LeBron James set the bar extremely high on Sunday by hurdling John Lucas to throw down a death defying alley-oop dunk in the Heat’s victory against the Bulls.
However, Blake Griffin of the L.A. Clippers may have topped James’ spectacular dunk.
During a game against the Oklahoma Thunder, Griffin took a pass from Chris Paul while driving to the lane. The only thing between Griffin and the basket was the 6-10 Kendrick Perkins. Griffin jumped and was fouled hard by Perkins while in mid-air. But instead of falling back, Griffin extended his arm and powered through to dunk over Perkins.
Athletes around the nation soon began to Tweet about Griffin’s dunk.
LeBron James:
“Dunk of the Year!! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!! Wow!! I guess I’m #2 now. Move over #6.”
Chris Paul:
“WoW!! Just saw @blakegriffin dunk from unite…What in the world!!! Glad he is on my team”
Terrell Owens:
“OMG!!! Who just saw the dunk by @blakegriffin on kendrick perkiness?!! This dude is a beast!!”
