Europeans Lay Claim to the Dunk Contest

European players are known (stereotyped?) for fitting into a certain mold, namely, outside shooters with solid fundamentals. But wait, you're telling me they now do the dunk contest, a uniquely American exhibition, better than us? I'll leave that for you to decide, but I think it's obvious. This is a battle between James Singleton, former Clipper, and Victor Claver, the cowboy-hat wearing Spaniard who pretty much stole the show. Of course, this probably wouldn't fly stateside, seeing as American judges have proven to hate creativity.
