2016 Vine All American Team

Vines and Basketball are a match made in heaven. For those that don’t know, Vines are 6-second videos that come from the “Vine” app. For the most part, 6 seconds is plenty of time to encapsulate a basketball highlight, and it doesn’t require changing camera views like baseball or football. Vines were made for basketball. Last season, I put together the Vine All-American team, which is not necessarily the players that will be All-Americans, but those that routinely deliver the jaw-dropping highlights.

All season I’ve been promoting the #VineAllAmerican hashtag on Twitter to help track of the best highlight reel players in the nation and put together the list of players with the best highlight packages.
