-----------Welcome to the LIVE BLOG of the 2013 All-Star Festivities----------------
The Slam Dunk Contest is here and we will bring you the action live as players prepare for takeoff in Houston as the NBA's All-Star Weekend rolls along.Check out this live blog for the slam Dunk contest. We'll bring a dunk-by-dunk update of the action in case you can't watch the contest.
Jeremy Evans is up to defend his dunking title, but James White an Gerald Green have stolen the attention from the 2012 champion.
Evans, who won the dunk contest after leaping over comedian Kevin Hart and then dunked two balls into the hoop over assister and teammate Gordon Heyward, has barely gotten any press in the past few weeks.
Carmelo Anthony co-signed White's participation in the contest willing him a sleeper an the best kept secret in the NBA. The New York Knick forward only has two dunks in the season, but it's his dunking record from college, D-League and European league that has made the man the most talked about participant in the competition today.
His head to head matchups with Green in previous dunk competitions will make this an interesting contest.
Both guys glide and suspend in the air and finish strong at the hoop.
Other participants in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest include Eric Bledsoe, Kenneth Faried and Terrence Ross. .
