Although the NBA All-Star Game is often an exciting contest featuring the best basketball players in the world, the most anticipated and discussed portion of All-Star weekend itself is usually the Slam Dunk Contest,

There have been a few players to attempt to win three straight NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contests but each has failed in the attempt.

The action starts 8 p.m. ET Saturday on TNT with the Skills Challenge before moving on to the 3-point Contest and then the Slam Dunk Contest.
