Okay, so maybe Rudy Fernandez throwing no look over the head lobs to Kenneth Faried in Denver is still dunk of the year thus far in the NBA. But when it comes to the Euroleague, Fernadez comes in at #7 for Real Madrid with Serge Ibaka on the receiving end.

And now that I am firmly planted in Germany, also had to give a nod to PJ Tucker and Marcus Slaughter from Brose Baskets Bamberg. After catching Bamberg versus Bayern Munchen a couple weeks back, can attest Tucker can put it away. As for Slaughter, he'll be in the Beko BBL Slam Dunk Contest in Ludwigsburg, Germany on Saturday.

Hit the clip.
