The two favorites to win the NBA All Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest were Chase Budinger , who would pay $19.50 for every $10 bet and Paul George, promising at $20 payout on a $10 wager.   

Derrick Williams would pay out $30 for every $10 bet while Jeremy Evans would pay $35.50. 

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.
