Blake Griffin's armada of dunks launched 2.5 million tweets during Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.

Griffin, known as a prodigious dunker, and reigning NBA MVP LeBron James created Twitter's peak moment of the game -- more than 46,000 tweets per minute -- with back-to-back dunks.

Kyrie Irving, who was named MVP of the game, was the most-tweeted-about player from the Eastern Conference followed by James and Carmelo Anthony.

Griffin garnered the most tweets of any player from the west, followed by Kevin Durant and Chris Paul.
