The most important thing to find out is how much do you weigh? If you are 6'2" and 350lbs you will never touch the rim, i would suggest a change in sports.
I am 6'5" and i was able to dunk my sophomore year of High School. I was never able to dunk in a game but I could get my my arm almost up to my elbow above the rim.....but enough about me.
if you were not bless with the leaping genetics then you really half to work at it.
The calf is the most important musscle for jumping (especially the layup style dunk - jump off of one leg). Get a 2 by 4 and lay it on the ground and do calf lifts. Put your toes on top of the board and you heal of the ground and just raise your heals off the ground as high as you can - leaving your toes on the board. Do both feet at the same time then move on to doing one foot raises as you get stronger. Do as many as you can a night).
Jump rope - do lots and lots of jump roping mixing up the quick jumps with slower high jumps.
find some way to do squats
Good luck.
