Blake Griffin With New Career High

[BballTim]

Blake Griffin is the best Power Forward in the game right now.

The kid is going to be the MVP and best player in the league in a few years if he can stay healthy.

  The problem is that his best chance of staying healthy is to get off of the Clippers...

[RJ87]

SO glad I own this kid in my fantasy keeper league.

But in all seriousness, he's quickly becoming one of my favorite players in the NBA. I like his demeanor, you can tell he takes a lot of pride in working hard. With an attitude like that, his talent, and youth, the the sky's the limit for him.

Truly exciting and refreshing player to watch.

Imagine we can get him to the C's... man, him and Rondo... 

[RJ87]

Not to mention, he's done the impossible by rejuvenating Baron Davis.

"Oh my goodness, he caught a feeling today," Baron Davis said of Griffin.

[GreenFaith1819]

Imagine we can get him to the C's... man, him and Rondo... 

Even better - I'm hoping for Dwight and Blake.

[incoherent]

I just hope he doesn't turn out like his favorite player, Lebron.  In terms of attitude anyway.

[CelticSooner]

He's a baller on the court but even more so off it. He's a real class act.

[PosImpos]

I'm a big fan of Blake Griffin.  I'm really hoping he can turn around the fortunes of the Clippers, or at least enjoy success in another city.

[Edgar]

I pay for the one that gives me a  "next big 3 picture"
With Rondo, Durant and Griffin
or   Rondo, Griffin and Dwight

Man I have good eye
I have good eye....

( well me and every single nba scout that put him as No.1 pick)

I probably saw as much Clippers games this year as I watched Celtics games just because of him.

Hes able to attack Amare and at the same time hes able to deffend Lebron. The kid is AAAWEEESOME

Me, too ... love watching the kid play ... and I love that he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder, and won't back down from guys like Kobe. Amazing performance last night ... can't wait to see him develop in the years to come.

[GreenEnvy]

I'm developing a man-crush on him. He is far and away my favorite player not wearing green. The kid can flat out ball.

Besides his on-the-court awesomeness, the videos and interviews I've seen of him, he is rather funny and humble.

Don't compare him to LeBron!

3-4 seasons ago when i first saw Blake play in the NCAA tournament i said he will someday be one of the beast of the NBA.Also i felt maybe he could challenge Lebron for the best player in the NBA oneday soon.I feel he is further alone in his development than James was at this stage of his career.Go Blake(Poster Child).

I wonder how the missed season affected him.

I'm sure it mentally prepared him, and this is much better than he would have been last year. But I feel if this was his second season after a rookie campaign, he would be EVEN better.

Yeah, I can definitely see this guy winning some MVP's.

Heck, if the Clippers can sneak into the playoffs (unlikely but possible), he should be an MVP candidate this season.

Look at his progression:
October (3 games) - 16.7 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 2.3 APG
November (15 games) - 20.9 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 2.7 APG
December (15 games) - 23.0 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 3.9 APG
January (7 games) - 27.6 PPG, 14.4 RPG, 4.0 APG

Just getting better and better.

He could finish the season at 25, 13, and 4....as a 21-year-old rookie!

Comaparable/better numbers than Duncan (finished 5th in MVP voting and made playoffs), Shaq (7th, missed playoffs), and Robinson (6th, made playoffs).

That's some rarefied air in the last 20+ years.

From the start of the season till now you can see the big leap in his developing from game to game...Blake has expressed his love for a Duncan-like game.During the last few games he's played in i saw glimpses of his inter-Tim Duncan starting to come thru with making a few bankshots high off the board.If he adds that shot consistently he will be extra good.So far ive seen his range get better to a consistent 17'.When he has a few consistent go to move with his back to the basket who in the NBA will be able to stop him?I have waited for this moment for awhile to,especially when analysts had basically overlooked him last season because he was out with injury and continued to say there probably wouldn't be another player for awhile to threaten Lebron's abilities in the NBA.tp

I can see him with the Timmy D go-to bank-shot. I don't know if he can be a low-post, back-to-the-basket scorer that Duncan was.

Watching him play, you don't realize how big he really is because of the way he moves. Have you ever seen a guy 6'10" with a quicker spin-move? It's unbelievable.

But once his feet leave the floor, it's pretty astonishing. He attacks the rim on basically every shot, offense or defense. How many times is he touching the rim even after Clipper makes? His motor is more impressive than his athleticism.
