David Carlos, the “Zero Gravity” dunk king of the Philippines, clinched the championship in the slam dunk contest at the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Abu Dhabi, thrilling fans with his signature acrobatic dunks and defying opponents taller than himself. Known for his dynamic aerial moves and relentless showmanship, Carlos, who stands 5’8″, once again demonstrated why he’s a force in global slam dunk competitions.
This victory marks another milestone for Carlos, who previously won gold in the FIBA 3×3 Dunk Contest at the 2017 Chengdu Masters and silver in Doha in 2019. His feats at the Jumpshot 3×3 event in Singapore had already solidified his international acclaim, but Abu Dhabi provided yet another platform for Carlos to showcase his incredible dunking prowess on the world stage.
Held at the scenic Abu Dhabi Corniche from October 26-27, the FIBA 3×3 World Tour event provided an urban, festival-like atmosphere that energized both players and spectators. The contest attracted elite dunkers from across the globe, each competing in a unique, untimed final round after three rounds of limited attempts, raising the stakes for Carlos and his fellow competitors.
