First Pick of the 2009 NBA Draft: Blake Griffin

[feargardz]

whoever says lebron is overrated are dead set fuckwits. plain and simple

[DalueCommentarys]

I love looking at all the old comments of the naysayers saying Blake was gonna fail. How wrong could you be?!

[00regan]

Boomer Sooner!

[27131king]

looks like john cena from some angle

[yelnats1234]

With the first pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angles Clippers choose Chuck Norris' bodyguard.

[TheDarkterror21]

press number 1 and it says GRIFFIN!!

[TheDarkterror21]

On June 25, 2009(7:00pm) at the MADISON SQUARE GARDEN....a superstar named Blake Griffin was born...:)))

[phillipkp]

Derrick Williams is the next #1 draft pick!!

[TheStuuner34]

blake griffin gta sa style on my channel:D

[kingliljef95]

he said 3009 its 2009 wtf he smokin!

[k1mochi]

clippers drafted a monster

[racer64]

It's weird seeing people my age get drafted in the NBA draft.

[silipbuy]

at that time i though he was a draft bust. But right now it makes me laugh.

[Treemeslave]

i wish stern would regrow his mustache

[friendlycakeasaurus]

i was at this draft, he high fived me as he was walking out :)

[1stlakerfan]

I love how i see these comments from 1 year ago and they say he would be the next Kwame, or Olowakandi. Haha Haters you can eat those words.

Blake Griffin is the most exciting thing in the NBA right now!

He's got people watching the Clippers!

[figo706]

Best rookie dunker ever!!!

[hfacta]

is blake griffin black

[mayberryphotography]

@hfacta Mixed.

[KendraLeigh1424]

@hfacta

Actually, he's not.. He is Haitian American. His father is Haitian-American and his mother is Caucasian.

[saintconnnor]

@KendraLeigh1424

so he isnt caucasian, just haitian-american????

[KendraLeigh1424]

@saintconnnor

I was meaning he's not mixed with black and white. He's actually Haitian-American. And while his father is black, he's not African American - He's Haitian-American.

[OrgBeautiPink]

@KendraLeigh1424 Piss mouth that is mixed. Haitian people are black. Did you not see his father. So he is Black and White, Mulatto, Coffee.. Whatever floats your boat :)

[KendraLeigh1424]

@OrgBeautiPink But if you understood what I was saying, you'd get it. Yes, skin color wise his father is black. But in the United States we associate being black with being African American. I was stating the fact that his father is Haitian American. Which, if you paid attention in school, is different than being African American.

But honestly, it's nothing to get "pissy" about. Obviously, we both like Blake Griffin or we wouldn't be watching the video. So let's just leave it at that.

[fliplyricist1]

Little did anyone know exactly 'how' special this young man was going to be. o.0

[ProfessorSeuss]

Kobe>>>Lebron>>>Blake

[karan6]

John Wall aint shit compared To Blake, dude is a fuckin Hybrid I am saying it right now based on sole stats alone he will be the Greatest PF of our generation

[ValdezBoyz22CH]

rookie of the year

sorry john wall

[rickywanabe612]

john cena??

[nobodysperfect06]

why do the Clippers even still exist? they should become an NBA-Development League team

[checkdafool]

@nobodysperfect06 wtf this coming from a guy whose username is nobodies perfect

[ricanpone]

Blake is doing his thing....keep handling the biz...

[WtfItzHuy]

I'm awaiting for someone to nickname him Donkey Kong, King Kong, or any ape-like related nickname. Even though he can facial the hell out of you, you got to admit his face look quite a bit like an ape/monkey.

[dizzyy2k8]

he's awesome in his nba debut!

[BaachiJoeJB]

it was funny how you guys called this man the "rookie of the year" 1 day after this draft was done and now you are calling him a bust

[24AFP]

the second comming of Greg Oden

LMAO

[scrty741]

BUST

[20SecondDrums]

@scrty741

Rookie of the Year. No doubt.

