If we were in season, I wouldn't post an NBA highlight...but this board has been full of a lot of bad news lately. It could be worse, we could be Kendrick Perkins.
I'm not sure why sometimes embeds work in the initial post of a thread...other times they don't. But here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w_Vy0lDk_A&feature=g-logo&context=G2cba001FOAAAAAAAAAA
Embed is below.
...Sigh, there are few words in the English language that can accurately describe that "dunk."
Anyone know why sometimes...

I am...
I switch to plain text editor and paste the embed code...just as I did above.
I'm not sure if it's because I have text typed in the "rich text" editor beforehand or what. It's weird.

It'd have to not be in the middle of any of that.
I'd say after you paste it, go back to rich text, and see if the little box for the video shows up. If that looks good (it usually won't show the actually video, just the red frame), you're probably good to go.

Shit.
I wish Jordan Morgan could finish like that.
HEY! You there!

It could be worse for Kendrick Perkins too. He could be Alex Carder and Griffin could be Jordan Kovacs.

Good point

Serious question:
Is it
Serious question:
Is it really a dunk when you heave it from a foot away? Impressive but kinda meh at the same time.
His hand scrapes the rim
meh?
I had to watch it to the last replay
I can see it both ways...he does get some hand on the rim, but he is kinda throwing it in. But it's almost like an above the rim jump hook type thing. He is kinda throwing it in. Impressive, but I'm not sure a DUNK of the impressive nature the media is making it out to be.

I don't care
I love watchin Griffin play. I'd hate to see the guy runnin at me with the ball. Nobody else does whatever you want to call that. He's done it a few times now. I don't really care what you call it, I still think it's pretty damn impressive.
I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.
Yeah I mena like I said, I
Yeah I mena like I said, I find it impressive. Griffin's a beast no doubt. I just don't get the media (and everyone else) blowing a load over this. To each their own I suppose?
and the 30+ thousand
that watched it first hand, they seem to blow a load to. Bottom line, it was sick
I guess...
When you have to use your opponent's head for leverage - how impressive is it? That's still a foul to me, but then I'm a bit old school. I agree - this didn't deserve a post.
Should we point instead of fist pump during the Victors?
Maybe if Perkins wasn't still
Maybe if Perkins wasn't still moving into him I'd agree but as it stands, I think it was a good no call
Alright, Debbie...

I'll thank the OP.
I don't really follow the NBA so I appreciate the post, that was definitely worth seeing. And whoever doesn't think that was impressive is just nuts.

Same goes for the Dwight Howard Superman Dunk
When is a "dunk" a dunk?

It's not Blake's Fault
It's not Blake's fault that the rim is too low for him to dunk it normal.

I liked Lebron's alley-oop
I liked Lebron's alley-oop dunk better. He literally jumped over a guys head to finish the play
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
i once saw an amazing Griffin
i once saw an amazing Griffin dunk where he scored by shooting the ball up in the air towards the basket from behind the arch, thereby allowing the ball to fall from the air into the net without even touching the rim
the refs were apparently so impressed that they awarded him 3 points instead of the usual 2 that he gets for most dunks

This is the proper way to question whether a shot is or is not an official dunk..
+1 (and a lol) to you sir.
Of course I think the more important thing here is the Griffin wiped his junk on Perkins face on the way to a hoop. Pretty sure KP isn't going on the air to argue dunk or no dunk. Pretty sure he would like this to just go away.
Go Blue!

Definitely a dunk, and probably the 2nd best dunk of all time to me, only behind Vince Carter disgracing the whole country of France in the 2000 Olympics.
Yeah, it's hard to imagine
Yeah, it's hard to imagine anyone ever topping the Olympics dunk. I'm picturing Frederic Weis sitting in the corner of a room right now, holding his knees and rocking back and forth, mumbling something about getting his feet set for the charge.

the only charge I saw on that dunk was VC's testes slapping Weis in the face
ALL ABOARD THE A-TRAIN!!!!!

Vince's dunk is impressive
as he manages to teabag a man taller than him. Although he does forearm bitch-slap the guy which should probably be a foul.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
I'd never seen that one...
That. Is. Insane.
Blake
I'm pretty sure he did something similar to Novak a couple years ago. He does something like that almost every game. And what Blake is to the dunk, DeAndre Jordan is for the blocked shot. It's fun to be a Clippers fan, for the first time, ever.
On Novak, big deal
We still beat won that game.

It got Novak a nice interview in SI last February for the "Blake Griffin's Poster Boys" article. He comes off as a great sport.
Yeah I guess I don't really
Yeah I guess I don't really get it? It's a good play that he made it but I'm not sure where dunk comes in. Semantics I guess but it could just be that I'm tired of seeing 8 dunks on SC's top 10 plays when there's much cooler plays going on.
For the record...
I can dunk a basketball...I couldn't IMAGINE trying to throw the ball into the rim like Dwight Howard OR Blake Griffin (who does get a little rim).
That is WAY harder than dunking a ball, you have to jump way higher and you could easily miss because you're coming down so hard.
LeBron's was sick, this was just the same...and if you have a chance, turn your speakers all the way up. It sounds so much better. Very Pippen/Ewing.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
I give credit to Perkins for controlling himself.
I did that exact dunk on my 7 yr old daughter an hour ago and she's still in tears.
Love & Hate are horns on the same goat.
I'm not impressed at all
He's 6'10" 250. Now if he were 6'2" and dunked over a 6'10" man, then I guess I'd be impressed.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...

Jordan had a dunk on Mourning that was pretty damn impressive.
