Taurjian J. Fontenette a.k.a. “Air Up There”.

Classe 1983, 188cm per 84kg.

Nato a Hitchcock in Texas, Taurian è praticamente l’uomo che sapeva volare.

Diventa famoso inizialmente per le sue giocate schiacciate, gioca più spesso oltre il ferro che coi piedi per terra. La fama vera e propria la ottiene quando su SportsCenter, in onda su  ESPN mandano il videoclip di una sua schiacciata in . Ovvero un avvitamento dopo il salto per andare a schiacciare. Pensate alle difficoltà di coordinazione ed elevazione che rendono la schiacciata a  gradi una delle più difficili da eseguire, Taurian la effettuava in 720...

Il  è sempre stata roba da poco per lui, che si è dilettato per parecchio tempo inserendo un cambio di mano sotto le gambe per la sua rivisitatissima versione personale.

1 metro e 88 di dinamite nelle gambe. Mulinelli, schiacciate dopo aver afferrato un alley oop scagliato ad altezze impensabili per molti giocatori o anche solo semplicemente salti in cui sembrava fosse roba semplice arrivare con la fronte ad altezza ferro, riassumono perfettamente l’alto contenuto di spettacolo che questo giocatore permetteva di ammirare durante le sue partite.

Mr.720 è considerato ancora oggi uno degli schiacciatori migliori di sempre, e noi non fatichiamo molto a crederlo!!

Scenes from the first dunk contest at the 1976 ABA All-Star Game in Denver. Featuring Julius Erving, David Thompson, George Gervin, Larry Kenon, and Artis Gilmore.

This was far from the dunk contest we’ve come to know in 2020. The contest happened during half-time of the All-Star Game. It was one round and each player was given two minutes to perform five different dunks. The judges awarded points for artistic ability, imagination, body flow, and, most importantly, fan response.

Per the rules, one dunk was to be performed standing under the basket, one taking off 10 feet from the basket, one from the right side of the basket, one from the left, and one from either of the baseline corners.

Predictably, the contest came down to Dr. J and Skywalker - the ABA’s two biggest stars. You would’ve thought Thompson was a shoe-in to win the contest, being that he played for the Denver Nuggets. His 360 dunk, the first time such a dunk had ever been recorded, should have been the exclamation point on a historic win.

However Erving stole the show and big-brothered Thompson with this legendary free throw line slam.

The build up was part of the show. Dr. J walked up to the free throw line, then slowly started walking his way across the court with very measured strides between each step. The crowd began feeling tense with anticipation. Then, after a running start, Erving lifts off one leg from the free throw line.

The aesthetic was the ABA at its finest, and arguably the league’s apex: The Doctor’s legendary hang time, the trademark red, white, and blue basketball outstretched and firmly in his grasp, and the wind blowing his majestic afro back as he slams the ball through the basket.

The Doctor blew the roof off the sold out arena and drew the biggest cheers of the night. And not just from the fans, but the players and judges too.

The All-Star Game wasn’t televised nationally, but word of the first ever dunk contest made headlines nationwide. While the eventual merger was in reach before, the contest certainly moved talks along.

The NBA would later adopt the contest themselves in 1984.
