The NBA first introduced the Slam Dunk Contest to All-Star Weekend. 3. Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin formed Def Jam Records. Kurtis Blow the hip-hop pioneer released the hit rap song 'Basketball.' 4. The Fresh Fest was the first major hip-hop concert tour in America featuring RUN-DMC, Whodini, Kurtis Blow, the Fat Boys, and Newcleus. 5. Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and signed with Nike to produce the Air Jordan sneakers that became fashion symbols within the hip-hop culture. The late "Jam Master Jay of RUN-DMC was quoted saying, that basketball and hip-hop was the same thing". Visit www.youtube.com/dunkadelictv to see the first 2 episodes on The "Dunkadelic-Era" on Dunkadelic TV, Where basketball and hip-hop come together as one.

Michael Jordan the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball played his last NBA game 5 years ago today on April 16, 2003 vs. Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers. The culture of basketball and hip-hop got its headline title name from the basketball shoe worn by Allen Iverson for the historical last game. Iverson wore the ATR Dunkadelic. Dunkadelic is the basketball/hip-hop cultural term created in 1997 to define the marriage of both cultures. Iverson and Jordan are the 2 Most Influential players over the 25 years of the era. It was symbolic that Iverson would face Jordan for the last game of his career.