[thepakibye]

@scrty741 ru still sure about that?

[mr3000ts]

@scrty741 really?? a bust lol

[clippersfan2004]

He's a harder working player as a rookie than anyone in the league including Kobe. Shit his workout regiment is literally classified. He's 6'10 255 all muscle and only has a vert 3-4 inches less than Lebron's 44 which ties Jordan for the all time highest in the league. He's strong as shit. I expect Dwight Howard to find someone as athletic and as strong as him in Blake, so he has more competition on the block.

[kutobuki00]

THE NEXT KWAME BROWN

[silikami]

at least Blake can grip a basketball....

[clippersfan2004]

How do you figure tard? He is building a nice jumper including 3 point range. He has 100 times the heart and hustle of Kwame and he has a 40 inch vert and bench presses 400 pounds. I love people that search for the next bust when this guy won College player of the year with 22.7 ppg and 14 rpg averages. Kwame came straight out of high school as a nobody. The Wizards mistake.

[timmyx20]

Tyreke Evans was the best out of the draft.

[Rockerzx360]

@timmyx20

yeah, tyreke evans for rookie of the year, forget about jennings.

[banginbangali25]

I actually do not think Blake would be looked at as the best one to come out of the draft. I personally think that Brandon Jennings was the best out of the draft. Maybe wrong, but thats just my opinion.

[Fatmouse25]

Could Ralph Lawler be the curse?! He did not commentate vs Denvers game and we won. I was there btw :), nail biter seeing how baron is capable of airballing so many.

[tomthumb2009]

the clippers are full of chuckers.

baron

thorton

buttler

gordon

hope griffin pans out 4 you guys but my kings tyreke evans will be ROY!!!

[crosschain95]

To bad hes not on a championship caliber team. Hes not even close, hes on the worst team in the NBA. Whenever he is traded or waved, that is when he will really shine.

[bentew26]

it would me funny if blake griffin turns out to be like kwame brown right?

[hermom2]

Aha omfg Kwame Brown was the biggest joke ever, the Wizards fucked up so bad in that draft.

But I doubt Griffen will turn out as Kwame, Griffen is going to be an amazing player, its to bad he is out for the first 20 games of the season sue to injury

[DaveCho84]

Step 1, Draft Blake Griffin: Check

Step 2, Whip up Baron Davis into game shape and make him happy (see step 3)

Step 3, Fire Mike Dunleavy

Step 4, Start stockpiling Larry O'Brien Trophies

[dylan2471]

Blake used to play point guard until his junior year in high school he's got skill inside and outside, great player. i wish he could have stayed in OKC.

[Fatmouse25]

?? I dont get the fact that everyone say they have to move to win one!? Moving does nothing, they gotta fight here and not be cowards!

[TheAnomaly24]

they wont win anywhere, but they dont belong in the same building as the Lakers

[zerolahero]

haha i fill so sorry for blake griffin he is playing for the worst team in the past 10 years Hahahaha

[mugz0023]

i think' this is a good match between lebron and griffin in this season of 2009 2010'

gogogo.... . 2' king kong

[jingeshan24]

they play different positions.....

the battle will be griffin/garnett if at all.

[flynnyboi10]

oh there's a shocker

[marlinsbaseballfan]

GO LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS

[elbigchile707]

please move the clipers they are only in LA beacsue of how much money that market makes them please its a slap to the lakers face they could only be one team in LA in thats the Lakers sorry clips just move to yourself a favor

[armenian13power]

man jus shut up plz do us all a favor

[fantastik4z]

lakers arent originally from l.a thas why they kept the clippers around tho the lakers got a better team

[LilianaFan]

@fantastik4z

the Clippers were originally from San Diego before moving to LA

[fantastik4z]

nope they were from buffalo and then san diego

[MetubeKing23]

The Clippers are moving in the right direction but they'll never win anything until they move out of LA and get a better owner. Imagine how it feels for a Clipper to be in a town where no one goes to their games and they have to play in a building with 15 laker championship banners. They keep losing money cuz no one goes to their games and their owner doesnt even care about it. They need to move to San Diego, Las Vegas, or some other city if they are really serious about winning

[arkantos980]

Vancouver..Stern's biggest regret was moving a team out of Vancouver

[Gaki667]

wow. white boy pickeda as first...

