The emcee's voice snapped Ryan back to the moment. "These four are about to DEFY GRAVITY! Who's walking away with the crown?"
The crowd roared, ready for the show, as the dunkers warmed up, each eyeing the rim like it was their destiny.
The ABA Slam Dunk Contest followed the same format as the one in Ryan's world—the NBA. It was a two-round showdown: prelims and finals.
In each round, every contestant had two dunk attempts, with up to three tries allowed per dunk. The top two scorers from the first round would advance to the final. There, the highest combined score from two dunks would determine the champion.
If there was a tie, a tiebreaker round would be held—dunk for dunk—until a winner emerged.
The Zentron Celestial Arena pulsed with anticipation as the slam dunk contest kicked into gear.
The emcee, his voice a thunderclap, hyped the crowd. "Vega City, let's get this party started! First up—Jeremiah Knox from the Orvara Eclipse !"
