El Chisme

Everything these days is a slam. It's to the point that the word has almost no meaning any more. All of it's weight and gravity have been lost and diluted through it's excessive usage by main steam media. It used to be that you could identify a slam pretty easily, we had significant cultural markers that illustrated precisely what a slam was. Through the 90s Michael Jordan was the slam king, which peaked with the pure cinema classic, Space Jam, and the climactic full court dunk against the Monstars. Slama-jama. Another significant moment illustrating the pure power a slam should evoke, came in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table. Now that's what I call, slam. Today you express even the most milk toast and expected opinion, and that constitutes a slam. The bar is to low. This is why Space Jam 2 performed so horribly. Nobody knows what a slam is anymore.
