Blake Griffin literally leaped to victory tonight, walking away as the 2011 All-Star Slam Dunk contest winner by making his dunk while jumping over a car. Get the deets and see the video inside...
LA Clippers star, Blake Griffin, beat out Washington's Javale McGee in the final of the 2011 All-Star Slam Dunk contest. Earlier in the Saturday evening broadcast on TNT, Blake said the hardest part of the contest was keeping it fresh and new, since most tricks had already been done. Still, he managed to shock and thrill the audience with his winning dunk.
With former NBA baller Kenny Smith as his mentor and hypeman, Blake paced around the floor as the Crenshaw Select Choir entered the court. Kenny took the microphone and got the audience excited about what was going to go down. .
As the choir got into formation, Kenny requested that a 2011 Kia Optima be driven onto the floor of the Staples Center.
Then in an amazing move, Blake started running towards the Kia and as he leaped in the air, he caught a pass from Clippers teammate Baron Davis, who was holding his hand out of the sunroof, and he dunked the ball as he jumped over the car. All of this happened as the choir sang "I Believe I Can Fly."
It was an amazing moment that will surely go down in All-Star history.
