I'm still waiting for someone to tell my why Blake Griffin deserved to win the 2011 NBA Dunk Contest. He only had one special dunk... and that was his FIRST one!
After watching the several years, it's safe to say that the dunk contest is all about presentation and how one markets its self. The majority of casual NBA fans only knew of one player who was in the contest- Blake Griffin.
Blake Griffin's last dunk consisted of him dunking over a Kia Optima, which happens to be the official car of the NBA. The NBA made sure that Blake got to show of his not-so-spectacularly, overhyped, over presented dunk over the Kia Optima.
Could you imagine how upset David Stern and the NBA would be if Griffin couldn't pull off the dunk to get to the finals against JaVale McGee?
