This kid have a bright future, only 16 and definitely got hops! Kobe Paras defeats representatives from the United States and Spain to take home the Tournament Slam dunk trophy. PHL's Kobe Paras won the dunk contest at the 2013 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championship in Jakarta, Indonesia besting USA’s Demonte Flannigan and Spain’s Antonio Morales in the finals.Who is this kid?
Kobe, Benjie, Andre Paras
If you are a Filipino and a fan of basketball then you would know who the man in the middle is, that is Benjie Paras the only PBA( Philippine Basketball Association) player to have ever won the Rookie of the year and the MVP honor in the same year (1989), to his left is Kobe Paras, on the other side is Andre his sons, and they are both young ballers. That at least gives you an idea on where this kid get his athleticism and skills, Oh and before I forget, Benjie Paras also won a dunk contest, like father like son.
Don't believe me watch these!

This one is like the Lebron pre game dunk ritual with a little twist
This one is reminiscing of Derrick Williams dunk on a bike
