It’s not every day that we get to see a dunk from Chris Paul, so you take notice when he decides to do it twice in one game.
Having to step up his game for the foreseeable future with Blake Griffin sidelined, Paul had 23 points, five rebounds and seven assists to help the Los Angeles Clippers to a 108-91 victory over the Washington Wizards on the road on Monday. The point guard has been healthy of late and to show the extent of how spry he has been feeling, Paul decided to dunk the ball on two separate occasions – one of them coming on a fastbreak where he could have set up a trailing J.J. Redick (and he usually would) but decided to go for the rare dunk himself:
Here’s the second one:
Paul collected the dunks and shared them on his instagram page:
OHHHH DIPPPPPPPP!!!!! https://t.co/LINFQNiHFW

J.J. Redick also had a sarcastic reaction to the dunk after failing to receive what he thought would be an assist for two points:
I was going to dunk the first one. Selfish AF RT @CP3: OHHHH DIPPPPPPPP!!!!! https://t.co/uqEW9qnkuj — JJ Redick (@JJRedick) December 29, 2015
