· The Social SLAM Award - for the favorite dunk during regular season voted on by the fans.

The winners will be announced during the broadcast. Additionally, voting for The Social Slam Award will remain open during the show with the winner announced live.

"The NBA Social Media Awards was developed as a fun way to recognize our fans, players and teams which have contributed to the league's leadership position in the social space," said Christina Miller, SVP and GM, NBA Digital. "The NBA is consistently at the forefront of innovation and this show will capture the passion and influence the entire NBA community demonstrates across a wide array of social media platforms."

"Our fans have created a global community through social media where they can engage directly with other fans, hundreds of players, and all of our teams," said NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver.
