Blake Griffin Dunk: Nuggets Can't Stop 'Monster Jam' From Clippers Star (VIDEO)

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard may be the NBA player with the Superman costume in his closet and retired NBA legend Shaq may be the big man with the Supe ink. But is there anyone currently leaping tall post players in a single bound these days quite like Blake Griffin?

On Wednesday night, Griffin flew through the air to deliver his latest highlight reel flush of the season. Rather than simply Perking a single opponent, Griffin upped the degree of difficulty by lifting off just a stride inside in the free throw line and dunking over a pair of Denver Nuggets players (with a third clearing out of the way so as not to be pictured in any ensuing posters).

These two fearsome points pulled the Clippers within a single point of the Nuggets. Los Angeles would go on to win 103-95. Basketball fans, meanwhile, would go on to be certain that any slam dunk contest without Griffin is one that will not be nearly as entertaining as the average midweek Clippers game.

As is generally the case whenever Blake does what Blake does, Twitter took note. Here are a few of the memorable tweets about his performance:

Hide your kids, hide your wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow...

I watched it three times just to appreciate the depth of the Paul's deception and the incredibly quick and accurate behind the back pass after having drawn two defenders off to the side. I suspected I'd be the only one commenting on the pass rather than the dunk, but both you and Holly are on it. So many are overwhelmed by a dunk; it's almost as if Magic had never played and re-taught the league the excitement value of the pass.

Two comments...

1. That pass from Chris Paul was STELLAR!

This got 22 comments, Lin got 240 for a 17 point game.

Blake Griffin was a first round pick in the draft. Lin was un drafted and let go by two teams. Notice the difference?

How is that a monster jam? The defender got there too late from the side. It's not like Griffin went through him.

[jswift1121]

Dude jumped from just inside the foul line and dunked on 3 Nuggets players. That is a monster jam.

Dunkin Donuts, you should have this man as your spokesperson! Name a damn donut after him or something.

Yay, he can dunk, whopdee damn doo, can he hit the 17-foot jumper?

[96Bravo]

12:50 PM on 02/23/2012

Why should he when he can score 27 without hitting a jumper?

[james4truth1066]

good luck dunking 10 times a game when you hit 30 yrs old.

Nice dunk, but he's pretty reckless with 'em sometimes. The highlights are nice, but he's going to end up injured again if he doesn't tone it down a bit. That said, dude is a beast.

yeah, he looked like he could have really been hurt on that one.

This article isn't about the economy or people starving. This article is about a man putting a ball in a hoop, and I enjoyed it, thank you very much.
