Blake Griffin Video: Watch Kendrick Perkins Get Mozgov'd in Lob City
Remember that time Blake Griffin threw down a thunderous dunk on Timofey Mozgov?
Well, he did it again, this time to Kendrick Perkins.
If you happened to miss it, you're in luck. We have the video, and we're willing to share. Direct your eyes to the box above this text and click play.
As you will see, Griffin took a bounce pass from Chris Paul just outside the paint and took to the air right right away. Perkins tried to get in the way, even going so far as to put his hand directly in Griffin's face, but Griffin slammed it down anyway.
And one. There was much rejoicing in the Staples Center.
Even LeBron James approved. He tweeted this immediately after he saw it:
"Dunk of the Year!! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!! Wow!! I guess I'm #2 now. Move over #6
"
Humility from the King? That's how we know Griffin's dunk was awesome.
I'll give Perkins credit for trying. Most other guys simply would have gotten out of the way, but Perkins isn't like that. He's typically not one to get dunked on, and he very nearly stopped Griffin from dunking this time.
Alas, Perkins just didn't have enough girth. He never should have lost all that weight. The fat Perkins would have stopped Griffin cold.
At first glance it looked like Griffin's fingers never actually made contact with the rim. But upon further review, they did. This was a dunk, fair and square. We don't have to debate whether or not this was a dunk, like we did with the Mozgov "dunk."
But since Griffin is the only guy who can throw down "dunks" like this, maybe it's time to consider naming them after him.
Griffins? Blakes? Kia Optimas?
If you've got a suggestion, by all means share it in the comments section.
