Four to compete for All-Star dunk title
Basketball Betting Lines
02/16/2012 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Indiana's Paul George, Minnesota's Derrick
Williams, Houston's Chase Budinger and Iman Shumpert of the Knicks will vie
for the dunk title as part of festivities at the 2012 All-Star weekend.
The Slam Dunk contest will take place on February 25 at Amway Center in
Orlando, one day before the All-Star Game.
Last year's champion, Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers, decided
against participating.
A new format will be implemented for this year's competition. The contest will
consist of only one round and each competitor will execute three dunks.
Fan voting will open after all four players have completed their first dunk.
Previously, the dunk contest consisted of two rounds, with the first round
scored by a panel of judges which determined two finalists.
Beginning this year, only fan voting will be utilized in determining the
winner and voting also will expand to social media. For the first time ever,
fans will be able to cast votes on Twitter by posting a corresponding letter
assigned to each dunker. Since 2008, fans have determined the winner through
texting and voting on NBA.com.
