Kobe Paras retains his slam dunk title at the FIBA 3×3

by PSR News Bureau

Filipino basketball sensation Kobe Paras defended his FIBA 3×3 Under-18 slam dunk title last Monday, June 8, after defeating United States’ Jalek Felton in the finals to retain the title he first won in 2013. Felton is the nephew of Dallas Mavericks guard Raymond Felton.

The son of PBA legend Benjie Paras leapt over teammate Ricci Rivero while grabbing the ball for a reverse windmill that drew a perfect 30 for the judges.
His victory gives the Philippines something to be happy about after the country failed to make the quarterfinals of the 3×3 tournament.
The 6-foot-6 Paras, a UCLA recruit, won the previous edition of the contest two years ago in Indonesia.
