Hello and welcome to the Friendly Bounce Vine of the Season Tournament. The 2014-15 NBA season was filled with countless amazing moments, nearly all of which were recorded for posterity on Vine. So we decided to try and figure just which Vine was the best. The single-elimination tournament is broken down into four, eight-seed regions: the Steph Curry Region, the Giannis Antetokounmpo Region, the Staff Picks Region, and the Reader Picks Region. Readers will have a chance to vote on each matchup, with each round lasting one day. By the end of the week, we will have determined the NBA Vine of the Season. Let’s get into it.

Here we have the Staff Picks Region. First-round voting will close at midnight.

“I Called Game” (1) vs. ~~Hassan Whiteside Steal and Slam (8)~~

~~Rose at the Buzzer (2)~~ vs. Dirk Dunk and Celebration (7)

K.J. Block (3) vs. ~~Girl Flexin Like Boogie (6)~~

Kemba Block (4) vs. ~~Middleton Buzzer Beater (5)~~

UPDATE:

Only Derrick Rose’s game winner was upset in the first round. Everything else stayed chalk. Here are the Sweet Sixteen matchups.
