Blake Griffin's Dunks Are Getting More And More Dangerous

He went mainstream by posterizing a handful of centers, he jumped over a car in the only memorable dunk contest of the last five years, and he even joked about his dunk-centric skillset in a Kia commercial.

But in the last year or so Griffin's victims have gotten fed up, and we've seen a rise in guys hard-fouling him at the rim.

Last night Griffin pulled off a spectacular slam on Pacers center Ian Mahimni. But as he was going up Mahimni stood his ground and fouled Griffin, send him awkwardly falling to the ground.

If his foot doesn't break his fall, this could have been much worse:

We saw an even more dramatic example of this last year when Robin Lopez got ejected for fouling Blake hard:

There's nothing dirty about fouling at guy when he goes up for a dunk. And that's exactly why it's so dangerous for Griffin to keep attempting these spectacular, posterizing dunks over bigger opponents.

NBA centers hate to get embarrassed, and they are going to do what they can do keep from becoming the next Timofey Mozgov.

Griffin was catching opponents off guard during his first few years in the league. Now the entire NBA knows he wants to make a poster out of someone, and they're prepared to knock him out of the air to prevent it.
