Blake Griffin Dunks Over Tiger in Ad for Video Game ‘Rage’

We’ve seen Blake Griffin dunk over a Kia — technically for the sake of winning the Slam Dunk Contest, but mainly for the ensuing, clearly pre-planned commercial.

We’ve seen him dunk while downloading files to his smart phone.

Now, Blake is dunking over tigers — or at least CGI ones.

In his new ad for the video game Rage, Griffin lobbies the creators for days, setting up shop in the company parking lot as he campaigns for a role in the game.

To show how suited he is for video games, Blake throws on a motion-tracking bodysuit to do some tricks, with the coup de grace being a dunk over a tiger.

The commercial, of course, includes a “Do not attempt” disclaimer.
