When is the Slam Dunk Contest 2012? Here is the NBA Slam Dunk Start Time (More or Less)

NBA All-Star Saturday night 2012 is almost as popular as the 2012 All-Star game itself, thanks to several high profile events like the Skills Challenge and three-point shootout.

There is no more high profile event than the NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2012. Sadly, this year's Slam Dunk contest may not be as glamorous as previous events due to the lack of high profile names like Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard. Still, the NBA Slam Dunk Contest is must-see TV for hoops junkies around the world.

What time is the NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2012?

It's tough to say. NBA All-Star Saturday night doesn't always run perfectly on time since the events preceding it often run long. NBA All-Star Saturday is set to begin at 8:30 pm ET.

A best guess would be that the NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011 start time will be around 10:00 ET or so. Once again, that is an estimate.

If you want to look at it another way, the NBA All-Star Saturday post-game show is set to air at 11 pm ET on NBA TV. Working backwards, it would make sense that the Slam Dunk contest would start 30-45 minutes before that. Odds are, if you tune in at 10 pm ET, you should catch it.
