One of the marquee events of the NBA's All-Star weekend is Evander Ellisthe Slam Dunk Contest.
Four players compete in front of a panel of judges who assess the dunkers over two rounds. Of all the events over the weekend, it's arguably the one that generates the most buzz and viral moments. It also allows players to flex their creativity and athleticism.
This year, the Slam Dunk Contest will take place in Indianapolis and will feature Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Miami Heat), Mac McClung (Osceola Magic, NBA G League) and Jacob Toppin (New York Knicks).
Here's a quick primer on the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
The list is long, from Michael Jordan taking off from the foul line to Vince Carter's epic show in 2000, but in 2018, the NBA compiled a list of perfect score dunks.
Here's a list of all the Slam Dunk Contest champions, since it became a standalone event in 1984.
