Blake Griffin throws down best NBA dunk of year on Kendrick Perkins Jan. 30, 2012

LeBron's was better IMO. I hate these kind of "dunks". He didn't even grab the rim c'mon man. Wasn't impressed with Dwight's superman dunk or Griffin's on Mosgov and not now. If he actually dunked the ball and grabbed the rim this would of been the best of the year but the fact that he threw the ball? :no:

I think Blake is a smaller Kemp.

He touched the rim as the ball went through. That's a dunk.

He tipped it with his finger. Doesn't count for me. He clearly threw the ball in. But it's cool if everyone wants to drool over this just not my type of "dunk".

to much hype...

[QUOTE=BGriffin's Dad]what'd ya know... the two biggest homers on ISH, pauk and 32dayz, trying to downplay the greatest dunk of the season by blake and inflate a run-of-the-mill dunk by lebron

:lol[/QUOTE]
to be honest both were good dunks Blakes just had more oomph and was seriously Nasty. It was like the Shawn Kemp dunk on Lister or Gatling. I dont know why were even arguing about this they were both good dunks Blakes was just better

Blake Griffins was better than Lebrons to me. Not by a long shot but it's close. It really is an opinion rather than fact. Throwing it in from a far distance over a 6'10" almost 280 pound center is difficult. Most players would have that ball bounce off the back iron. Not taking anything away from LB's at all, I guess I prefer "in your face" statement type dunks.

[QUOTE=Alamo]I'm sorry, but anyone who says Lebron's dunk was better is just plain crazy. They were both amazing dunks, but Griffin's is the dunk of the year. Even Lebron thinks so.[/QUOTE]
Off an alley oop jumps over someone's head still finds a way to keep his balance and throws it down. vs Pick & roll facial dunk on Perkins ... I'll take the the guy who jumps on people's head anyday of my life.

Most fans prefer a contact facial over a feat of athleticism catching a player off guard. Which is why all the top dunks in NBA history are contact flushes.

Bron Tweeted that Griffin's was the best

and Bron is correct

It was a 5'10" midget scrub.
He wasn't looking.
LeBron jumped around him, not over him.

Jesus christ.

Jumped over him...go and look again

Let's set the bickering aside, both Griffin and Lebron are freaks of nature, the next evolution of basketball players. I'm obviously Kobe fan but I have to give credit to both those guys......that big, strong and fierce....wow.
Those guys would've scored 200 points in a game if they played in the 60's like Wilt.....and that's no insult to Wilt.

Too far?

Captain Planet would be a sick nickname! Nice job CJ Miles. :applause:

Ok, so explain this to me...

Dwight does it in dunk contest... people call it a layup...

Blake does it in a game... best dunk of the year? LMAO. Pricks.

Anyways, very impressive dunk by Blake.

Are people really serious with this? This dunk isn't even top 10 this week. I can't believe there's this much hype over such a mediocre dunk. It's debatable whether it's even a dunk. Ridiculous

Howard threw the ball in from 5 feet away or more bro. Griffin's fingers hit rim.... completely different animal. Dwight also didn't do this over a very aggressive and good post defender who tried to contest. Nice try though!

Yes, because throwing it DOWNWARD while FURTHER AWAY FROM THE HOOP is LESS impressive. Clearly. Idiot.

Blake might have a higher vert but he can't reach higher than Dwight can.

I agree with Shogon here.

please :facepalm

btw I understand though some of you feel "hot cake already cold" syndrome, I maybe would not think the dunk is that great after seeing million people hype him n just seeing it on youtube days later.

But man.. seeing its live, just..

Of course not. Dwight has a monster reach/wingspan and a nearly equal vert. Not saying it wasn't impressive. You basically said what's the big deal, Dwight did this... which is WRONG. Dwight never went over a defender like this who was contesting the dunk. Hell Dwight has never had a dunk on this level period.

This is on the level of Wilkins, Kemp, Jordan and Carter. Griffin is in that tier of dunkers, Dwight isn't.

Huge, HUGE difference between doing it in the middle of an NBA game and an exhibition where you have all your energy and fresh legs. Kobe last year in the all-star game looked like he was 25 again.

Amare Stoudemire on the dunk: [B]"It was better than the Mozgov dunk. I said Mozgov will now sleep. He can get some rest now."[/B]

:roll: poor Mozzy.

Blake Griffin needs a nickname. The forum should do a thread about what would be the nickname of Griffin again. Captain Planet would be one.

To be fair, "Rim Reaper" sounds like the nickname of a terribly well-endowed gay porn actor.

Kevin Durant is salty! :roll:

[B]"I have no appreciation for it at all," said Perkins' Thunder teammate Kevin Durant. "It was a layup, I think. He threw the ball in and got fouled and made his free throw, so it was three points at the end of the day, no matter how it happened, how it went in the basket. I really wasn't impressed. He finished it. So what? We've moved on."[/B]

What the hell do you expect him to say? That's his teammate, AND they lost the game.
