Blake Griffin Missed Dunk: Clippers Star Fails On Wide Open Slam (VIDEO)

Blake Griffin misses a wide open dunk.

This doesn't happen very often. Wait, has this ever happened? We all know Blake Griffin has missed a dunk before. In fact, here are 10 missed dunks by the Clippers phenom. But has he ever missed one on a fast break with literally nobody around him?

That's what happened Thursday night in the first quarter of Los Angeles' win over Minnesota. Kenyon Martin had grabbed a defensive rebound and quickly fired a pass to Chris Paul. It looked like the Clippers were going to have a 3-on-1 fast break but Minnesota's Michael Beasley went for the steal and failed, allowing CP3 to tap the ball to Griffin for a wide open dunk.

Clank.

Griffin missed the dunk, leaving both the Timberwolves crowd and even the announcers in confusion.

Griffin is a good dunker but also the most overrated player in the NBA. He has zero post moves and can't score other then in the open court or off the rebound dunk or tip.

The wide open, undefended, missed dunk is, perhaps, the most satisfying play in all of sports.
