It’s official: DeAndre Jordan is Lob City’s–and the NBA’s–premier in-game dunker. It’s been that way since the season began, but I didn’t fully realize it until I watched DeAndre throw down six ferocious slam dunks against a Toronto Raptors frontcourt that is vulnerable as ever. Jordan got busy with one hand, two hands, frontwards, backwards, off of one foot, off of two feet… basically, in just 25 minutes of playing time, he put down a spectacular dunk of nearly every variety.
With his 16 points and 16 rebounds, call him King DeAndre. He mercilessly rules over his Lob City court as Blake Griffin and Chris Paul play second and third fiddle. Jordan may not be most responsible for LA’s 9-5 record, but he’s the one cranking out the bulk of the highlights, and that’s what Lob City’s all about. If they just so happen to win some ball games in the process? That’s cool… Blake and Chris can have credit...

Just like the Cowboys Cheerleaders have been a staple in the NFL for years so have the Lakers Girls in Los Angeles. But now that the Clippers are suddenly relevant I think we should give our due to the Spirit Dance team.
