Dunkers With 690,000 Followers on Why Your Dunks Get No Views | Dunk Talk #76 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I'm Dylan Haugen, and I flew out to North Carolina to link up with Travis Reynolds and Ben Hopkins, so we sat down and talked about the thing basically every dunker runs into at some point: you can throw down a crazy dunk, post it raw, and get 500 views. Between the three of us we've got around 690,000 followers across platforms. This episode is how we actually got them.Travis's whole approach is volume and trends.

Travis Reynolds and I went through every single dunk from all four group stages of Shaq's DunkMan League, which is the first ever professional dunking league. 24 guys, four groups of six, and the winner of the finals takes home $500,000, which is the biggest prize in dunk history.

Jeremiah Walker is a 20 year old professional dunker from London, and this year has been crazy for him with events all over the world. He grew up playing soccer until he was eight, figured out he was terrible at it, and got into basketball because a friend told him he was tall.

Read excerpt

Good stretches last summer with contests I actually won, then October hit and I dealt with an ankle thing and then something deep in the patellar tendon in my left knee that took months out of my year. For a long stretch I was going to the gym on Saturdays to dunk on 8 feet off my right plant and bench, which was about as fun as it sounds. Things turned around
