Oklahoma's Blake Griffin throws down a monster dunk

By Chris Chase

In case playing for the No. 2 team in the country, earning front-runner status for National Player of the Year honors and widely being considered a lock to become the No. 1 pick in June's NBA draft wasn't enough for Oklahoma's Blake Griffin, the 6-foot-10 forward can now add monster-dunker to his résumé.

During Saturday's 77-72 Sooners win over Colorado, Griffin threw down (literally) one of the nastiest, rim-rattling jams you'll see all season:

Throw a green jersey on Griffin and give him a hi-top fade, and you'd have thought that dunk was from Shawn Kemp.

It wasn't the only Griffin highlight of the afternoon. He had a windmill dunk on a breakaway that was pretty impressive as well.

    Big whoop. Another guy who can dunk. They're a dime a dozen in the NBA. Question is – does he play defense...is he fundamentally sound?

    Ok, he slammed it down, with power. He didn't bring a whole backboard down like Shaq used to. When he does that, let me know...
