I was privileged to be in attendance of the DeAndre Jordan dunk over Brandon Knight at Staples Center where the Clippers won handily 129-97 in front of a sell-out crowd. Jordan finished with 13pts & 7rebs. It all started with Chris Paul sending the lob up to Jordan and the rest is history, and when I say history I mean it. Knight went up to block Jordan’s shot just like he was taught to do since playing recreation ball in Fort Lauderdale Florida. DeAndre Jordan’s name was trending on Twitter, the Clippers’ center was leading the NBA with the most mentions per hour on NBA.com, and NBA superstars were tweeting about him as well.
Even Brandon Knight got in on the fun after the game.
It wasn’t in the scouting reports that the clippers threw lobs lol
