Jeffries Takes Slam Dunk Title: All-Star '08


Update: This tuesday, January 29, 2008, Chris Jeffries won the annual slam dunk competition in Mar del Plata. Jeffries took the prize for the first time in Argentina, and ths second time in South America. He previously won the award in Venezuela last season.

The event, known as "El Juego de Estrellas", is similar to the NBA's all-star game, with a 3-point competition, dunk contest, legends game, and current stars game. The current stars game is played in a foreigners vs. nationals format.

Jeffries' accomplishment adds some encouragement to his team Obras Sanitarius, which has bolstered its position to #2 in the national standings. The regular season resumes in less than a week, so look out for more highlights and scores to come.
