If that's just about anyone else, it'd be impressive. That is nothing compared to his in game dunks.

In game, out of game, whatever.  It's pretty sick any way you slice it, and it happened today, so it just caught my attention.

I'm not poo poo-ing your post. My comment was more praise for how crazy athletic Griffin is.

You know, I'm not impressed with this one. It just looks good because he dunks with so much power, but it didn't seem like a difficult or impressive one for that matter.

Isn't that kinda, you know, the point?

It looks great, but from the standpoint of trick dunks, or from the standpoint of a slam dunk contest, I wouldn't care much for it.

All I can attribute to it is that he's a good dunker and looks awesome doing it, but I'm simply not wowed by the degree of difficulty that accompanies it.

Not bad, however yet again another dunk that isn't really a dunk. I for one am tired of them calling a "forceful" hook shot a dunk. If you aren't close enough to at least put a little bit of your hand on the rim then it isn't a dunk.

While we are on the topic, I also think that his dunk over the front end of the KIA in the dunk contest is the absolute worst dunk that I have ever seen in it. (Other than maybe the dunk at the end of the clock that someone had to do because they had no chance of their creation going down on the first or second try, let alone the 8th or ninth when they've lost all energy) The hood of that Kia is about 3 1/2 feet high.  With his legs tucked up at the knee he only has to get about 2 feet off the ground! Then he takes off about 3 feet inside the free throw line. Absolutely nothing for him.

Don't get me wrong. The guy can fly. I agree with the poster above though that his most impressive dunks are in game action. These aren't much.

Well I hope someday I could do a forceful hook shot too!

LOL! Not saying I can do it either, however it isn't a dunk. I'd much rather be able to shoot like Ray though if I had to pick something. Lot longer career that way!
