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.

Yeah, I agree. I only had a handful of Top 10s from which to cut these individual clips. If I had to do it over again, I'd add in a few stinkers to justify the low scores.

If anyone is interested in looking behind the curtain on the Dunk contest, I can show the spreadsheet, provided, all the owners involved don't mind showing the relevant skills on their players.

FWIW - Here's Ketikidis' first round:

Ketikidis.....IS.......DR.......REB.......HAND....... PASS.......Tpass.......CR.......WOW....TOTAL
Dunk 1 - ....11................................11.........8................12...........19.53....0.9656.....59.413368
Dunk 2 -.....11.......15.....................11..........................................19.53....0.9582.....54.167046
Dunk 3 - ....11..................5............11..........................................19.53....0.9607.....42.71454
TOTAL SCORE.........................................................................................................156.294954

Tpass=teammate's passing
CR=creativity (random sequence between 1900-2000)
WOW=Wow factor (random sequence between 9000-10000)

TOTAL = (attributes+creativity)*WOW

I used random.org to generate the four-digit sequences and converted them to decimals.

Comments are welcome!
