If occupying the air leads to domination of a game, the Takamatsu Five Arrows have a better advantage, because they excel at making the easiest shots — dunks — more than every other bj-league team.

The Shikoku club leads the league in the number of dunks with 153 (through March 9), 63 more than the Ryukyu Golden Kings, who are second with 90.

The Five Arrows' aerial show is mainly orchestrated by their three fan-loving Americans — forward Reggie Warren, center George Leach and guard Rasheed Sparks — and with that super-athletic trio on the floor, their game becomes as spectacular as it can be.
