Bringing Polish Hops to America

By Piotr Zawiślak · Professional dunker, Poland

Dunking’s center of gravity is the United States — the events, the audience, the sponsors. I built my game in Poland. The next chapter is closing that distance.

At The Dunk Camp 2026 I finally stood in the same gym as the dunkers I’d watched on a screen for years. It made one thing obvious: the talent was never my problem. Proximity was. So here’s the plan, out in the open.

Four cities

I want to spend real time in the cities where this sport actually happens — training, filming, and competing with the best:

Los Angeles
Content + creators
Dallas
Dunk scene + events
Las Vegas
Shows + contests
Miami
Brands + collabs

How it actually gets funded

I’ll be honest: I don’t have the cash to base myself in the U.S. on my own. What I do have is a credential almost nobody can match — the Black Band, one of 13 in the world — and a sport that’s exploding online. The way you turn the first into the second is the same playbook the top dunkers already use:

Build a real home base. Document the proof. Earn the sponsorships and the audience that pay for the plane ticket.

That’s exactly what this site and this team are for. Every dunk I post, every interview I release, every brand I partner with is a step toward making the move real — and toward giving a sponsor a reason to come along.

If you want in

Brands looking for an authentic, top-tier athlete with a great story; event organizers who want a real show; and dunkers who want to link up when I land — this is home base. Follow the journey on Instagram and TikTok, and watch it happen in real time.
