Slam Dunk Contest in the NBA: My Dream of Flying. But unfortunately the NBA's dunk competition is now just a tragedy - because the best basketball players no longer dare to do it.
For decades, especially during the 1990s and 2000s when the sport became global, an athlete flying through the air was the clear symbol of basketball. This time is over. Every year fewer and fewer people care about the Slam Dunk Contest. Competition in three-point throws is now much more important. The dream of flying has been replaced by a dream that is actually worth dreaming.
