Magic In The Air by Mike Sielski
The Myth, the Mystery, and the Soul of the Slam Dunk
Mike Sielski traces the history of the slam dunk and its influence on basketball and American social change. He shows how the dunk helped shift the sport from white control to a Black man's game and became an expression of Black culture during the civil rights era. After a nearly decade-long college ban the dunk reemerged through stars from Julius Erving to Michael Jordan and helped grow the NBA into a global league.
