Was Julius' signature slam dunk taken from a standing position near the hoop?

  • Yes

  • No, it was taken from several feet away

  • It was taken from the middle of the court

  • It was taken from the three-point line

Answer

No, Julius' signature slam dunk was not taken from a standing position near the hoop. In fact, it was taken from several feet away. This was done in order to give Julius more time to build up speed and power, and to allow him to jump higher. The result was a dunk that was both impressive and memorable.
