The mechanics are simple, run to the hoop, use one of the new hanging basket dunk positions mentioned above, but hold down the sprint trigger when the player’s hand touches the rim.

As long as you hold down, you can hang indefinitely, and you can adjust how much you swing your body with the left stick and pull yourself up to the hoop with the right stick. It’s one of the most fun things to do in Basketball City (next-gen only), but watch out for technical fouls if you hang on to an NBA game for too long.
