Boima may not have made it back to the NBA, but he’s getting close to being back on an NBA court.
Right now, he’s a semi-finalist in a dunk contest sponsored by FOX 9 and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
If he finishes in the top 3 in voting, he’ll get to compete during a Wolves timeout for the title of “Best Amateur Dunker in Minnesota”.
Help him get there by voting here…
Here is the best part…
When you vote, you qualify for the chance to win free tickets to Timberwolves games, Wolves merchandise and…
The chance to shoot a 3-pointer during a Wolves timeout and win even more great prizes!
So, help Boima out, and maybe even win free stuff.
