I think that the Los Angeles Clippers’
Blake Griffin is a fantastic player and an even more spectacular dunker. I
thought his slam on Oklahoma’s Kendrick Perkins was similar to what he did to the
New York Knicks’ Timofey Mozgov – except his hands barely touched the rim! In
contrast, Vinsanity’s dunk of death on French center Frederick Weiss in the
Olympics was a death-defying rim rattler in every sense of the word. Ironically, Weiss was drafted by the New York Knicks in 1999 (the same year VC entered) but he never played in America.
Watch!!!!
And here are some parallelisms between
Vince Carter and Blake Griffin.
Vince
Carter
Entered the NBA in 1999
1999 NBA Rookie of the Year
2000 NBA Slam Dunk Champion (he won it
in his sophomore year as there was no All-Star Game in his first year that was
shortened by the strike)
18.3 ppg in rookie season
2005-06 led the New Jersey Nets to the
Atlantic Division title with Jason Kidd as point guard. They lost in the
Eastern semis to eventual NBA champion Miami.
Blake
Griffin
Entered the NBA in 2009
2011 NBA Rookie of the Year
2011 NBA Slam Dunk Champion
22.5 ppg in rookie season
This 2011-12 season will Blake Griffin
and Chris Paul lead the Los Angeles Clippers to the Pacific Division and
beyond? You think the NBA title will go through Miami this year?
Dr.J on a fastbreak, cradled the ball to serve a facial on Michael Cooper is 1 of the all time great dunks too
ReplyDeleteIn modern day basketball, that dunk by Vince Carter would've been called an as offensive foul... Refs these days...
