I figured this might deserve a separate thread seeing as it's all over the news and such since the dunk was so big.

Official NBA Video of the Dunk

It's also worth noting Brandon Knight was having fun with it all this morning on Twitter saying...

‏@BrandonKnight07
It wasn't in the scouting reports that the clippers threw lobs lol

LA Times Story on the Dunk and Tweet

Brandon Knight mocks himself on Twitter after DeAndre Jordan dunk
By Chuck Schilken March 11, 2013, 9:45 a.m.

Brandon Knight is alive and well -- no thanks to the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan and despite what you might have read on the Internet over the last 12 hours or so.

 

[entremet]

Clippers are such a fun team to watch.

[PhiLonius]

Damn. Thought Kyrie crossing him in the R-S game was bad... damn.

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah, this dunk is fucking impressive.
And it seems Brandon Knight's Wikipedia page has been modified and it declared him as dead for some hours. :lol :lol

 

[xenist]

Shit. Even his ancestors felt that.

 

[McNei1y]

yep. Jordan absolutely killed it.

 

[Joel Was Right]

 

[Szu]

Good God almighty! That killed him!...As god as my witness, he is broken in half!

Glad Knight had a decent reaction to it.


Oh Joey D, why can't you put together a more solid team?

 

[NoRéN]

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheNatural]

At least one of Calipari's players besides Rose did something notable in the pros. The new Bryon Russell.

 

[Phat Michael]

great facial. great reaction.

 

[Archer]

despite the momentary embarrassment, the guy is still getting millions to play basketball. i'd have no problems being dunked on if i brought in such cash on an annual basis.

this should also be a bish ban gif.

 

[commedieu]

boomshakalaka.

How tall are these blokes?

 

[Devolution]

I like how his own team mate pushed him hahaha.

 

[arts&crafts]

A great dunk for sure, not sure if it need it own thread though. For example Derozon's dunk on Mozgov I believe is just as good as this one. Brandon Knight is a foot and 100 pounds less than Jordan and the opposite could be said about Derozan's.

Either way, fun to watch.

 

[BadAss2961]

lol.

Posterized, but still just a PG against a 7 foot center.

 

[commedieu]

I like how his own team mate pushed him hahaha.

Why did that happen? Mad at the possible foul?

Never seen that.

Good God almighty! That killed him!...As god as my witness, he is broken in half!

Oh shit, now I wish JR commentated all sports.

oh great. now i need a Jim Ross dubover of this dunk.

 

[commedieu]

Oh shit, now I wish JR commentated all sports.

"God dammit he has a family!"

 

[freenudemacusers]

hahah hoooooly shit

 

[FourMyle]

You have got to be fucking kidding me

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Why did that happen? Mad at the possible foul?

Never seen that.

You should watch some more NFL and NBA games. This show of team camaraderie is quite common.

 

[charsace]

Never seen that.

They just celebrating. Someone post the gif of the kids reacting to the dunk.

 

[Jarmel]

The flowers make this gif.

[Barack Lesnar]

Props to Knight for even attempting to go up on it
I rather have my player do that than just let him roll by uncontested.

 

[Devolution]

Even though he's already past him my first thought was pushing him so he doesn't step on the guy.

 

[Azzurri]

Probably one of the greatest gifs I've seen in a long time.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

wtf?

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I love the bench guy acting like an airplane.

Oddly enough, Greg Monroe was angry the rest of the Pistons weren't trying as hard.

The “effort” angered Pistons center Greg Monroe as he blasted the team.

“Maybe guys don’t care,” Monroe said. “Something has to change, though. This can’t continue. If you don’t want to play, just say it. This has got to stop. It’s unacceptable.

“If you don’t want to play, you should say it. This is unacceptable. It’s gone on too long. If you don’t want to be on the court, if you aren’t going to give 100% on the court, then just don’t play.”

 

[victreeb3l]

dunk was pretty awesome. poor brandon knight lol

 

[BravesCountry]

They really shouldn't be celebrating someone's death like that.

 

[blame space]

The flowers make this gif.

and the dust. it's really well-done.

That's the funny thing about it. Knight did a pretty nice job getting up there and at least put in some effort to affect the play -- and yet that effort is what makes the dunk look even more beastly than if it'd been uncontested.

 

[radrelic]

Brandon Knight is a 6'3 guard, big whoop.

Props to Knight for his effort and tenacity, not backing down from a 7 footer.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

 

[Labombadog]

That dunk. Holy shit!

And that awesome gif, it even seem like his team mates are coming to pay their respects. Dayum.

 

[3N16MA]

I'm not getting the hype over this dunk like everyone else. DeAndre Jordan is 6'11 and knight 6'3. At least Knight tried to do something rather than move out of the way so he did not get dunked on like 95% of the league would have done.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wait this is thread worthy? Still impressive though.

 

[Derrick01]

It's nice to see one of the most overrated dunks of all time coming from the Clippers and for once it's NOT from Blake.

 

[SarBear]

all right, this one got me. LOL

 

[djplaeskool]

Helluva jam there.

Respect to Knight for not backing down, then taking it in stride. Great tweet.

Needs more, "Baw Gawd!"

 

[Weenerz]

Love the audio from it, it was so loud.

 

[DominoKid]

i just noticed matt barnes sprinting away from the scene of the crime lmao.
