Blake Griffin Jumps Over a Car to Win the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest

In what was one of the most entertaining dunk contests in recent memory (go away Nate Robinson), Blake Griffin took home the title after he jumped over a car to throw down an alley-oop from teammate Baron Davis.

Amazingly, this was one of the least impressive dunks of the night. I won’t knock Griffin, as he deserved to win (that elbow dunk was sick), but my favorite dunk of the night was DeMar DeRozan’s “Showstopper.”

JaVale McGee put up a good fight, but I think DeRozan should have been in the final round against Griffin, who was going to win no matter what happened because of the NBA’s asinine fan voting system.
