The 2022 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in Cleveland is headlined by New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin, who returns to the stage looking to avenge his narrow runner-up finish from the previous year. He enters as a co-favorite alongside Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green, whose elite verticality and viral high school highlights have made him the most anticipated newcomer in the field. Rounding out the four-man lineup are Orlando’s Cole Anthony and Golden State’s Juan Toscano-Anderson, both of whom are looking to use their underdog status to steal the spotlight at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Result Description
Obi Toppin secured the 2022 Slam Dunk title, bringing the trophy back to New York after a steady performance in a night defined by missed attempts. Toppin defeated Juan Toscano-Anderson in the final round with a total score of 92, punctuating his victory with a clinical "behind-the-back" slam off the glass. While Toppin provided the most consistent highlights, the contest was marred by unforced errors from the rest of the field.

The first-round favorites struggled to find their rhythm, as Jalen Green and Cole Anthony were both eliminated early after repeatedly failing to convert their most ambitious dunks on the first attempt. Toscano-Anderson advanced to the finals by leaping over teammate Andrew Wiggins, but he couldn't maintain the momentum in the championship round, failing to complete his final dunk. Toppin’s win marks the first time a Knick has won the event since Nate Robinson in 2010.

Yeh felt a bit low key, but I liked the last dunk. Very innovative off the backboard. It looked a lot better in slow motion
