Why do nba players hit the top of their head when after they dunk a basketball?

It means “On your head top”

Tbh I'm not 100% sure. When I played ball, that was to signal to coach "I'm tired!, take me out the game coach".
But that's obviously not the case now.

On that Lively dunk, if that's what you're referring to, it's one of those new things kids do to say 'dunked over you'.

I always thought it was the opposite of the “too small” gesture but just a guess

Kind of like he's showing he got over, or dunked over, his head. They show it in slow mo at the end of this video.
Jordan could do it with guys trying to pull him down.

This makes the most sense to me.

When you're waterskiing it means "I'm ok" after a fall.
