With both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin injured for the Los Angeles Clippers, center DeAndre Jordan will need to carry the team’s load if they hope to win their first round Playoff series against the Portland Trailblazers.

Jordan is certainly trying, as he has posted a double-double in a crucial Game 5. Two of his points came off this monstrous jam over Blazers big man Mason Plumlee.

Now, most of DeAndre’s buckets come directly off assists or without dribbling. Whether it’s a Chris Paul lob or a put back, D.J. doesn’t put the ball on the deck very often.

In this play, he does just that. Jordan holds the ball at the three-point line and sees Plumlee with his back turned. He takes this opportunity to take one solid dribble and take off for a very Jumpman-esque dunk.

DeAndre Jordan is living up to his last name. I guess?
