Los Angeles Clippers: Top 5 Blake Griffin Dunks

5. The Steal, The Lob, The Jam

Blake Griffin probably fouled J.R. Smith on this play, but that isn’t really important. What’s important is that Griffin gets to use the length of the court as his runway. Chris Paul throws the ball to about rim level and almost directly above the dotted line.

In nearly any situation, that is an egregiously awful pass. When Blake Griffin is there to catch it, however, the pass somehow works.

Griffin is almost at eye level with the rim when he catches the ball and is still beyond the restricted area. He somehow manages to catch the ball at full extension and demolish the rim on his way back down.

Catching this pass alone was an impressive feat; being able to throw it down this hard afterward was just an added bonus.

This dunk is probably the least well-known of the dunks on this list, but that speaks more to how underrated it is than anything else.

‘s very similar dunk is one of the featured dunks in any of his massive highlight reels:

Vince’s dunk is probably more impressive than Blake’s. Still, if you watch the two one after the other, they aren’t all that different. If Vince’s can be called the “Best Alley-Oop Dunk of All-Time” then Blake’s very similar one deserves to at least make his personal top five.
