Blake Griffin turns 29: 5 Greatest Dunks of his career so far

#2 The Posterizing Dunk with the insane vertical

The extension. The vertical. It just looks superhuman and remember, this was only his rookie season. It was just the 14th NBA game of Griffin's career.

Timofey Mozgov is a more than capable center height wise (7'1"), he's definitely no pushover, so there is a huge physical element Griffin needed to overcome and yet he made it seem effortless. In fact, if you look at the video carefully, it appears as if Griffin midway through the dunk palms Mozgov's head and uses the physical contact to jump even higher.

This game was just a short yet explosive preview of what Griffin was going to do all through rookie season. He was a unanimous selection for the Rookie of the Year award, a season that had him dunk 214 times.
