4. Transfer 360

We had to include a variation of the 360 dunk. It’s an iconic dunk that only a select few can pull off. However, it’s basic in terms of flashiness. The ball doesn’t leave your hands and there is no assistance via a teammate or prop. Past participants have gotten high scores utilizing this dunk in the contest, but it’s 2016 and it’s time for fresh options from the participants.

The transfer 360 dunk is a modified 360 with aerodynamics as the player tips the ball to himself in mid-air and finishes the dunk via the right hand.

This would only articulate LaVine’s bounce and hand-eye coordination while in the air. It’s another creative dunk that would be unique to what the field would bring. He’d have to finish it the first time, as fans would know what to expect and a failed first attempt, but the transfer 360 could get LaVine a perfect score no matter how many times it takes to complete it.

He could open with it or use it as his finishing dunk. The options for LaVine are in fact endless when it comes to using a 360. This is just one of the many, but packs a lot of steps necessary to execute due to its difficulty.
