Blake Griffin Just Dunked For The First Time In Two Years And Fans Are Losing Their Minds

NBA forward Blake Griffin appears to have gotten a little more jump in his step upon his arrival in Brooklyn.

The former All-Star is playing in his debut with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, and he was able to do something he hasn’t done in nearly two years. He threw down a dunk.

Fittingly: Blake Griffin's first points in Brooklyn come on a dunk. In an interview with ESPN, he promised he still had bounce.

Was Blake Griffin just conning us this whole time just to get out of Detroit? Maybe he still has plenty left in his tank, after all.

Griffin is playing on a minutes restriction today, but he figures to be a decently big part of Steve Nashs’ rotation with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets are creating an interesting super team, and Blake Griffin is just the latest addition. We’ll see if he can stay healthy, and give the Nets a much-needed presence at the rim.

The dunk was a nice start.
