NBA Slam Dunk Contest: Blake Griffin Jumps Over a Car

[ommy48]

well he is going to be the next big thing like lbj. He is averaging 23 points and 12 rebounds per game as a rookie with a 47 point game. Lebron averaged 20 as a rookie, kobe averaged 8 and michael jordan averaged 23.4 points per game so blake will probably hit that

wtf MJ averaged 23.4 PPG as a rookie? Since when???

Not to be rude but the real MJ avg'd 28.2 PPG and Blake ain't going to touch that, nor will any rookie in the near future.

griffin just had the swagger and power to his dunks...thats what makes a dunk contest winner, same as the ones dwight howard and vince carter used to do. i wasnt impressed with the 3 ball dunk cuz it was all 3 easy dunks, he just did them quick AND he held on to the rim a little longer. Mcgee's best dunk was the backward slam as he was goin away from the basket.

Dude Blake did Vince's dunk, you cant compare Blake to guys like him who have their own signature dunks.

Ya but blake's was much nicer and u cant blame that on time, alot of the good dunks have already been done so as time goes by it gets harder to come up with original ones

[ShahHouman]

there's little more these guys can do without props, so they have to use em

Plus, the dunk contest is about dunks that we would never see in a game, so adding props and hypin up their dunks is all the contest is about. So for Blake Griffin to have a car and a choir is all presentation, show business and hype, what this contest is about. After his dunk, did you see how that other dunk was so boring?

80% of his points are dunks he needs some post moves and a mid range jumpshot

TRUE! Although todays nba is not so much about jump shots but rather easy baskets...i think more than half the league cant even shoot decent jump shots

DeMar DeRozan got robbed.

This props in the dunk contest is LAME. Did Vince need props? Did Jordan need props? Did Dominique need props?

Read the latest article on Demar's denunciation of props. And look at the beauty of this dunk in slow motion!!
