WATCH: Ridiculous alley-oop and dunk prove Griffith Swords do indeed bring the Thunder

Crazy sh*t

SportsJOE

Another week in the Super League, another ridiculous piece of skill.

A couple of weeks ago we brought you verified footage of Irishman Lorcan Murphy performing a beautiful reverse dunk for Templeogue.

This weekend it was a Spaniard doing the flying, Griffith Swords Thunder’s Jose Maria Gil Narbon producing the spectacular finish. But for us it is all about the pass from Kevin Lacey, who splits two Belfast Star defenders with a perfectly weighted alley-oop.

You know, the kind of floated pass that no man can resist grabbing out of the air and slamming through a ring suspended 10 feet off the hardwood floor.

The Thunder went on to win 92-71 to keep them in a tie for second behind Templeogue, alongside UCD Marion and Kieran Donaghy’s Irish TV Tralee Warriors.
