Blake Griffin became a household name due to his vicious, high-flying slam dunks. And while the Los Angeles Clippers star has become one of the best all-around players in the NBA, he might actually be even stronger than he realizes.
Griffin threw down a put-back dunk on a missed shot in the layup lines before the Clippers’ preseason game against the Toronto Raptors in Vancouver. The dunk rattled the entire hoop, knocking over the shot clock — and amusing center DeAndre Jordan, who can be seen laughing and fist-pumping in the wake of the incident.

It didn’t stop Los Angeles from turning into Lob City, though.
