As many of us know Blake Griffin dunked over Kendrick Perkins Monday night in an NBA battle between The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder. This was the dunk heard around the world as Twitter exploded with tweets soon after it happened.
I like Blake Griffin and I've seen the dunk but come on in the end it's only two points and given the high level of athleticism of today's players that dunk was normal protocol. I guess what I'm saying is that everyone can dunk nowadays, some harder than others but everyone can dunk. So much so that I have become numb to the dunk. I know Griffins dunk was on a taller player that being Kendrick Perkins but what was Perkins to do, once Griffin left the ground it would have been useless to get in his way. Griffin just as any player leaving the ground first had the advantage. I want to see something new, maybe a player doing a front no-hand flip and dunking or something amazing like that. Somebody needs to dunk in a fashion that really sets them apart from the pack kinda like when Jordan jumped from the free throw line and dunked back in the day. Oh well that's my opinion and for the record I'm not a fan of either of these teams but I am a fan of the NBA so I'll continue to watch with the hope that one day I will see that dunk that knocks me out of seat and send me scrambling to my Twitter account.
