Number 3: Blake Griffin throw-in dunk over Kendrick Perkins

Blake Griffin officially kicked off the best decade of Clippers basketball when he was selected number one overall by the team in the 2009 NBA Draft which featured Stephen Curry and James Harden.

Griffin was always known for his electrifying dunks and post game and he proved it throughout the first couple years of his career before expanding his game to midrange shooting and now even beyond the arc.

On January 30, 2012, Griffin and the Clippers were dominating the Thunder and Griffin made matters worse when he dunked over center Kendrick Perkins by basically throwing the basketball over him. Perkins was also regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league at the time, making the jam even more special.

That one will be on highlight reels for a long, long time.
