Blake Griffin left Detroit, found a time machine and remembered how to jump

Blake Griffin slammed down a monster dunk that has NBA fans recalling his prime days as a Los Angeles Clipper.

NBA Playoffs: Blake Griffin finds his legs with the Nets

Just a few short months ago, Griffin was hobbled by injuries and averaging career-lows with the Pistons, who finished last place in the Eastern Conference. Frustrated, he asked to be traded, and on March 5, his contract was bought out. Three days later, he signed with the Nets in what now looks like an absolute steal — perhaps even an organized crime.

According to StatMuse, Griffin had zero dunks in his final 25 games with the Pistons. In fact, prior to joining the Nets, his last dunk was dated back in 2019.

Based on his performance as a Net and even in Tuesday’s playoff game alone, Griffin seems to have regained his once renowned leaping ability. The former NBA Slam Dunk champ was flying high once again, scoring double-digits in a Nets blowout victory.
