That's what Slam Nation's all about

Apart from dunking he has no game at all and I also don't really like how he never dribbles but just walks to the basket.

Seems there's a lot of people with the athleticism to be great showmen in terms of basketball, but don't have the right attitude/mindset/"head for the game" for organised competition, especially at the pro level.
Kadour Ziani has always been crazy about sports. At the end of the eighties, he was hit by two viruses: basket-ball and dunking. At the time, the first NBA videotapes arrived in France. The VCR were used to rewind the dunks or put them in slow motion, over and over. "We couldn't believe what we saw," he recalls. And the teachers were great ones: Wilkins, Jordan, Spud Webb, "my biggest inspiration. He showed me you could be short and still do great things." With his friends in the city of St-Dizier, he spends his days and sometimes his nights trying to imitate his new idols. At 16 and a half, he makes his first dunk. "It was an alley-oop pass from my friend Djamel Arabi. A simple dunk but it was a great feeling." Ziani then meets Jeremie Medjana, participates in the famous 1996 Orchies contest before being on the first Slam Nation show in march 1997 in the north of France. Between 1999 and 2002, he's slowed down by injuries and by the fact he's playing professional football as a goalkeeper. He also trains in track and field and makes a bounce at 218cm (7'3'')! Since 2002, Ziani has participated fully in Slam Nation. At 31, he's the second oldest member behind Bamba's 34. Jumps off: one foot
