The above is a piece of art by Blake Griffin, NBA star Power Forward of the Los Angeles Clippers.
In one of the most electrifying and
humiliating (for Kendrick Perkins) dunks in recent history, 2011 Sprite Slam
Dunk Champion Blake Griffin runs a perfect pick-and-roll play with NBA star
Point Guard Chris Paul on Oklahoma City Thunder Guard Russel Westbrook and
Power Forward Serge Ibaka, leaving Center Kendrick Perkins to brace the impact
of what many players and fans have called the "best dunk EVER."
Blake
Griffin is a professional basketball player who played college basketball for
the University of Oklahoma. Griffin was one of the most highly touted prospects
coming out of high school, and in his freshman year at Oklahoma, he averaged
14.7 points and 9.1 rebounds in only 28 minutes per game. His season was ended by MCL sprains in both
knees (in succession), but bounced back in his sophomore season to average 22.7
points, 14.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game on his way to winning all six
national player of the year awards.
Following his sophomore season,
he declared for the NBA draft and was taken first overall by the Los Angeles
Clippers. In yet another stroke of bad luck, Griffin injured his kneecap during
his final preseason game and was forced to sit out the 2009-2010 season. Since returning from his injury, Griffin has
played at an All-Star caliber level while maintaining his health and avoiding
any major injury. Even though he lacks a refined post game and is nearly
invisible on defense, Griffin has unmistakably changed the Clippers franchise.
In the 2011-2012 season (essentially his rookie
year), Griffin recorded monster averages of 22.5 PPG (points per game), 12.1
RPG (rebounds per game), and 3.8 APG (assists per game) while shooting an
average 50% from the field in 38 MPG (minutes per game). Those numbers have
since taken a slight dip with the arrival of guards Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford,
Chauncy Billups and center Deandre Jordan, but Griffin has nonetheless proven
to be one of the most lethal big men in the NBA because of his incredible
athleticism and improving perimeter shooting.
All I can say: GODAYUUUMMM
