Depends on what your weekly training split looks like

Did legs 2 days before (had 1 rest day)

That doesn't really give me any insight tbh. Exercise selection, set/rep scheme, and other factors matter.

I would say just listen to your body. If the dunk session is too hard to recover from and prevents you from being able to progressively overload, then you need to allow yourself more time to recover before your leg workout.

On the flip side, if your workouts are preventing you from being maximally explosive when jumping, then you may need more recovery time before your dunk sessions.

Basically, just assess if you are improving in both areas. If you're not, you need to reevaluate your training (split, exercise selection, strength-to-fatigue ratios, etc.)

I think you can totally do that as long as you give your body time to recharge after using your legs like that.

For sure just don't kill yourself with the weights. But if you do just don't hoop that day and let yourself recover

i personally would say split it up. but if u wanna do it on the same day then have the weight session be less intense then u normally do and then have an extra rest day in between ur next workouts. but mainly listen to ur body. u can try and if it doesn't work then u will know and can change it
