NBA All-Star Saturday Night Tickets featuring the Slam Dunk Contest in Phoenix

By: Spencinator    Category: Sports, US Airways Center Tickets

One of my favorite Slam Dunk years was back when Vince Carter won. This is a fun contest and only happens once a year. Come out for the fun here in Phoenix at the US Airway Center. Here is some info from wikipedia:

The Slam Dunk Contest is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) competition held during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The contest was inaugurated by the American Basketball Association (ABA) at its All-Star Game in 1976 in Denver, just as the slam dunk was legalized in the NCAA. It enabled players to showcase their dunking skills and try to “out-dunk” each other. However, this contest would be short-lived as the ABA merged the following year with the NBA. Realizing the popularity of slam dunks, the NBA soon created a contest of its own, which made its first appearance in 1984. The contest currently uses fan voting, via text-messaging, to determine the winner.

The very first slam dunk contest was won by Julius Erving at the 1976 ABA All-Star Game. The current champion of the NBA Dunk Contest is Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

If you can’t find the seats you want to this event through the box office here are your best after market ticket vendor options:

1. AIW Tickets always has a great inventory and usually has the cheapest prices too.

2. Stubhub is an excellent place to shop online as well. They’ll even let you sell your tickets there.
