When we first talked about Blake Griffin throwing down these dunk contest worthy dunks at a USAB practice in 2012, we thought the real star of the video was the "he didn't even stretch doe" kid with the lines in his eyebrows. Looking back at the video today, we think the real star of the video is the 2015 No. 2 NBA draft pick D'Angelo Russell saying, "he didn't even stretch doe" near his former Lakers teammate Julius Randle, fellow rookie standout Devin Booker, slam dunk champ Zach LaVine and a few other current NBA players.
On July 26th of 2018, the NBA re-released the six-year-old video with spotlights on all of the players that ended up playing pro ball and it's pretty mind-blowing.
- Trey Lyles
- Cliff Alexander
- Zach LaVine
- Bobby Portis
- Isaiah Briscoe
- Noah Vonleh
- Wayne Selden
- Theo Pinson
- Tyler Ennis
- Josh Hart
- Chris McCullough
- Xavier Rathan-Mayes
- D'Angelo Russell
- Devin Booker
- Diamond Stone
- Jarell Martin
- Troy Williams
- Kennedy Meeks
- Sindarius Thornwell
- Julius Randle
Awesome right?
This is the equivalent of finding out Jean-Claude Van Damme was the awesome background dancer in the 80's classic Breakin.
Equally awesome is this video of Blake Griffin reacting to the "who's who" video and making fun of Devin Booker's haircut.
"I got to talk to @DevinBook about that haircut."
