Basketball: All Star Game 'Celebrity Game', Tamberi puts on a show

 NBA means show, and even Gianmarco Tamberi is pure show: breathtaking dunks, brilliant assists, rebounds, steals, the "five" to his teammates.

    But the play of the match, the very essence of the All Star Celebrity Game that made the Olympic high jump champion's dream come true, materializes a minute and a half before the end of the second quarter, at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, live on the planet, in front of exceptional spectators such as Megan Fox and Dirk Nowitzki on the parquet floor.

Images also relaunched by the NBA's official social profiles, immediately viral on social media all over the world: with exaggerated dynamism and speed of execution like a champion, the yellow and orange fluo shoes on his feet, the number 8 jersey on, Tamberi nails the flying dunk by slinging towards the basket from the weak side after a teammate misses.

And then he celebrates by mimicking the airplane with his arms, applauded by the audience and all the players.

    Loses his team 65-51, Team Dominique coached by former NBA Wilkins (against the VIPs coached by Bill Walton) but that's what matters the least, on this special night.

"I am destroyed, exhausted, but do you realize what a crazy thing it was today? Hallucinating. Dreams come true, dreams come true - comments the gold medalist from Tokyo, who scored double doubles with 15 points and 10 rebounds but above all a contagious enthusiasm on the pitch -.

    Now I'm going to sleep at the end of an evening I'll never forget. "
