Best Dunk Ever? Not to me, but its stil pretty good



While everyone is focused on the Super Bowl, last night Blake Griffin probably had the best dunk of his career. For me, this dunk moves into my top ten of all-time, with the greatest being Vince Carter jumping over Frederic Weis in the Olympics (when somebody else jumps over a 7-footer then I'll replace Vince's dunk. The reason why this dunk is so significant is because of two reasons: 1. The Oklahoma City Thunder has the league's best record but the one area that they can be exposed is on the defensive end of the floor. 2. Perkins is supposed to be the team's primary defensive stopper and that dunk takes some of his stature down a few pegs. Yes I know not every team has a Griffin, but what most teams saw was the way the Clippers attacked the the Thunder on the wings and in the playoffs those areas can be exploited more. The Clippers sent a strong message to the Thunder and the rest of the West by winning that game and Griffin's dunk put the rest of the league on notice that there is a new and younger team in Los Angeles to be reckoned with. Now, where is Frederic Weis so we can see if Blake can do the same thing Vince did:)
