Shep dared Nutso to do a jump and hit the backboard of the basketball hoop, although Nutso was reluctant Shep convinced to do it anyway. However after Nutso hit the backboard, it broke and Nutso fell off the building to his death. As a result, Shep was arrested and quit playing basketball, feeling guilty for causing the death of his best friend..the newspaper said he was arrested

The dream at the beginning was a nightmare metaphor about Shep getting high and peer pressuring Nutso to follow his lead. It's not a literal flashback to what had happened in the past. Birdie exposed this at the beginning "This ain't Nutso! This ain't that dopehead on the roof taking orders from you!". Nutso, Shep, Flip and probably many more players were getting high, much like the NBA at that time, and not understanding the consequences. Hell, just look at stories like Len Bias or Earl Manigault. Flip turned out to be a homeless drug addict, Nutso died, Shep lost his career and his mind. Hence, the dreams.

I think Shepherds ability to play well after years was that a part his spirit may have been shut down that connected him to basketball but when he touched the ball it made him come outward and revived his spirit because found purpuse for the first time and pushed self to give apart his abilities to help someone else in need even though he may felt that he didn't owe anything to a place that let him down.He didn't know he could make difference even though may have felt robbed of his past.
