The Griffin

With all due respect to Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp and Dominique Wilkins, Blake Griffin has the chance to be the best in-game dunker of all-time. If we were to countdown the top ten of the year so far, I’m not sure anyone else would even be included. Maybe Eric Gordon, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and JR Smith.

But Blake gets the six other spots, most recently for this “Oh crap I better duck before I concuss myself on the rim” throw down. And when you consider that he also not long ago had these three alley-oops all in one game, it’s really hard to make an argument that he doesn’t deserve 20 dunks in the top ten. On this planet right now, there isn’t another player with more oh-my-god-ability. Or godability.

Also … Nice decision, Brad Miller. I’m not sure if you tried to jump and just can’t any longer or if you consciously stayed on the floor, but you just saved yourself a little embarrassment.

Known Associates: Brad Miller, Clippers, Eric Gordon, James Harden, JR Smith, Russell Westbrook, The Griffin
