All-Star Slam Dunk Contest Format
The All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) exhibition held during the break in the regular season. The contest was inaugurated by the American Basketball Association (ABA) at its All-Star Game in 1976, and it subsequently became a part of the NBA program. In 1984, it became a standalone event, thus becoming the first official contest of All-Star Weekend.
The format of the Slam Dunk Contest has varied since its inception. Until 1977, the ABA dunk contest involved two participant dunks; from 1978 to 1979, it featured three participants; from 1980 to 1983, it again featured two participants; and finally, since 1984, it has featured four participants.
In 2014, a “Dunk Off” was added as a tiebreaker if the score between two contestants was tied at the end of regulation. If a tie still persisted after each contestant had taken one turn in overtime, then each contestant would get one final dunk attempt.
The rules have also been tweaked throughout the years. Prior to 1998, players could only use one hand for slam dunks; however, that rule was changed so that players could use two hands beginning in 1998. Another rule change occurred in 2000 when Vince Carter popularized dunks in which players jumped over an object or another person; as a result of this change, objects or persons can now be used as long as they are not placed underneath the basket stanchion prior to aplayer taking off for their dunk attempt.
