who won the dunk contest

Keshad Johnson of the Miami Heat won the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, edging out Carter Bryant in the final round on All-Star Saturday in Inglewood, California.

He advanced to the finals with creative high-flying dunks, including leaping over a person and a reverse between-the-legs finish that scored near-perfect marks from the judges. Carter Bryant posted a perfect 50 on an earlier between-the-legs dunk, but failed to land his planned final attempt cleanly, which opened the door for Johnson’s more consistent performance to secure the trophy.

The contest was part of the 2026 All-Star Saturday slate that also featured Damian Lillard winning his third three‑point contest title.
