Prior to this, female athletes had participated in college student competitions and all-star games, and dunked successfully in practice and warm-up. It was not until August 3rd, 2002 that lisa leslie of LA Sparks received a wonderful pass from teammate Bayer after dribbling and dunking that he expanded this field to professional league. Before lisa leslie's success, many female athletes, including herself, had tried: the first female athlete who successfully dunked in a college league was Johen Wells. 1984, she successfully dunked twice on the team of West Virginia University. Later, Charlotte Smith and Michelle Si Nuo were deducted three times in 1994. But the glory of professional competition finally chose lisa leslie.

Generally speaking, the reason why women can't dunk is that their palms are too small, but the circumference of WNBA ball is one inch smaller than that of men. In fact, as early as 18 years ago, college women's basketball players dunked successfully, and then two others dunked successfully in college competitions. 1998, the now extinct ABL even held a dunk contest, and a player named Crowley was blindfolded. Lisa leslie thinks that women's physical fitness is not as good as men's, and they score by cooperation in the competition, but it is much easier to dunk in training. Now that she has deducted the first one, the psychological barrier has been eliminated, and more and more people will dunk in WNBA.

The history that women can't dunk in professional competitions is over. Who will be next? Charlotte Smith and Michelle Si Nuo, two college dunks, played for Charlotte Needles and Houston Comets, respectively, while Crowley, who once performed blindfolded dunks in ABL, played for Portland Flames, and he had a chance to dunk whenever the time was right. Kyle DeDeDeKe, Czech center of San Antonio Silver Stars, is 2m tall, 18. She should be right behind. Lisa leslie said, "She is closest to the basket."

According to historical records, in fact, Miller Cheryl (American, height 1.9 1m, striker) became the first female dunker in the 10 World Basketball Championship in 1986.
