Ketikidis is back up off the bench.

Markos dribbles on the left baseline, leaps up, palming the ball with one hand. He nearly hits his head on the rim, but ducks under just as he crushes this one-handed beauty of a slam dunk.

The judges agree, it is a thing of beauty: another 50 pointer!

Can Roach match it?

Roach 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.

And the judges say....a 46! They must have seen something they didn't like.

Final dunks now....

Ketikidis is going to need plenty of room for this one. He back up to the opposite baseline, takes a few dribbles, then races toward the hoop. As he reaches the free throw line, he takes off, extending the ball with one hand while letting his legs trail behind him. Finally, after hanging in the air for an eternity, Markos jams the ball through the hoop. Amazing!

The judges take off some style points....scoring a 45 for a total of 145 and leaving the door open for Roach.

Roach is going to the way-back machine for this final attempt. He pulls on the familiar #21 of former EC High Flyers great, Liang Minghao, much to the delight of the crowd. Roach takes a few dribbles, then takes off toward the hoop. He goes up, and cocks back an incredible windmill slam. What a tribute to Liang!

But the judges don't agree! They score it a 38!

And Ketikidis wins!

Well, I'm not sure if it played out how I thought, but hopefully you were entertained.

Carter and J-Rich's dunks scoring 30s. That's pretty funny.
