Los Angeles Clippers: Top 5 Blake Griffin Dunks

3. NBA Street Comes To Life

This is what happens when you pair one of the most creative ball-handlers ever with one of the best dunkers ever. Jamal Crawford throws one of the most ridiculous alley-oop passes in NBA history and Blake responds with a very impressive dunk.

The fact that Crawford even considered this play is incredible. Putting the ball between his legs would have been incredible by itself, but he actually lobs the ball to himself before he puts it between his legs and then lobs it a second time to Blake.

Crawford is a master of improvisation with the ball in his hands, but even for him this move was almost inconceivably absurd.

If any other combination of players attempted this, they might both have spent the rest of the season on the bench.  Since it was Blake and Jamal, it instead enters the canonical alley-oop highlight reel.

This dunk would not be in the top five if not for Crawford’s between the legs move before the pass. With it, however, this might be the single flashiest play of the decade so far. The dunk is a very solid windmill and Blake throws it down pretty hard.

Still, the jam itself isn’t quite spectacular enough to top either of the next two on this list.
