JLin wins by being Asian American Weak dunk contestants though, I hope Bud wins, TWill should be in it also for that one windmill dunk in the preseason
He wont win becuause of Linsanity but hopefully he can get top 2 like he did at the McDonalds contest coming out of high school
At least this year's format is still better than the one they had last decade with the wheel of fortune.
Unfortunately , I'm certain this is the case....... He has to come out with a bang or it's light's out
To Bud's defense, he was in the 2006 McDonald's High School dunk contest and he was the runner up so I'd say he'll do alright. I just hope he doesn't freeze when the lights come on.

Official release: - The 2012 Sprite Slam Dunk in Orlando will feature a series of firsts, including four first-time participants, a new single-round format in which the winner will be chosen solely by fan vote, and the introduction of fan voting via Twitter. The four players who will vie for the Sprite Slam Dunk championship on Feb. 25, at Amway Center in Orlando (TNT, 8 p.m. ET) include the Houston Rockets' Chase Budinger, the Indiana Pacers' Paul George, the New York Knicks' Iman Shumpert, and the Minnesota Timberwolves' Derrick Williams. A new format will be implemented for the 2012 competition. The contest will consist of only one round and each competitor will execute three dunks. Fan voting will open after all four players have completed their first dunk. Previously, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest consisted of two rounds, with the first round scored by a panel of judges which determined two finalists. Beginning this year, only fan voting will be utilized in determining the winner and voting also will expand to social media. For the first time ever, fans will be able to cast votes on Twitter by posting a corresponding letter assigned to each dunker along with the hashtag #SpriteSlam. Since 2008, fans have determined the winner of the Sprite Slam Dunk through SMS TXT and voting on NBA.com as part of the "They Dunk. You Decide" campaign.
