The Battle for the Soul of Dunking & Sixers Woes with Philadelphia Inquirer Columnist Mike Sielski

from Hoopsology · host Ballislife, Inc.

In this episode of Hoopsology, Justin Godrum and Matt Thomas sit down with Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and author of Magic in the Air: The Myth, the Mystery, and the Soul of the Slam Dunk, Mike Sielski. Mike breaks down why dunking isn’t as dominant as it used to be, the history behind the dunk, and how the NBA’s evolution has changed one of basketball’s most exciting plays. We also dig into the Philadelphia 76ers’ struggles this season—what’s going wrong, who’s responsible, and where the team goes from here. Hoopsology is presented by Ballislife.
