You’re tall, yet clumsy. Agile, yet unable to jump over a phone book. Does this describe you? Good, let me give you a brief tutorial in how to win a jump ball.

1) As you step to the circle, free your shoes of dirt and debris
2) Next, look your opponent in the eye.
3) Bend your knees in preparation for glory
4) When the ball reaches its apex, shove your opponent to the ground
5) Retrieve ball for possession

Congratulations!
