How to play the Slam Dunk Contest winners timeline
Each card is a player who won the Slam Dunk Contest, and his team at the time sits under the name. You put them in order of the year each one first took the title. A single winner starts on the line with the year visible. Choose a gap for every card that follows. Land it and the year appears; miss and the player moves to his real slot and you drop one of three lives.
The contest began in the old ABA, then returned at All-Star weekend and has run most years since, with a few gaps. Some winners became superstars and others are remembered for one night, so fame is a weak guide. Teams repeat often, and many winners were rookies or young players, so the team line tells you where a career started rather than where it ended up. The recent winners are packed close together.
