Blake Griffin proves anti levitation dunk theorists wrong with… levitation dunk

Los Angeles Clippers ‘rookie’ Blake Griffin and former number one overall pick is quickly reminding the NBA that though he took a year off to heal up his knee after an injury last year sidelined him for the entire season, he’s still alive and ready to infiltrate ESPN’s Top 10 plays and make gravity his old maid as shown by his recent assault on the rims at Madison Square Garden. Though the Clippers lost the affair, because they’re the Clippers you see, Griffin popped in 44 points including two noticeably reverberating dunks that sent the internet in a tizzy that could have spread to the mainstream if anybody still watches regular season NBA games anymore. Time to figure out how to lace your rims with that the stuff Wolverine’s bones are made out of, basketball.

Blake Griffin received plenty of accolades for his dunk against the Knicks on Saturday night, but he probably didn’t think that his opponents would be among those praising him.

“That was actually incredible,” Amar’e Stoudemire said after the game. “That was a play that definitely sparked the crowd and sparked us. We weren’t expecting that. I’ve had a few of those in my career, so I can understand the feeling he’s going through right now. I’ve been in those shoes before.”

The dunk, over the head of Timofey Mozgov, gave Griffin three of his 44 points, as he earned, and sunk, the accompanying foul shot.
