扣篮大赛作为全明星周末的一部分于今日举行，圣安东尼奥马刺队已连续第二年有球员参赛。
去年是斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)。今年，最近一届选秀大会的14号秀卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 将参加比赛。
扣篮大赛最初由 ABA 联盟于 1976 年创立，旨在从 NBA 球迷那里赢取收视率。首届比赛有两名圣安东尼奥马刺队球员参加——乔治·格文 (George Gervin) 和拉里·基农 (Larry Kenon)。朱利叶斯·欧文 (Julius Erving)，“J博士”，赢得了该届冠军。次年他们再次举办了该赛事（但没有马刺队成员参加），随后便搁置了这一活动。
1984 年，NBA 将扣篮大赛重新启动，作为其全明星庆典的一部分。埃德加·琼斯 (Edgar Jones) 代表马刺队出战，但未能闯出首轮。
三年后，约翰尼·道金斯 (Johnny Dawkins) 参加了 1987 年扣篮大赛。道金斯当时刚被马刺队选中，他职业生涯的前三个赛季都在这支银黑军团度过。
次年，格雷格·“卡迪拉克”·安德森 (Greg “Cadillac” Anderson) 参加了 1988 年扣篮大赛。与道金斯一样，安德森在被马刺队于首轮选中后，当时正处于他的新秀赛季。
在五年内出现三名参赛者后，圣安东尼奥马刺队时隔 37 年才再次有人出现在这项赛事中。那便是现任年度最佳新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔。
截至目前，马刺队从未有球员赢得过这项比赛。卡特·布莱恩特是马刺队史第七位参赛者，但他是自 NBA 接管该项赛事以来的第五位，也是本世纪以来的第二位。
扣篮大赛将于中部标准时间 (CST) 下午 4 点在 NBA 频道和 Peacock 平台播出。

Open Thread: Carter Bryant and the Spurs history in the Slam Dunk Contest
The Slam Dunk Contest is taking place today as part of All-Star Weekend and for the second consecutive year, the Spurs have a participant.
Last year was Stephon Castle. This year, Carter Bryant, the fourteenth pick of the most recent draft class, is joining the contest.
Originally created in 1976 by the ABA to gain viewership from NBA fans, the inaugural competition featured two San Antonio Spurs- George Gervin and Larry Kenon. Julius Erving, “Dr. J,” won the contest. They repeated the following year (without any members of the Spurs) before shelving the event.
In 1984, the NBA relaunched the Slam Dunk Contest as a part of their All-Star festivities. Edgar Jones represented the Spurs but did not make it out of the first round.
Three years later Johnny Dawkins participated in the 1987 Slam Dunk Contest. Dawkins, recently drafted by the Spurs, spent his first three seasons with the Silver & Black.
The following year Greg “Cadillac” Anderson competed in the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest. Like, Dawkins, Anderson was in his rookie season after being drafted in the first round by the Spurs.
After three participants in five years, it was another thirty-seven years before the San Antonio Spurs had representation in the competition. That was Stephon Castle, the reigning Rookie of the Year.
Thus far, the Spurs have never had a player win the contest. Carter Bryant represents the seventh player, but only the fifth since the NBBA commandeered the competition, and only the second in this millennium.
the Slam Dunk Contest takes place at 4PM CST on NBA and Peacock.
