Video: Lin throws alley-oop to Blake Griffin

Found February 24, 2012 on Hardcourt Mayhem:
PLAYERS: Blake Griffin,  Jeremy Lin
TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers,  New York Knicks

 

You know ESPN has their eyes big on this Rising Stars game when Blake Griffin and Jeremy Lin are on the same team. Well, those two made ESPN faint when Linsanity combined with Griffin for an alley-oop. I’m surprised the Internet did not go insane.

Take a look at what happens in the video below:

  • Wow... But Rubio was the better PG and had the better alley oop to Blake. He dribbled between Cousins legs and then flicks up an alley oop pass to Griffin about 33 feet out from the opposite side the basket. Lin is a nice story though but he was out of his talent level last night and it was noticeable. Great fit for D'Antoni's system though.
