Dwight Howard, Dominque Wilkins headline 2026 AT&T Slam Dunk judges

A quartet of former Slam Dunk contest winners are among the judges for 2026 AT&T Slam Dunk, the NBA announced Tuesday.

Hall of Famers Dominique Wilkins (who won the Slam Dunk contest in 1985 and ’90) and Dwight Howard (2008) lead the way, while three-time Slam Dunk contest winner Nate Robinson (’06, ’09, ’10) and Brent Barry (1996) round out the former NBA players who will serve as judges.

The fifth judge is the NBA ID Member Rep and will be one of the following creators: world-renowned NBA shooting coach Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews, actor and comedian Druski, or co-founder of Dude Perfect Tyler Toney. Fans can vote now to determine each creator’s role on All-Star Saturday.

After each dunk, NBA ID members can select a score, from 40 to 50, for each dunk. The average of these votes will be presented by the NBA ID Member Rep as one of the five scores for each dunk.
