Jalen Green 360 Dunk Biomechanics & Flight Lab L = I · ω

Projectile trajectory & angular momentum conservation of high-flying NBA dunk execution
T: 0.00s | ω: 0.0 rad/s | I: 1.25 kg·m²
Biomechanical Principle: Mid-air angular velocity (ω) is inversely proportional to moment of inertia ($I$). When Jalen tucks his limbs tight during the mid-flight window, $I$ drops from ~1.25 to ~0.55 kg·m², causing rotation speed to surge and allowing a complete 360° rotation before extending for a 10-foot rim flush.
