windmill dunk

Arm-circling basketball score

A windmill dunk is a basketball move where the player swings the ball in a full circular arc—like a windmill's blade—before slamming it through the hoop.

The motion adds flair to what could be a straightforward dunk, making it a staple of slam dunk contests and highlight reels: He brought the crowd to its feet with a one-handed windmill dunk.
