With the arrival of NBA stars in Brazil for the first time, basketball is under the spotlight in the Marvellous City. So, basketball players Marcelinho Machado and Irio Nunes issued a very special invitation to all the sport’s aficionados: to be part of an exclusive gallery that will gather the best basketball moves on the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games website.

Did you make an amazing move that you would like to show the world? In order to participate, simply send a video of you practising the sport to internet@rio2016.com. You can send us three-point field goals, free throws, slam dunks, alley-oops, blocks, dribbles, etc. The best videos will be posted on the rio2016.com website and on Rio 2016’s official Facebook page.
