Though the Slam Dunk Contest started in the ABA in 1976, a merger with the NBA later that year ended the 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 very first slam dunk contest was won by Julius Erving of the Nets at the 1976 ABA All-Star Game. The current champion of the NBA Dunk Contest is Blake Griffin.
