Miami Heat forward Keshad Johnson won the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night at the Intuit Dome.

Representing the Bay Area, Johnson performed a series of showstopping dunks before bringing out rapper E-40. "I just came out here and showed the people who Showtime was," Johnson said. The second-year pro defeated Carter Bryant, Jase Richardson, and Jaxson Hayes in the final.
