The player with the highest combined score in the final round will be deemed champion. Each player will get two dunks in the first round and the two dunkers with the highest combined total will advance to the final round, where they will go head-to-head for two more dunks. A panel of five judges will grade each dunk on a scale from 6 to 10, making for a perfect score of 50. Each player has up to three attempts to complete each dunk. Like last year, the contest will feature two rounds without time limits. Minnesota’s LaVine, Detroit’s Andre Drummond, Denver’s Will Barton and Orlando’s Aaron Gordon will make up the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest field, announced the league. Sports Illustrated's Ben Golliver has the details: This year's competition will adhere to a traditional structure familiar to most fans of the event. Thankfully, the NBA has no plans to return to the abomination that was the team-focused 2014 Slam Dunk Contest format. The 20-year-old LaVine will be looking to become the first back-to-back Slam Dunk Contest champion since Nate Robinson pulled off the feat in 20.
