Great show in the Turkish All Star game, accompanied with unique inspirations by the players that participate in the contests.
Two Fenerbahce players won the first 2 contests, while… the Force was strong in the Slam Dunk competition as a Star Wars themed dunk made all the difference.
19 year old Berk Ugurlu, of Fenerbahce was the man to dominate the Skills Contest and Ugurlu’s teammate in Fenerbahce, Melih Mahmutoglu defeated Jon Diebler in the 3point contest.

In the Slam Dunk contest, the reigning champion Kenny Gabriel, of Pinar Karsiyaka gave his scepter to Furkman Korkmaz. The 18 year old superprospect of Anadolu Efes, had already won thanks to a fantastic first dunk, when he jumped all over a table, AND passed the ball between his legs before throwing it in the basket. But he saved the best for the end, when he entered the court dressed as Darth Vader, accompanied by his teammate in Anadolu Efes, Cedi “Jedi” Osman. Finally, the Dark and the Light Side of the Force became one, for a spectacular finish in the Slam Dunk contest.
