This year’s NBA All-Star weekend will be held in Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome, home of the Clippers. With interest declining in the game itself over the last decade the NBA is trying something new this year in the form of a USA vs. World round-robin format featuring three teams of eight All-Stars apiece. However, the other events of the weekend remain largely untouched— including the slam dunk contest.
As was the case last year, the slam dunk contest will feature four players. The contest itself will consist of two rounds, and each dunker will get two dunks in the first round. The two contestants with the highest score after all the dunks will advance to the final round, where they again get two dunks each. The judges will reward the best dunks with the slam dunk contest title.
