For better of for worse, Blake Griffin took home the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in front of a home crowd in Los Angeles. Griffin, with all the hype in the world on his side leading up to the event, threw together some nice dunks, but it was the pageantry involved that allowed him to sneak away from the field and take home the fan vote over Washington's JaVale McGee. In the final round, and on his final dunk, Griffin used a brand new Kia as a prop, jumping over the hood as teammate Baron Davis threw him an alley-oop.
Oh, and there was a choir singing "I Believe I Can Fly" in the background. Check the video out below. Listen closely for Charles Barkley dropping the "if she's pretty but dumb it don't matter" line.
