Soaring basketball over Red Square

June 1 in Moscow on Red Square will be a holiday college basketball "VTB Arena Oren." One of the most interesting moments of his will be a slam-dunk contest.

What do we know about the slam-dunk? According to Wikipedia, slam-dunk - kind of throw in basketball, in which a player jumps up and one or both hands to throw the ball through the ring from the top down. The term "slam dunk" was first used by the commentator, "the Los Angeles Lakers' Chick Hearn. Until then called roll dunk shot. From 1967 to 1976, dunks in the NCAA banned.


We only encourage dunks, and we believe that Wikipedia is not right, and it is the dry and uninteresting definition that you can think of! Slam-dunk is impossible to describe in words, it is impossible to show on your fingers. Slam-dunk need to see with their own eyes, and best of all, "Danchev" itself.
