  • While this year's 3-Point Contest sports five All-Stars
  • Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard, New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland, Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro, and Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham
  • the 2025 Dunk Contest has zero.

The article from Newsweek discusses the top five NBA All-Star Dunk Contest performances of all time. It highlights Vince Carter's 2000 performance, where he executed a series of gravity-defying dunks, including a 360 windmill and a between-the-legs dunk, earning him the title of "Vinsanity." Michael Jordan's 1988 performance is noted for his iconic free-throw line dunk, setting a high bar for future contests. Aaron Gordon's 2016 contest is remembered for his creativity and near-perfect scores, including jumping over the mascot and a self-pass off the backboard. Zach LaVine's 2016 duel with Gordon is celebrated for its back-and-forth spectacle, with LaVine's between-the-legs from the free-throw line being particularly memorable. Lastly, Dominique Wilkins' 1988 performance is praised for his powerful dunks and his rivalry with Jordan, which added to the contest's legendary status.
