Extract from the french magazine TRIPLE DOUBLE

Salomon Sami was born the october 21st , 1977, in Dakar, Senegal. He measures 6'3" and knows his subject as well.
As much a dancer as a basketball player, he shines in all areas. He started dance at the age of 6 before later deciding to become a professional basketball player.

He started his basketball career at age 16 in 1992 by playing in tournaments such as Giga the life, Adidas streetball, etc.
" Thanks to his extraordinary physical capacities and his appetite for challenge, Salomon always jumps higher and longer. It's only logical that he has won many dunking contests and accumalated mass victories.

At this time, he is a rising star. This year of game victories and dunking contests (see press article Converse NBA) makes it extremely likely that Salomon will be discovered by vocational training centers.
He left Antibes (South of France) to learn club basketball. This very enriching experience was his entree into professional basketball.

Since then, everything has acclerated. Salomon is still exceeding in club basketball and taking on more victories: Antibes, ASVEL (1st club basketball league in France) where he won the big dunk contest in the French "all star game" in 1999 in Levalloin, Nantes, Brest (tournament at 14.3 of evaluation), etc. The list is long.

During his time in France playing club basketball, he also continues to play regularly on the playgrounds. He also continues to take part in dunking contests. At the time of the Tourcoing contest, which attracted the best French dunkers, the famous "Slam Nation" was created. Naturally, Salomon found his place.

From that date on, he expanded his career as a basketball player to become a member of Slam Nation. Not bad you'll say! But why stop there ? Salomon always wants more.
He envisions traveling to the United States to grow prosperous by adding a new dimension to his career. He is starting to work on the On'n'On team. With them, he is developing his freestyler and showmanship qualities. He continues to love to dance, which has never left him, while also working on many other projects.

He never stops .. A machine? No, surely not. A machine does not possess the humanity, charisma, ambition, and the joy of life that Salomon has. Salomon is indeed human, despite continuing questioning of this fact.
More than a basketball player, a dunker, or a dancer, Salomon is a complete artist whom it is necessary to regard as such. He wants to win and let it be known.
