2013 Dunk Contest field: Jeremy Evans, Bledsoe, Faried; Gerald Green, Terrence Ross, James White
The 2013 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend in Houston will feature two former champions, one of the league's most exciting rookie dunkers, an explosive combo guard starting to earn national attention, a rim-rattling big man and a world-renowned dunker who's already guaranteed a win.
As announced on TNT's pregame show before the Boston Celtics/Los Angeles Lakers game on Thursday night, the six participants in this year's dunk contest are:
• Utah Jazz forward Jeremy Evans, the 2012 Sprite Slam Dunk champion
• Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe
• Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried
• Indiana Pacers forward/guard Gerald Green
• Toronto Raptors forward/guard Terrence Ross
• New York Knicks forward/guard James White
Both Evans and Green, who won the 2007 contest as a member of the Boston Celtics, will look to become the sixth player in the competition's 27-year history to win multiple dunk contests, joining Michael Jordan (1987, 1988), Dominique Wilkins (1985, 1990), Harold Miner (1993, 1995), Jason Richardson (2002, 2003) and Nate Robinson (2006, 2009, 2010).
