You like the slam dunk? You like free shoes? Well you've come to the right place. We present to you The Hoops Manifesto's 2010/11 NBA Dunk of the Year Tournament. We've selected 16 of the best dunks from the 2010/11 NBA season and have paired them up in a single elimination tournament. The rules are pretty simple: you, the reader, vote for which dunk is the best between each pair (please only vote once per dunk - no ballot stuffing - that's why a valid e-mail address is required for each voting ballot). Each round of voting will be open for a week and we'll continue until we have crowned our champion.
But what about the free shoes I mentioned earlier? Our friends at adidas have generously offered up a pair of their brand new adiZero Crazy Lights to be given away. Every person who votes in the contest will be entered in a random draw with one lucky person winning the pair of shoes. There are three ways to increase your chances of winning the shoes: 1) make sure to vote in each and every round of the tournament, 2) hit the Facebook Like button on the story to earn an extra entry in the draw, and 3) hit the Tweet button to earn an extra entry.
