Below I posted final’s photos:











Inside the event, riding the American tradition, was the slum dunk contest. It was really a very nice “sport's show” where a player from each team was able to show his quality, like the most famous nba players . They entertained the audience as the real stars. The winner was Pierfrancesco Oliva, a Virtus Siena's player, like show below:



I hope this article has been to your liking. I think it's really a great experience, especially for those who love sports like me. You can admire the work of the "stars of the future".


The show is totally free.


Have a good time


With love
