Blake Griffin conquered one of his greatest accomplishments a second time, clearing The Stifle Tower during last night's 102-84 win over the Utah Jazz.
The L.A. Clippers forward took full advantage of a mismatch against point guard Ricky Rubio, drove into the lane and plastered Rudy Gobert with a right-handed tomahawk jam, slowly-descending from the rim for added emphasis.
The dunk went viral instantly, drawing resemblance to the late Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories in the popular 2000's hit comedy Chappelle's Show — remembering a game the comedian had played with the late pop star Prince during his heyday.

The endless pics and gifs made right after the dunk took place were only the beginning, as Griffin was asked about his dunk and its resemblance to the skit, to which the forward admitted crossed his mind after making French Dip out of Gobert during the play.

It wasn't long until the newly-signed forward capitalized on the opportunity, putting it up on his Instagram page for his fans to giggle at.

The skit is one of the most memorable of the popular Comedy Central show and one that will live on forever. Griffin's priceless face after punching the ball home right on Gobert's grill can likely have the same effect on the pantheon of air-defying highlights of his career, already in the running for this season's Dunk of the Year.
