#4 Pau Gasol joins Griffin's poster

Again, because these dunks happened in the same game and the fact that they were both equally vicious, it was difficult to not put both on the list. To start off the game, Griffin hovers over the rim for a monstrous putback dunk, jumping over Los Angeles Lakers' Pau Gasol in the process.

If that wasn't enough, in the third quarter, he posterized Gasol once again, this time off a pick-and-roll sequence. At least in the first one, Gasol was unaware of the approaching Griffin but in the second dunk, as the rotation man, he was aware but there was nothing he could do about it.

It's quite easy to look at the dunks and maybe rank them at No. 1 but once again the degree of difficulty is a huge factor in it being ranked at #4. Gasol wasn't exactly a leaper and shot-blocker at this time (2011-12 season) and Griffin was arguably at the peak of his powers.
