blake griffin dunk over car

Blake Griffin managed to fly over a cart to execute a two-handed dunk in the slam dunk contest of 2011 and it was also perfect evidence that The Clippers' rising star is merely at the opening of a fantastic ride in the sport. The leap won the contest and a choir was at midcourt lending their belief to him that he could soar.

Griffin easily cleared the hood of the 2011 Kia Optima and caught a pass from teammate Baron Davis out of the sunroof while the berobed Crenshaw Select Choir sang "I Believe I Can Fly," winning the 26th NBA dunk contest in iconic style before his hometown fans. "There's a little pressure on us to really put on a show, but I thought those guys all did a great job," said Griffin, who beat Washington's Javale McGee in the final.

So a fantastic leap of faith from the up and coming basketball star and one that won't be forgotten by many for a long time to come.
