pos: Slam dunk cornerstone of dunk contests, dunks from a distance are also performed in games, most often on the fast break. In the 1950s, Jim Pollard and Wilt Chamberlain had both dunked from the free throw line—15 feet from the basket. Chamberlain was able to dunk from the free-throw line without a running start, beginning his forward movement from within the top half of the free-throw circle. This was the catalyst for the 1956 NCAA rule change which requires that a shooter maintain both feet behind the line during a free-throw attempt. In the 1976 ABA Slam Dunk Contest, Julius Erving dunked

These players are usually the ones that rebound the ball. Three line up on each side. A defensive player always takes the place closest to the basket.
