Watch Deandre Jordan Dunk Over Dunk Of The Year Nominee Brandon Knight After Alley-Oop Pass From Chris Paul [VIDEO]
A must-see video features Los Angeles Clipper Deandre Jordan dunking over Detroit Piston Brandon Knight.
Jordan has had dunks featured on SportsCenter over the past few years. This dunk has garnered attention from ESPN again and the Twitter world.
The MVP of the 2013 all-star game, Chris Paul, drove past the three-point line, then floated an alley-oop to Deandre Jordan, who cut to the basket with only one man to beat. He caught the ball with one hand from the semi-circle and slammed it over Knight who at 6'3 attempted to prevent the dunk.
The 189 lbs. shooting guard couldn't stop the 6'11, 265 lbs. center from slamming in a dunk that will surf the web.
As his teammates erupted alongside the crowd following the dunk, Jamal Crawford took to Twitter to talk about the dunk.

And it was number one on SportsCenter. The question is when won't it be number one on the show that anchors the sports network. Knight even showed his spirits when he went to Twitter to talk about the Clippers.
It wasn't in the scouting reports that the clippers threw lobs lol — Brandon E Knight (@BrandonKnight07) March 11, 2013
