MANILA, Philippines — Known for his playmaking and outside shooting and leadership, Jimmy Alapag reminded basketball fans that he could throw it down as well.

Alapag on Tuesday finally found the clip he had long been looking for—a rare video of him dunking during his younger years in the PBA.

In the video he shared on his Instagram, the 5-foot-9 Alapag followed up a missed layup by Willie Miller with an emphatic two-handed dunk off a fastbreak.

“Happened only ONCE in my 14-year career and only took about 15 years to find the video,” Alapag said with a laugh on his Instagram. “But man this brings back a great memory.”
