In this episode of the Dunk Talk podcast, Dylan Haugen chats with Adam, an exchange student from Taiwan, about his journey into the world of dunking. Adam shares how he went from barely touching the rim to performing 360s, 2 handers, and even windmills—all within just nine months. They discuss his experiences with the JumpMaster X coaching service, the difference in basketball culture between Taiwan and the U.S., and the key factors that led to his vertical jump improvements. Adam also reflects on his time in America, the challenges he faced, and the lessons he's learned that will shape his future. Tune in for an inspiring story of persistence, growth, and cultural exchange!
