For anyone here who follows basketball you know who Blake Griffin is...for those who don't, this guy can jump out of the roof.  Dropped 44 on the Knicks in a loss this night...

I love him! (no homo) but i was so happy to see him leave OU
Think about how his older brother must feel to be shitty and have that as a younger brother... Genes are unkind some times.

Different positions brotha, much more versatile.  But doesn't have the presence of Dwight yet, i agree with that.

Carter's the biggest softy the NBA has ever seen! Don't get me wrong the guy can jump but come on.  Griffin is a rookie, 6'10 and can run the floor like a guard.  Vince Carter has had some spectacular dunks, but Griffin will surpass him with time.  No doubt about it.

Hell yeah!

Glad to see someone understands what I said, most people don't realize he is still a rookie!

Plus he's on a good team, and doing good. John Wall is on a shitty team, doing a good job......

I agree with all of your comments besides the fact that the LA Clippers, the team Griffin plays for, are literally the worst team in the NBA with a record of 1-13.

This.

OP your thread title was 'best dunker of last decade' that title clearly goes to vince carter

Is/will blake be a better player than carter? I think so, but no one can touch carters dunking ability that dude was insane he just floated

blake griffin is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch. every game is a highlight real and he has some of the most ridiculous NBA dunks I've seen.

Now if you want to see some dunks that will blow your mind, check this out.

All right, haha, yeah they are, but, I should have said that differently, the Wizards literally base their team around John Wall, while the Clippers don't base their team/offense around Blake, and, I think by the end of the season the Clippers will have a better record than the Wizards, maybe. Haha

there's a difference in the kind of dunks blake griffin does compared to a vince carter dunk. power vs. style

actually i do

let me guess your favorite team is the heat?



They are a good team, maybe their record doesn't show it, but they have solid players, and overall their team is good. They are missing a high scoring guard, I mean Baron Davis and Eric Gordon both good, but not a go to every time type of player


Oh and my favorite team is the Hawks, and I watch almost every game they play. On average out of 82 I'll watch at least 50 (last year in the 50 range before playoffs). But you're right, I know nothing about basketball

touche


they are good, just not at winning, i'm sure you see my point

another example is detroit. they suck but have a good team but dont win.....villanueva is a beast (look at his career high, his rookie year, wtf), ben gordon is ben gordon, prince, Hamilton, BWallace, T-mac......

but yet they suck at winning, but still a good team


Washington has a shitty team and can't win...... that's the point i was trying to make i guess

I don't like him, but stat wise, besides griffen, he's one of the better rookies

I hope he doesn't win it though

4 years ago, in game, pre-knee injury, josh smith had no fear, would try dunking over anyone, he didn't care



(sarcasm meter on)

Yao and Vlade Divac are the two best dunkers to ever walk this planet

Teams aren't good unless they win games. Maybe they're not living up to their potential, or have some potential, but by no means are the Clippers or Pistons (the only player I'd even want from the Pistons is Stuckey and you forgot him, and maybe Villanueva and Gordon for a championship team) good.

Teams can be good and not win if the score is close

I'm not saying Detroit is a championship team, hell no, and I'm not a fan of them, what I'm saying is, compare their team to say the Knicks. The Knicks have a horrible team, except....Amare. He is there go to player, their franchise player, their hope. Blake is not that for the Clippers, but yet he's putting up numbers like he could.

And Stuckey, I'm not impressed by his play. Sure he averages probably over 15 (I'm just guessing) but its not impressive, or at least in the few games I've watched of the Pistons.

An impressive player to watch (not on the pistons, just in general) that isn't considered real good is Jarret Jack. He can put on a show and lead his team single handed to a W sometimes. Not all the time, which is why he isn't known as a great player, and not showcased on ESPN for 3 hours like the superstars are.
