Cool! What about doing it over a Ford Raptor?

The dunk was impressive and I'm sure NBA sponsor Kia was happy. If I were Clipper management I would definitely have not been happy. His right foot barely cleared the front fender. Considering he missed all of last year with a knee injury AND he is the franchise player, I'm sure his agent got a call later that night.

That's one of the things trending in the news right now. But, as the franchise player he has to get his face and name (and jersey) out there and dunk contests help. Doing this in the middle of the season, though, is just asking for trouble. -mm

Yeah; and I'm sure that Mr Griffin probably won a free Kia after such a spectacular "dunk".
I rolled my eyes and flipped the channel after that.

I thought the dunk was terrible. He didn't jump all that high and he went over the low part of the car. I just went back to youtube and watched some of Vince Carter's dunks from 2000 --> now that was dunking, none of this car crap.

The LA Times, in an attempt to be brand-agnostic, described the vehicle as a "silver sports car." Bet Kia loved that one.
