One of the marquee events of the NBA's All-Star weekend is the 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).
