The 61st annual NBA All-Star weekend featured several entertaining moments, none more memorable than the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest featured a slew of high-flying talent, including Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets, Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers and Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Evans inevitably won the dunk title after jumping over a comedian Kevin Hart and performing a double dunk. His victory didn't come easily, though, as the competition was filled with many surpises.
