Fan voting will open after all four players have completed their first dunk. Previously, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest consisted of two rounds, with the first round scored by a panel of judges which determined two finalists.

Last Year Slam Dunk Contest

  Last year Dunk Contest was won by the Monster Blake Griffin after he launched a two handed Tomahawk  from a teammate Baron Davis on top of a new Silver Kia.

Prediction: 

•  Paul George was the unanimous pick inside the NBA Pool after displaying terrific creativeness and swagger every dunk before the Contest.
• Chase Buddinger may also pull some surprises from his sleeves, the runner from Mc Donald's Dunk Contest.
• Jeremy Evans will have a so-so Dunks same.
• Derick Williams will be the  dark horse in this competition.

Prediction: 

• If Ryan Anderson will top or at least be 2nd after the first round, a big possibility that he might win.
• Kevin Durant can endure a 3 round shooting contest but will he have the pulse to start this going?
