Congrats to Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz for winning the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest. Jeremy was a late replacement for Iman Shumpert. Jeremy had some pretty sick dunks this season so far, I figured he would do his thing in Orlando. For the first time ever, fans voted for the winner through text message.
In the 3 Point Shootout, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love took home the long distance trophy. Love is having a breakout year averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds.
With Knicks super fan Spike Lee looking on, Team New York had the touch from the outside and won the Shooting Stars event. The trio of former Knicks star Allan Houston, current Knicks guard Landry Fields, and Cappie Pondexter of the WNBA's New York Liberty took home the victory.
Now to the big game on Sunday, East-Side vs. West-Side.
