2012 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in Slow Motion HD

While the NBA dunk contest has certainly lost a little bit of the sizzle that used to come with the event, when the likes of Dominique, Michael and Vince would bring the house down, the event still proves to showcase some freakishly athletic maneuvers from some of the lessor known players in the league.

I'm sure 90% of the viewing public didn't know who these cats were before the dunk contest. Where are all the superstars like in the 80s and 90s? Lebron said in an interview that the $35K prize money isn't enough to get him in the contest, but if it was a million, maybe he would be. Shit's just sad. The events are supposed to be FOR THE FANS. Not for some over-compensated star to get another check.

Well  The NBA trained high-speed Phantom Cameras on the action and the result is something truly spectacular to behold. Watch as Jeremy Evans, Paul George, Chase Budinger and Derrick Williams pull of their signature dunks for the night.
