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.
All week we’ve been playing out the Vine of the Season Tournament, and yesterday it came down to the championship, which pitted Steph Curry against Kobe Bryant. Steph making Chris Paul fall down with a filthy double crossover got him to the title match, while Kobe yelling at Jeremy Lin to foul got it done for him.
After a long day and an extremely close vote, Kobe Bryant took home another ring, besting Curry by just four votes. It was an awesome week filled with great memories from the season, but once again, Kobe shows why he’s still one of the league’s premier players. Congratulations, Kobe.
Cue the music.
