GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Chandler Parsons' put-back slam against Kent State on December 9, 2010 was selected as a 2011 Dunk of the Year nominee, announced today by sports television production and event marketing company Intersport. The 2011 Dunk of the Year is wholly determined by fan voting and will be announced on a one-hour Dunks of the Year special airing on ABC April 2.
Each week for eight weeks, four incredible dunk videos are released at the Dunks of the Year fan page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/dunksoftheyear). The top weekly vote-getters proceed to the Finals, which tip off March 7, and are highlighted within the ABC special.
Parsons' incredible follow-up dunk is competing against three other dunkers in Week 1, including Johnny Godette (Lee University), Travis Leslie (Georgia), and Shay Shine (High Point).
To support Parsons, fans can vote once a day and share their vote with their Facebook friends. Week one voting is open until Sunday, January 16 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
