"Slam dunk" is from the sport of basketball. It's when a player jumps up and throws the ball down hard through the hoop, only letting go once the ball is through. A score is assured, unlike in a normal shot where you have to aim from at least a little distance. So, a figurative slam dunk is a guaranteed positive outcome.

It's hard to say what a big one is here without further information
