This year's winner was Utah's Jeremy Evans, who replaced New York's Iman Shumpert.
Evans won with 29 percent of the fan vote and here are his dunks from last night:
Here's an in-game dunk, although called an offensive foul on Evans, over Portland's Gerald Wallace that was pretty sweet:
When I was a kid, I loved watching the slam dunk contest. Although Evans' second dunk was really nice, the contest no longer has the appeal (to players and fans alike) that is used to have.
As great as it is to see players dunk in games over defenders, maybe they should introduce a real defender (not just a teammate) into the mix with the goal trying to dunk over someone else.
Or just get rid of the contest altogether.
