Griffin's dunks actually have a bit of social media history to them. In February, he threw down a truly epic jam over the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kendrick Perkins.
Perkins later called out NBA MVP LeBron James in the media for tweeting his amazement at the dunk in a pretty funny moment of sports and social media intersecting.
