The NBA's top talent put on a show at the Air Canada Centre, but on this night, the skills and three-point shooting just served as a warm-up for one of the most incredible dunk contests the league has ever seen.

Just, wow.

Four dunkers entered the contest: Denver's Will Barton, Detroit's Andre Drummond, Orlando's Aaron Gordon and the defending champion, Minnesota's Zach Lavine.

Lavine won again. Because this:

But not before Gordon did this:

What do you think, Drake?

Speaking of celebrities, Drake sat next to Spike Lee. Jon Stewart, who introduced the slam dunk contest judges including crowd favourite Magic Johnson sat courtside with celebrity game standoutJason Sudeikis,Olivia Wilde and Steve Nash.

Nash actually came out to lend a soccer-style assist to Drummond during the dunk contest, which sadly didn't work out for the big man.

But don't blame Nash. EvenDrummondwatched the dunk contest finish in a state of disbelief.

Barton, however,gets the win for best entrance for his Thrillerimpression, complete with zombie cheerleaders.

In the other contests, two Golden State Warriors battled for the three-point shooting title, with Klay Thompson beating defending champ StephCurry. And the big rookie Karl-Anthony Towns won the skills competition, to the delight of his teammate Andrew Wiggins, who watched from the sideline.

Toronto Raptor Kyle Lowrycompeted in the three-point contest but didn't make it out of the first round. But, he'll start in Sunday'sAll-Star game while his teammate, DeMar DeRozan comes off the bench.

Here's hoping Sunday's games will have some more highlight reel dunks.
