    Just going up at ESPN online: Dunk contest field is Budinger, Paul George, Shumpert and Derrick Williams. And, yes, Jeremy Lin involved, too.

    Awesome news.

    Though I question his, and especially Shumpert's, involvement.

    [rQUOTEr]Sources said that the annual dunk contest has a new format which will consist of only one round and in which the winner will be solely determined by fan vote.

    All four competitors in the 2012 dunk field are first-timers and will be formally announced later Thursday, sources said. Each entrant will get three dunks, with fan voting to open after the foursome completes their first dunks.

    Only fan voting will be utilized in the new format, via Twitter for the first time, in addition to online and text voting.[/rQUOTEr]
