During the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany, United States basketball player Joe Fortenberry leaped into the air and stuffed the ball through the hoop. It was the slam dunk that introduced the shot to the professional game. But slam dunks didn't become popular until years later. Today they are one of the most exciting plays in basketball.



Read about the history of the famous shot, the most memorable plays, and the top dunkers. Take a look at how superstars complete the iconic shot, and learn how game rules and equipment have changed since jams gained popularity.
