Now, Markos Ketikidis.

Ketikidis dribbles down the baseline from the left corner. He rises up, puts the ball thru his legs from left to right, then throws down the wicked one-handed slam. Oh my!

Yes, he did it again!...a 50! Ketikidis has 100 points and has taken the lead!

Now Hershcel Barry for his second dunk.

Barry stands just outside the three-point line, lobs a high arching pass, grab it off the bounce just under the rim, then delivers a nasty one-handed windmill jam.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aIFRJzHhs8)

And the judges score: a 39, giving Barry a total of 87.

Final first round dunks coming up...

Mastrangelo goes first...trying to make up some ground and he's got a trick up his sleeve. He is going to need some extra hops for this dunk. He pumps up the air in his shoes, then throws a high arching pass from one side of the hoop, catches it off the bounce on the other side with his back to the rim, and throws down a tremendous two-handed slam.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqxaGNbTIOk)

The Judges were impressed, giving him a 43...and 127 for the round.

Sergio Rupérez is back up now.

Rupérez tosses the ball high in the air, leaps, grabs the ball on the way to the rim, hangs in mid-air as he passes the ball through his legs, then throws down the incredible slam dunk. Is it enough to put him though to the second round?

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj4W8tGu4bg)

Something was off with that dunk for the judges...the give it a 39....and Rupérez has 120.

Dave Roach is ready to go.

Roach throws a hard bounce pass toward the rim, the ball caroms off the backboard, and he grabs the rebound with one hand then throws it back down.


Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQKQa9k1UiQ)

But the judges give it a 35....hmmm. That gives Roach 132 for the round and he's in second place.

Now, Markos Ketikidis.

Ketikidis throws a high arching lob, races to meet it on the bounce, grabs the ball out of the air, cocks his arm back all the way to his trailing ankles, then throws down with ferocity.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE_l2Yjr1N8)

And the Judges score the dunk a 42...which gives Markos 142 and the lead.

And finally, Herchel Barry's last dunk:

Barry sets up on the baseline. He tosses the ball at the side of the backboard, somehow gets the ball to come off cleanly, grabs the rebound with one hand, and in one motion, throws down a monster slam.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs1wbmpuBk8)


And the judges give this one a 37... 124 for the round....not enough to advance and our final is set.

It's Roach vs. Ketikidis!

AND NOW THE FINALS.....

For his first finals dunk, Markos Ketikidis is having Mitch Holloway help him again. Holloway throws the ball from behind the backboard. As Ketikidis rises up, he grabs the rebound, and flies under the backboard and somehow gets the incredible jam to go down.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsFe28g9CVM)

And the judges are duly impressed: It's a 50!
