Spud Webb owns one of the most memorable dunk-contest performances in NBA history. This weekend, he'll be judging the performances of current NBA dunkers during the league's 2010 All-Star weekend.

Webb, the former NBA guard who took home the slam-dunk crown in 1986, is happy the event is taking place in his hometown of Dallas.

"Having lived in Dallas my entire life, it's great to finally see the All-Star Game back here," Webb told ESPN.com. "This event brings back a lot of great memories."

Webb will judge defending slam-dunk champion Nate Robinson along with Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace. A fourth participant will be determined in a dunk-off between Eric Gordon and DeMar DeRozan at halftime of the Rookie Challenge the night before.
