The "Dunker" Spot is an area along the baseline just outside of the lane but not quite in the short corner.
It is typically filled by post players or non-shooters to create space for dribble drives. If the defender guarding the dunker helps off on the drive, it is an easy drop off & finish.
Occupying the dunker allows you to keep great spacing, while putting your space eaters in effective position to finish or offensive rebound.

The dunker spot is a very underappriciated part of most offenses. As a person who is a power forward and small forward (meaning I play wing and dunker) it is very important.

I grew up during the 90s naturally gravitating toward the "dunker spot." There was no name for it then and I only have heard this expression used just recently. Whether it was recess or playing on my YMCA league as a teen I would always hang around the rim for those layups. I could never dunk but jumped high enough to do the up & under finish or double pump layup. I am so glad that there is a term coined for this type of offensive role.

It was called half man back then

Bro, thanks. I keep hearing this term and basketball isn't the main sport I follow anymore since we had our team stolen so had no idea what people were talking about. This video is perfect. Straight to the point and tons of great examples.

Joe Mazz was like 'what if a put a wing in the dunker spot?'

@hooperuniversity Месяц назад

And Mike Budenholzer before him... used it to change the help and prevent teams from "walling up" Giannis.

I have a question. Doesnt putting ur big at the dunker spot just makes it easier for the opposing big to help off your drive?

@mattyoc3 8 месяцев назад

Somewhat. But if you keep your big very low, with heels on the baseline then the help will be late on the drive. If you lift too high from the dunker spot and end up near the block then yes the opposing big will be in a much better help position. There’s tradeoffs to everything but if you have a non-shooting big then there’s no point in putting them on the perimeter anyway because they’re useless out there and the opposing big isn’t going to guard them out there anyway.

@@mattyoc3thats a good point! Are there other spots you can put your non shooting big to not clog the paint?
