The NBA’s Best Kept Secret

After a couple mentions in (Almost) Daily Fantasy and what Austin said could be the NBA’s dunk of the year, 6-foot-2 Mike Taylor seems to be auditioning for next year’s dunk contest.


The first player to be drafted by an NBA team from the D-League last June, injuries on the Clippers have finally allowed Taylor to display his talent. Starting at point guard in place of Baron Davis on Saturday, Taylor registered 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes of play.

Could Taylor win the dunk contest next year?

    Only the Clippers would expend so much energy on a pregame warm-up.

    Good clip though. He should be in the dunk contest.

    I hope they give this dude a shot at the dunk contest… looks like he would kill it…

    Just what a clipper fan needs, a reason to show up early. You know what they say about a dunker, what do the jumper look like?

    Lee…. based on what? He can only dunk and nothing else?

    Actually, Mike Taylor has been very very nice for the Clippers. Plays defense, plays under control, very very nifty passing and great back up for BD.

    He got a J too

    dont hate the unheralded kid… he’s got skills, ayt… send him to a team who’s got better rep and he’d be on the buzz day-in, day-out…
