This year's NBA Slam Dunk Contest will be different from previous editions, in which all rounds will be decided by fan voting, with the final round expanded to include Twitter as a way to vote for this year's champion. Unfortunately, the lack of star power may be a key factor on this year's edition being one of the least anticipated dunk contests since the mid-1990s.

This year's contest involve four first-time participants: Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets, Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks, and Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Blake Griffin, the defending champion, declined to participate for unknown reasons, nor will runner-up JaVale McGee, which leaves this year's field as being 'boring', 'uninteresting' or 'repetitive', according to many basketball followers.
Now what is your take on this year's NBA Slam Dunk Contest?
