We have been hard at work putting together a Top 10 D3 Dunks video for the 2024-2025 season but it turns out the hard work has been, well, hard. While some big dunks from some big dunkers have been easy inclusions in the Top 10, the margins at that Top 10 cut line are miniscule, making the decisions especially difficult.
Rather than making the difficult decisions ourselves, what better way to celebrate so many of the great dunks we saw during this Division III basketball season than to put the final two spots up for grabs in a fan vote? That’s right, while eight spots have been claimed, the last two spots in this season’s Top 10 video will be determined by the #d3hoops community.
We have put together a special playlist of ten #d3dunks up for consideration for those final two spots with each “thumbs up” reaction on the YouTube Short being considered a vote. At the end of the voting period, the two with the highest number of thumbs ups will take spots nine and ten in the final Top 10 video.
Please note that clicking the “thumbs down” button on any video will not act as a vote against as winners will not be determined based on the difference between up and down reactions.
Go check out all ten #d3dunks in the final vote and give any or all of them vote by clicking that 👍 button on the YouTube video! Voting will run through Sunday, May 11 at 11:59 pm ET.
