When does Slam Dunk Contest 2016 start?

When will the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest start on NBA Saturday Night?

NBA All-Star Saturday Night is one of the most popular nights of the year for the NBA. It’s a night when the best stars in the league get together and compete against each other in skill-based challenges that are suited to their position.

It’s a national stage where stars can elevate themselves globally and become the next big thing in the NBA. One contest that has been a staple of elevating players for years is the Slam Dunk Contest. Every year, the Slam Dunk Contest caps off the events on Saturday night with an exciting end.

This year’s Slam Dunk Contest in Toronto will start around 9:30 p.m. EST after the conclusion of the Three-Point Contest. The Slam Dunk Contest will feature Zach LaVine trying to defend his championship against three other men that will be looking to take it from him.

LaVine really elevated himself in the NBA spotlight last year when he won the contest and it has helped become one of the budding young players in the game. If he really wants to make his mark on the history of the contest, he will have his chance on Saturday night.
