When fans voted Spanish Trail Blazer guard Rudy Fernandez into the NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest (which airs on TNT this Saturday night), we knew it wasn’t just a victory for Portland, but for fans near and far.

Spanish Vacation!
Teammate Sergio Rodriguez, who had said he’d be on a beach vacation during All-Star Weekend, shows up in swim trunks.
He pulls a basketball out of his suitcase and hurls it to Fernandez, who strips to his trunks mid-alley-oop.
Fernandez lands in a strategically placed kiddie pool and invites teammates and fans alike to come onto the court.
Everybody do the Spanish Vacation!
