That's what the online sports media network SB Nation did in the video above, laying NBA Jam visuals and sound effects over a few of high flyer Blake Griffin's best dunks of the season.

Watch through the end of the short clip for a special surprise. The video was uploaded to YouTube earlier Thursday, so has not yet gone viral, but the guess here is it's already heating up.

Griffin's dunks actually have a bit of social media history to them. In February, he threw down a truly epic jam over the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kendrick Perkins.

Perkins later called out NBA MVP LeBron James in the media for tweeting his amazement at the dunk in a pretty funny moment of sports and social media intersecting.

What's your best NBA Jam memory? Let us know in the comments.
