NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011: Blake Griffin's User Submitted Dunk


NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011: Event Info, Dunk Highlights, and More
This year, in a further attempt to get the fans to be an even bigger part of the dunk contest, ESPN started an initiative asking fans to videotape their own dunks for Blake Griffin to try.
The dunk that he seemed to like the most was the second to last dunk in the video above, which is a slick looking behind-the-back-360. Pretty simple right.
Blake definitely has the hops to get up in the air long enough to do something like that, but he hasn't really demonstrated the amount of body and ball control that may be needed to pull that one off. If he can do it, it will be quite impressive.
I'm looking forward to the user dunk that he tries, whether it is the one he chose in the video or something else, and I would like to see this trend of user-submitted dunks continue, but get all four contestants involved, and have each of them try one.
