Dunk Diaries: Jerami Grant:

Perhaps the only man on the Thunder roster who hates the rim more than Russell Westbrook is Jerami Grant, who was acquired early in the season via trade.

Grant Tomahawk on Barton:

Will Barton was in last year’s dunk contest and Jerami Grant wanted him to know he can hang. Maybe this will earn Grant his very own invitation to a dunk contest sooner than later.

Hop-Step To Reverse Slam:

Grant’s athleticism is absurd.

Kevin Who? Grant Doesn’t Know Him:

Everything about this is beautiful and nothing hurts. Grant attacks the basket and finishes violently as Durant attempts to defend him and then Grant gets in Durant’s face. It is everything Thunder fans wanted to happen in that moment.

Reverse Dunk vs. Grizz:

Now that is some grit and grind. The fact that Grant has to duck so not to hit his head on either the rim or the backboard is astonishing.

Hint, this last dunk made a mark with voters!
