It seems that people either love or hate the NBA Dunk Contest. You can put me under the category of "in love" with the dunk contest. I don't believe I have ever missed a dunk contest and after seeing who the reported contestants are you won't want to miss it either.

According to Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com, the participants are 2015's defending champion, Minnesota's Zach Lavine, Denver's Will Barton, Orlando's Aaron Gordon and Detroit Pistons' Andre Drummond!

No one really stands a chance against Levine in my opinion, but maybe Drummond will surprise us all and pull a Dwight Howard and win one for the big men.

Producer of Karsch and Anderson, Khang and myself, think that Aaron Gordon of the Magic really could be a dark horse. The official announcement is believed to happen Thursday afternoon.
