Spanish basketball 3-point shootout and slam dunk contests
The ACB contests are the 3-point shootout and slam dunk contests held by the Liga ACB , the top-tier level professional club basketball league in the country of Spain.
History
From 1986 through 2003 , these contests were celebrated during the ACB League 's weekend festival, which was called Showtime ACB , and which included the Liga ACB Stars Match (Spanish All-Star Game).[ 1] 1992 to 1994 , this weekend was organized by ULEB , which held the ULEB All-Star Game . In 1992 and 1993 , it was contested between the Spanish ACB League's all-stars and the Italian League's all-stars . While the French League's all-stars also joined in the contest in the 1994. After the 2003, the ACB decided not to organize the All-Star Game anymore.
Since 2004 , the Liga ACB's slam dunk and 3 point shootout contests are played during the Spanish Supercup , with the exception of 2011 , when they weren't organized, and 2012 , when it was celebrated during the presentation of the league, in the headquarters of Endesa , the league's main sponsor.
