Blake Griffin

[reediddy]

Alright so if you haven't noticed by my avatar I'm an avid Clippers fan. What I've noticed this year especially by ESPN is that the Clips finally get coverage simply because he produces at least 3-4 highlight reel plays every game. What do you guys think of his performance so far this year and do you think so far he is the front-runner for Rookie of the Year? I absolutely think so.

I haven't seen too many NBA games this season due to my xbox playing getting in the way. But from the games I did see, John Wall has been making a case for himself as well. Haven't seen enough of Blake Griffin to have an opinion, but from what I've seen, they should be about neck and neck.

Blake Griffin is my 3rd favorite player in the NBA behind Durant and Wall (Wizards )

Dude is an absolute monster. He should definitely be in the slam dunk contest...

I feel like he can be better than Amar'e Stoudemire was early in his career. At the rim he is much more powerful and he already has a decent face up game that he can utilize as well whereas Amar'e made his completely from scratch; he had no face up game his first 3-4 years. Not to mention Griffin is a better rebounder, defender, and he puts a lot more effort into his game.

The #1 dunk in that video clip is just unreal.

i remember one block he made before the draft he accidentally hit his mouth on the rim.

I've actually talked to this guy. He's a really good dude.

Guy scored 44 points in a game... as a rookie (Clippers still lost though). Holy crap.

Barring injuries, he's going to be a monster for a long time.
