We were all curious about the dunk competition but it's official, Terrence Ross will be back in the dunk contest at February's All-Star weekend in New Orleans.

Winning the dunk contest was one thing. Defending it is another. Terrence Ross is leaving nothing to chance. The sophomore swing man began working up some dunk options a couple of days ago.

The shooting guard who has replaced Rudy Gay in the starting lineup will look to win the dunk title two years in a row, a feat only achieved by a few guys including Jason Richardson, Nate Robinson and Michael Jordan.

The rest of the 2014 dunk contest field has yet to be determined but Terrence Ross mentioned names like Orlando's Victor Oladipo, the Pistons Andre Drummond and Tony Mitchell.

If this is the case and these guys are in the contest, I think we should be in for some crazy athletic dunks.  And if I were T-Ross, I'd be most worried about this competition including Tony Mitchell, he's got some explosive dunks, just check out the highlights:
