Herschel Barry has to follow that one...

Barry has Hyman Hinds on the court for this dunk attempt. Hinds bounces the ball just under the rim, as makes his move to the hoop. HInds dives for cover as Barry leaps over hiim, grabs the ball mid-flight and throws down the dunk.

The judges like it...a 48!

Up for his second dunk now, Gerardo Mastrangelo.

Mastrangelo takes a couple dribbles on the baseline, then rises up, holding the ball above his head....In mid-air, he drops the ball between his legs, then immediately throws it back up to jam home the reverse two-handed dunk.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n3zwQ5xsRc)

The judges score..and the crowd doesn't agree: a 37.

After two dunks, Mastrangelo has 87 points.

Now, Sergio Rupérez dribbles the left side of the hoop, rises up, does a complete 360 in the air, then stop his motion, and throws down a monstrous jam with one hand. Simply Amazing.

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n5Py9d30Do)


Again, the judges saw something they didn't like: score 39

After two dunks, Rupérez has 81 points.

The judges give it a 47...putting Roach in first with 97 points

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!

Watch it: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b89MqUPPN0o)

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.
