What if I told you that in 2010, Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes won a slam dunk contest in Lithuania? Yes, the same Baynes who has been the victim of countless posters himself. The same Baynes who prides himself on defense and rim protection. The same Baynes who has an NBA Graveyard named after him on NBA Twitter. I’m here to tell you that 8 years ago, the LKL’s best dunker was a 6-10 Australian center.
The LKL is Lithuania’s top professional basketball league, which received plenty of attention earlier this year thanks to LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball’s brief stint in the city of Prienai.
