This was nothing compared to VC over Zo.

I’ve done dunks on my Nerf hoop that make this look like a Berry family dunk contest.

However, I think the dunk has to be discounted somewhat for the fact that he kind of lifted himself further in the air off of Perkins.

Nobody air lifted off opponents better than Tom Chambers. No one denies this!

Can’t be an offensive foul. Griffin left his feet in the restraining circle and his hands aren’t vertical. Way too much body contact to override any “push off” you may be arguing for.

I agree with you. However, I think the dunk has to be discounted somewhat for the fact that he kind of lifted himself further in the air off of Perkins.

Every dunk I like is better than the dunks you like. And the dunks you like? They aren’t even fucking dunks!!!

It’s the only argument I need, Shawn.

Not a dunk. And it was an offensive foul on Griffin.

To play devil’s advocate, dunks do happen in EVERY NBA game. And you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a YouTube video of Blake Griffin dunking on someone. Regardless, the chest puffing is high comedy.

got a chuckle out of me

It was a nice throw shot.

this. Shawn Kemp points and laughs at these "dunks" you guys keep posting. Wake me up when he "grabs" the rim on one of these dunks./so does Vince Carter

This is actually more impressive athletically than a “dunk”. You need to be able to get pretty damn high to throw a ball into a hoop.

Here is a more impressive dunk.And he doesn't get anywhere above the rim.

Speaking of fouls… if Perk doesn’t deliver a clean, hard foul on Mr. Griffin the next time these two teams play, I will be disappointed in young Kendrick. Blake took some of your pride. Send a message that it’ll be a little bit more costly next time if he tries to do this again.

Did he get a free throw attempt after this? There was definitely a foul on somebody on this play. Too much contact for there not to be.

He honestly does shove Perkins out of the way.

Impressive display of athleticism that not many people could duplicate.

I am torn on wanting the Clippers to have success, however, as long as Donald Sterling is breathing oxygen. I like seeing a downtrodden franchise get well, but I hate seeing Donald Sterling be successful.

Impressive display of athleticism that not many people could duplicate. That’s what I think of this dunk. Would still rather have a Kevin Love type player than a Blake Griffin though.

Given that Blake Griffin is just Tyrus Thomas 2.0, that’s a given, right?
