Kobe Paras Defends His Crown as the Slam Dunk King

Kobe Paras victoriously defended his crown as the Slam Dunk king at the FIBA 3×3 U18 World Championships 2015 in Hungary.

It was a tough challenge as contender, Jalek Felton, got 29 out of 30 points from his final dunk. Kobe Paras needed a perfect score of 30 points to win the contest; but Paras was able to convince the judges as well as the crowd with a reverse two-handed jam after grabbing the ball and jumping over teammate Ricci Rivero.

Meanwhile, the Philippine team bows out of the competition as they finished fifth in Pool A. Only the top four teams advanced to the next round.
