NBA Slam Dunk Contest, NBA, NBA All-Star Game
NBA All-Star Saturday Night: LIVE updates of Slam Dunk and 3-Point Contest
Here is a tip of what you need to know as the game draws close.
The defending champion Zach LaVine was at the all star weekend as a rookie last year in New York taking away from one of the worst teams in the league. He made a remarkable performance in slam and breathed new life into the dunk contest. He will go to Toronto tonight looking to repeat as champion.
LaVine will compete against Detroit center Andre Drummond, Denver swingman Will Barton and Orlando forward Aaron Gordon. Last year he blew away the field from the very first dunk, a through-the-legs reverse jam off of a bounce that let everyone know that this skinny 19-year-old meant business.
This is about to be the dunk game of the year. Enjoy!
