet and determine which is most comfortable.

After a while, you can do it either way, but each person struggles differently.

4.) Do NOT grab the rim.

You faceplant, your confidence is gone. By grabbing the rim, you're taking a large risk. Very rarely do I grab the rim when I dunk, to ensure it's as clean as possible.

Good luck, and I hope any of this was helpful.
