ROUND 3
Division 1
Matchup 1
#1 Knicks crush Heat on opening day after Sandy, Sheed hits first 3.
VERSUS
#2 JR Smith’s ridiculous alley-oop from Pablo Prigioni
Analysis: A night-long beatdown full of emotion, great basketball, and Sheed squares off against a play that took 2 seconds to be completed, but still astounds the viewer six months later.
Division 2
Matchup 2
#1 Iman Shumpert’s putback slam
VERSUS
#3 JR Smith hits 2 buzzer beaters vs Charlotte, Phoenix.
Analysis: Shumpert’s dunk was a more spectacular play on a much bigger stage, but both of JR’s shots delivered wins (albeit against 2 miserable teams) and some awesome salsa dancing. Both moments were phenomenal… which was better?
The decision is yours to make. Which 2 moments will advance to the finals? Cast your votes!
After one round of voting, the field has been narrowed down to 8 moments! Vote for your favorite highlight from each matchup! Voting for round 2 will close at the end of the day on July 25.
ROUND 2
Division 1
Matchup 1
#1 Knicks crush Heat on opening day after Sandy, Sheed hits first 3.
VERSUS
#6 Carmelo scores 50 on Heat
Analysis: With the emotions, the opening night atmosphere, and the Sheed moment, the #1 seed is the favorite here. But even though Miami sat their starts the night that Carmelo scored 50, the #6 seed has a chance to pull off an upset.
The seeds are set, the selections are in, and the tournament is open! Choose your favorite from each of the selections in our 8 first-round matchups. Voting will be open until the end of the day on July 23.
