Rhenz Abando's winning dunk in KBL All-Star dunk contest


Rhenz Abando is still doing Rhenz Abando things in South Korea.

The NCAA Season 97 Rookie-MVP did not fail to entertain the Korean crowd as he won the Korean Basketball League's dunk contest in its All-Star weekend on Sunday.

Abando, who is playing for Anyang KGC in the KBL, got help from fellow Filipino import RJ Abarrientos in his first attempt to tally a perfect score in his first attempt.

 

 

He got another perfect score in the second round to nail the contest.

 

 

Of course, Filipinos got to see Abando's talent first when he played at the collegiate level for the University of Santo Tomas and the Colegio de San Juan de Letran.

See some of Abando's highlights during his stint with the Letran Knights.

 

 

Abando also led the Filipino imports to a win against Team KBL, 13-7, in the 3x3 contest. The former NCAA MVP was joined by Abarrientos and SJ Belangel in the contest.

Meanwhile, Abarrientos tallied three points in the loss of his squad Team Heo Ung against Team Lee Dae-Sung, 122-117.
