Honorable Mentions: The Best of 2016-17

A true honorable mentions list of Blake Griffin dunks could go on for days. Even a list of his best dunks this season would be quite impressive. Two dunks stood out in terms of ferocity and importance to the team. The first is the massive hammer over Draymond Green shown above.

The Golden State Warriors are basically everybody’s rival, but they have particularly bad blood with the Clippers. A couple of bad recent losses by the Clippers have diminished the rivalry somewhat, but Blake is clearly not backing down.

He even adds a little shove and stare-down after the play to increase the disrespect level. After all, it’s pretty hard to root for Draymond if you don’t live in the Bay Area.

Next up is the dunk that inspired this article, a posterization of

Miles Plumlee

. Blake seemed rather eager to welcome Plumlee to his new home in Charlotte:

This dunk would be on the top-five list for most NBA players, but Blake is not most NBA players. Still, this dunk is a very positive sign in a series of positive signs after his return from injury.

These two dunks might not be among his five best, but that says more about his best dunks than these two vicious posters.
