The dude is a BEAST! He's only a rookie and looks like a man playing against boys. I love his style of play. Putting up a double double every night. What a force in the NBA for years to come. And actually this might be the first time I tune into the slam dunk competition since the Jordan days. Very interested to see what he can do to a rim with nobody defending him. He might eat it.
He is that for sure... I was fortunate enough to eat Thanksgiving dinner with him in Oklahoma when he was playing there, he's a great guy too. I hope he does well!
I have boycotted the NBA since my hawks made ISO Joe Johnson the highest paid player in the league and settled for midiocrity for the next 7 years...but Blake Griffin is fun to watch, and makes sportcenter a little more bearible with less football/baseball highlights. He seams as if he can hang from the top of the back board if he wishes.
He's a rare talent that's for sure. He'll be very, very good very soon. He's already averaging, what, 22 and 12? Those numbers for a rookie are incredible seeing how Shaq is the only other player I can think of that posted those numbers as a rookie. David Robinson maybe?
