Slam Dunk Contest
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest, officially known as the Sprite Slam Dunk for sponsorship reasons, is an annual National Basketball Association competition held during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The contest was inaugurated by the American Basketball Association at its All-Star Game in 1976 in Denver, the same year the slam dunk was legalized in the NCAA. As a result of the ABA-NBA merger later that year there would not be another slam dunk contest at the professional level until 1984. The contest currently uses fan voting, via text-messaging, to determine the winner of the final round.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Slam Dunk Contest
