People are giving him a bunch of shit as they should.  His 2015 Clippers team was stacked.  He needs to figure out how to get them over that hump or he will end up being Mark Jackson.

He should've tried to dunk with 2 hands. He's exposed himself by not having both hands on the ball. If he does Bam may have fouled him?

Still, hell of a Block.

Well he has one title, so he won't be Mark Jackson, but blowing this series with that team is not good by any stretch for his legacy.

He is sure as hell becoming him.  Gifted team and can't get them to the next level?

He launched too far out for two hands?

Nobody blocks those kinds of dunks.  That is a highlight real play.

I was just going by the picture. (It looked like he went baseline.) 

I saw the replay today and you're right, he did launch too far for 2 hands.

Another dribble and then the Dunk? How about a little pull-up jumper from about 5-7 feet?

If he dunked it, which 99/100 times he does, this is a completely different conversation.

You go strong to the hole, hindsight we know it gets blocked but, you go strong.

It's just a great play by Bam.

This play is very worthy of discussion and can be talked about forever.

Remember Lebrons would be dunk in game 7?  If he doesn't get fouled we'd be talking about that dunk rather than his "chase down" block from behind.

Westbrook is one of the most overrated players, in any sport, i have ever see..

And still not the most overrated in his current team.

Nuggets / Heat would be the best Finals IMO.  

Best styles.

Ehh. The ratings already suck for the NBA.  Lakers/Celtics would be an improvement but i dont like how the Lakers play.  Nuggets are a Golden State hybrid with a 7 footer running the point basically.  They’re fun to watch

He certainly is the tone setter for the team as far as attitude goes. You can tell by the way they all flail their arms around anytime anyone touches them and by the way they all bitch to the refs every chance they get.
