Do you think your basketball shots are better than the legendary Harlem Globetrotters? If your answer is YES, submit a video of your most incredible shot and go head-to-head with the Harlem Globetrotters. The top videos will be picked on a weekly basis, based on fan voting!

If you're selected and get the most "Likes" for that week, you win a Spalding BEAST portable basketball system! Can you believe it?!

Fans who don't submit videos can still win Globetrotter tickets, autographed basketballs and other merchandise just for voting.

Every week is a new winner. Play to win AND vote to win.

You can beat the Globetrotters at their own game so don't hold back!
