The good folks at ThinkTank Marketing has linked up with your favorite site to provide two lucky New York residents each a pair of passes to attend the screening for Lebron James’ More Than A Game film this Wednesday. What do you have to do to win? Simple: answer this question first:

Who were the victims (all three) of Knicks guard John Starks’ “The Dunk?”

Be the first two people to email me the correct answer and you’ll win passes for the screening. One email per person, please. If you flood my email like a few jackasses have done in the past, you’ll be relegated to my spam folder, essentially voiding each and every other chance you have at any future contests. Non-New Yorkers, have no fear: tomorrow will be the contest for those that live in Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and DC. Speaking of 2003 NBA Draft alumni, check out Carmelo Anthony’s newest spot on the Internets. UPDATE: Contest done. The answer I was looking for was BJ Armstrong (who was trying to guard Starks), and Michael Jordan and Horace Grant (who Starks dunked on).

So the good folks at Universal have commissioned us to grant this very site to bless three lucky visitors with memorabilia from CuDi’s tour earlier this year, and one person with an autographed skatedeck from the guy himself. How to win? Simple. Be the first four people to email me under the title “A (2)DoPe KiD CuDi CoNtEsT.” One entry per person; if you email me some wild amount of times you’ll be relegated to my spam mail, thus ending any and every other chance you’d get to enter any future contests. I’ll randomly choose who wins the skatedeck from those lucky four. Sounds simple right? Check out pictures of the prizes below. UPDATE: Contest done. Interesting how everyone’s our friends when it comes to these things…

And the skatedeck…
