Blake Griffin Dunk Fest

It does not come as a surprise, Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has been named NBA’s Rookie of the Year.

After missing all of last year with a broken kneecap, Blake Griffin, the No. 1 draft pick out of Oklahoma in 2009, easily led all rookies in scoring and rebounding this season. Griffin averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists while playing in all 82 games and earning a reputation as one of the NBA’s most fearsome dunkers, with his alley-oop slams and one-handed jams making highlight reels nightly.

Blake Griffin also made the West All-Star team, becoming the first rookie All-Star since Yao Ming, and also won the All-Star dunk contest in front of his Staples Center fans with an iconic dunk while flying over a car.

Griffin had 63 double-doubles for the season He is also NBA’s fourth-leading rebounder and the 12th-leading scorer— the only rookie among the league’s top 45 scorers and top 20 rebounders.

Blake Griffin had a very stellar rookie season after missing his supposed first season with a busted kneecap.

Congratulations Blake Griffin for winning the NBA's Rookie of the Year award.

If you have been living under a rock, Blake Griffin won the 2011 Sprite Slam Dunk contest as part of the 2011 NBA All-Star festivities.

He was against tough competition specially with very innovative and sick dunks from Ibaka, Derozan and McGee.

Blake Griffin may have run out of props for the Slam Dunk Contest so he goes to the extreme. He lets out a KIA car, positions it under the rim, he takes a lob from Baron Davis from the sunroof while the choir is singing in the background, he gets the ball in the air and stuffs it!

Here is a video of Blake Griffin dunking over a car during the final round of the 2011 NBA All-Star Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.



Now, here is the video in real slow-mo. Enjoy the build-up to the "over the car" dunk by Blake Griffin.
