Adamson rookie AP Manlapaz wowed the crowd inside the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan as he soared high for the Slamdunk championship during the 2019 Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup All-Star festivities last May 31.

The 6-foot-4 forward punctuated the final round of the competition with an off-the-bounce two-handed reverse flush that received 45 points from the judges.

Other finalists Rhenz Abando of UST and Adama Faye of NU failed to convert on their attempts, giving Manlapaz the title.

PBA legends Danny Ildefonso and Danny Siegle led this year’s set of judges, along with former college stars Bradwyn Guinto and Dennis Miranda, as well as LGR Sportswear boss, Rhayan Cruz.
