By now you’ve seen Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin’s dunk over Oklahama City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins. If not, well, welcome back to earth, we’ll show you the video again in a second.
Perkins’ teammate Kevin Durant, who’s easily one of the best players in the league, wasn’t too impressed with Griffin’s effort. And that makes him probably the only one.
“I have no appreciation for it at all,” said Durant. “It was a layup, I think.

The term “posterized” is probably the most overused word in basketball. Very few of the dunks we rant and rave about over the course of an NBA season actually make their way onto a poster. Unfortunately for Kendrick Perkins, some of them do. Even worse, some become T-shirts. Check out this Blake Griffin T-shirt that The Basketball Jones passed along:

Perkins’ teammate Kevin Durant didn’t join in the League-wide celebration of the epic throw-down, gamely defending his big man by downplaying the play as merely...
