On Saturday February 19th, Blake Griffin, rookie forward from the Los Angeles Clippers, won the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest after arriving in the finals with the Washington Wizards' 7-foot center Javale McGee. Griffin's winning dunk was done over the front of a Kia Optima, while a choir was singing in the background the song "I believe I can fly". If McGee had kept the same amount of creativity that he had from the beginning, he would have won the dunk contest. McGee was undoubtedly the most creative contestant that night, with his two-rims-two-ball dunk and his one-rim-three-balls dunk. Also competing that night in the dunk contest were forward Serge Ibaka from the Oklahoma City Thunders, and guard DeMar DeRozan from the Toronto Raptors who replaced the Milwaukee Bucks' guard Brandon Jennings due to injuries.
