Kevin Durant calls monster Griffin dunk “a layup"

[Big Bid'Ness]

Kevin Durant was not very talkative after his Thunder squad got their heads handed to them by the Clippers Monday night. Not surprisingly. The entire Thunder team was frustrated.

After the game a reporter asked Durant if he got a good look at that Blake Griffin’s monster dunk over Kendrick Perkins. He responded, “I don’t care about that dunk.” And he was done talking about it.

But he was talking about it again Wednesday, and still was dismissive of the play that wowed everyone else. From the twitter of Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman:

“It was a layup, I think. He threw the ball in and got fouled and made a free throw. So it’s three points at the end of the day… “If it wasn’t against us, maybe I would have said it was a good play.”

Durant is still frustrated. The guy does not like to lose. Besides him, there are a lot of people out there trying to argue because Griffin didn’t touch the rim it wasn’t a dunk. Which is ridiculous.

After the game Kendrick Perkins called it a dunk. He was closest. If he says it was a dunk, it was a dunk. No matter what Durant says.

He's right

He is right, those two plays he had against Perk and Mozgov arent technically dunks. Impressive, but arent dunks.

Glad I know someone else who agrees haha.

Like I said in the other thread, I call these "slams" instead of "slam dunks."
Basically a whole new shot was created by Blake and Dwight.

He's got the arm length of a 5'5'' teenager lol

If they were a little longer that Perkins dunk would have been an all-time great.

If this was a dunk, I'd be a pretty dirty dunker.

I like what Sal is saying, slam but not a slam dunk.

Atleast more people realize it isn't a dunk.

I went nuts when I saw the Dwight one live, then I saw the replays and that it wasn't actually a dunk and I soured on it real quick.
