Every Rhenz Abando Korean Basketball League highlight video includes him soaring high for jaw-dropping dunks. And he makes them look easy.

On Sunday, the Anyang KGC import continued to dazzle Korean fans with his aerial prowess as he claimed the league’s Dunk Contest.

No wonder netizens call him “Airbando.”

 One of his qualifying dunks included a 360 two-handed dunk (looked like he pumped it first before throwing it down). After that, it appeared he made Vince Carter’s “It’s Over” gesture.

Remember Gerald Green’s first dunk in the 2007 NBA Dunk Contest?

Yes, Abando did a similar one with the help of fellow Filipino RJ Abarrientos, who was really hyped up after the dunk.

But Abando was not done. The lanky, 6-foot-2 Filipino also left players and spectators in awe after pinning the ball down the backboard before pulling off a reverse two-handed jam.

Look at these highlights from KBL’s official Instagram account.

 

Also, this.

 

With this latest Abando feat, Daegu Filipino point guard SJ Belangel couldn’t help but be proud.
