I saw hook dunk over a car before in the Panhandle (SF park)....plus I used to play with him over at Cal! He used to run with everybody, pretty cool.

@reg12269 Does the fact Hook did it on concrete not a gym floor with spring in it make a difference? Think about it. I'm from Oakland and even though I never saw him play. I did hear about him from people and if Kidd & GP say he was better I believe it. They know how great they are , GP has a HUGE EGO and wouldn't just bs that Hook was better if it wasn't true. GP usually would say he's the best ever.

on the other hand their height doesn't really matter since we're talking vertical and not how high they reach.. just sayin

Hook used to sleep under Gary Paytons bed in oakland when they were young. Kidd said he is by far the best player to come out of the bay area, including himself and GP

Blake jumped over the side of the hood so KIA could get their commercial. Griffin better be careful. Looking cool doesn't get you wins or rings. T-mac and Lebronze are with me right now, they agree.

@starkk19 ,true and plus Blake jumped from further back,he jumped fromt he half circle by the foul line,on this one the car was next to the hoop

This dunk is better than Griffins because he actually cleared the car, he didn't just dunk and land on top of it

its a grreat dunk for a 5'9 guy.. sure nate robinson could come close to pulling that off... but it just doesnt have the sam stage, pageantry, hype and flair that blake had. blake looked a lot better dunking than this dude does. the height is about the same.. its more amazing for a 5'9 guy to do it but it looks a lot better with blake doing it!

Any one else watch the Blake Griffin dunk for the championship over a car& think whats the big deal? Except that if Griffin got hurt a whole team would go down hill. If The Hook got hurt he'd just be hurt.

@draper12 The height of a mustang convertible with the windows fully up is definitely higher than the hood of the Kia. Plus Hook was not even 6 feet tall
