New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson, who won the 2009 dunk event, will compete against Lakers guard Shannon Brown and Charlotte forward Gerald Wallace.
Eric Gordon of the Los Angeles Clippers and DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors will compete for the fourth spot for dunk competition on February 12.
