Basketball history has witnessed many miracles. Several unusual events have occurred, which were never anticipated. Basketball has always been among the most popular games in United States of America. The National Basketball Association conducts matches of different teams which have a lot of live and TV spectators from all around the world. The Slam Dunk competition has gained a lot of popularity among basketball lovers in the recent years. The game is said to be easy for the people who are taller, it is considered that the taller the player is the softer it gets for him to win the contest. A famous name in Basketball proved this thing to be wrong and that living legend is Spud Webb. He won the contest twenty four years ago after beating an opponent who was more than a foot taller than him. He is only five and a half feet tall. He had great athleticism. Last night the Slam Dunk competition took place. It was judged by respected Spud Webb. He was made the judge as he has been a former winner and has got great knowledge about the sport. The contest was won by his student Nate Robinson. He is also not a tall guy. He started getting trained by Spud Webb four years ago. Since then he has won the competition three times. The success of the student shows the mastery of Spud Webb over the game. He has had a successful National Basketball Association career and now has turned out to be a good coach as well.
