JUSTIN MELTON’S BLINDFOLDED ‘DUNK’
Was it an actual dunk attempt, or did 2014 Slam Dunk co-champion Justin Melton just wanted to wear Joe DeVance’s sweaty shirt on his face? Whatever it was, the results were hilarious. The judges gave him a 5, but he scored a perfect 10 for viral points with headlines such as “Blindfolded Slam Dunk Goes As Horribly As You’d Expect” from Huffington Post and “Blindfolded dunk attempt results in hilarious sports fail” from Mashable.

But before you dismiss Melton “The Flying Minion” as a joke, we’re talking to you Daniel Orton, here are his dunks from last year’s competition:

JAPETH AGUILAR’S REVENGE GAME
Japeth made it to the finals of the Slam Dunk contest, but failed to snatch the crown from reigning co-champion Rey Guevarra. As a starter at the North-South All Star Game, he took his frustrations out on the rim, and slammed it ferociously (by Japeth Aguilar standards) every chance he got. He was on dunk mode from the opening tip that, at one point, all North teammate LA Tenorio had to do was throw a high bounce pass from the three-point line and Japeth turned it into an alley-oop. Japeth ended All-Star Sunday with 25 points, and hopefully, a good night’s sleep.

TERRENCE ROMEO STEALS THE SHOW
…And the MVP trophy from Calvin Abueva. The All-Star Game ended in controversy after Romeo was named MVP over Abueva, who topscored with 37 points, and added 16 rebounds and 7 assists for the North squad. Romeo, for his part, did score 30 points and hit a couple of crucial baskets during crunch time to seal the victory. The GlobalPort phenom also won the Three-Point Shootout and scored 50 points for the Sophomores on All-Star Friday. #superbless
Thank you kay GOD and sa lahat ng mga kuya ko sa team north kung hindi dahil sakanila hindi ko makukuha yun super bless na maging kampi sila

DANCE SHOWDOWN
So, they danced again. And this happened.

SALAMAT, JIMMY
Jimmy Alapag played in a PBA-sanctioned game for one last time, leaving one last mark to his great legacy. He reunited with old friend Asi Taulava for the South All-Stars, and set a new All-Star Game record in assists with 17. The previous record was held by–surprise, surprise–Jimmy Alapag. At halftime, The Mighty Mouse delivered an emotional speech as his number 3 jersey was retired, but his wife LJ had the line of the night: “I married a legend.”
