A World Where Men Fly

#4 The Slam-Dunk Contest!

If you don't know what a dunk in Basketball is, you've been missing one of the great joys of life. If you haven't seen a slam-dunk in your life, you'll thank me after reading this for introducing you to one of the most thrilling phenomena in sports. Without more blabbering, I'll let you watch the video below and decide if I've been exaggerating. Enjoy 4 minutes of ecstasy featuring the King, LeBron James.

And that's why he's the King. If you loved the video, the power game involved in the dunks, I got news for you. Once every year, best of the best in the NBA get together for something called the Slam-Dunk Contest.

For one night, the laws of physics are completely defied and the force of gravity ceases to exist on the court. Creativity is set free and the participants come up with the most thrilling spectacles on the night. It's here that Micheal Jordan got his name "Air Jordan". It's here that Spud Webb, who was only 5'7" shocked the world by winning the competition against all odds.

But wait, there's more! Another equally satiating experience is watching the All-star game when the ballers from different teams come together, and we witness the clash of heavyweights flying inches above the floor all night long. You just can't put to words, the stakes involved when you get to see the likes James Harden, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and LeBron James on the same court together. The game always leaves the viewers either speechless or roaring with joy.
