The NBA held it’s first ever Social Media Awards on Wednesday night, honoring teams, players and individual plays in 12 categories. The awards were hosted by former players Shaquille O’neal and Rick Fox. The awards were presented to the most social plays, moments, players and teams from around the league during the 2011-12 season.
Four of the categories were video-based, won by plays or individual player performances, and included the following: Social Slam Award, The EPIC Award, The LOL Award and finally what appears to be the best play of the year category, The “Got Game” Award, which was presented to Master of the Dunking Arts, Blake Griffin of the LA Clippers.