(I'm white so all of you that want to say something, shut the fuck up)

[rko719]

actually, he's halfrican. if u're talking about just white number one overall picks, you gotta go back to 2005 and 2006 where Bogut and Bargnani were taken with the top pick in each draft. if you wanna go further than that, you gotta go to 1977 where kent benson was the top pick.

[strickyboiwonder]

hes half black ya know

[Beautifillthanever]

I like his suit...

[tomthumb2009]

hopefully the clips wont have a curse on them anymore

[baobinhnam04]

i think the clippers should be in the playoffs this year because i dont think there are 8 better teams than the clippers in the west if you consider all of the players that the clippers have in their roster

[bastisucks]

thats a pretty cool suit

[ZoupmanKid27]

i dreamed that on the first friday night of june! it came true!

[brendandugan]

i am so glad the clippers picked Griffin. All that crap about Rubio, who sucks, was scaring me bc i know the clipps track record lol. The media made it sound like Ricky Rubio was already given the league MVP for next season and put into the hall of fame...

[gutterguy720]

I was hoping OKC would get #1. Then they could keep Blake in OK. That being said, I did know he was ALL GALAXY?!!!

That's Stu Scott for ya.

[KarMaThr]

dunleavy go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lpr25]

Im sorry to say but the kings shouldve got number 1 pick

[lakerssskb8]

He'll be a 15/8 player rookie year.

[yvesabila43]

he will be just another olowakandi

[LukeemanT]

nah

[emerica93Ian]

he can do things olowakandi could never dream of doing

learn some facts before you look like an ass.

[flyinghotwing]

no one can suck that bad , well sorry there IS kwame doodoo brown too

[arthurfrancis82]

@yvesabila43 who gave your stupid ass 4 thumbs up on dis? blake is a beast hands down.

[xvpboyx]

lebron is going to have shaq now tho

[bplay915]

Blake griffin will make the clippers win. The Clippers will get 30+ wins next season.

[mackyville]

let see...

[ItsInTheGame11]

damn I'm happy that Ricky Rubio was fifth,he thought that he is goin' to be the first pick,oh boy you got all wrong...

[IMTURTLE92]

the only reason Rubio didn't get picked higher is because of what has now happend he has gone back to Spai any team with a top 3 pick that drafted him to turn around and say he was spending another year in Spain would have been screwed

[devario234]

we new that wait until he play with lebron kobe wade melo and shaq just wait

[whysportsareevil]

the obvious, he was first

[kobetown8]

man sucks for blake going to a cheap ass team the l.a crappers as long as he is in that team i doubt hes gonna be an allstar with the antichrist dunlevy leading the team . srry blake u r now under the crapper curse. im looking forward to seeing ralph lawler have a stroke while commentating during a crapper game. go lakers 2010 champs

[Kanegamereview]

so true i feel sorry for him hes on a shitty team

Lakers vs Cav 2010

because Lebron James gets Shaq

[txhldemking1024]

cavs are still going to suck. and lebron will always be overrated

[Dragan007BJ]

Cavs sucks and Lebron is overrated?!?!?! hahahahahaha, i dont think so bro...

[JahmAidy]

hahaha! are you kidding me! lebron is far from overrated.

[cangriman0101]

@JahmAidy Lebron is overrated? LOLOL! YOU IGNORANT FOOL! Lebron leads the nba in scoring even with a monster team, and the only that's right by him in points is KD, and who besides KD is gonna make the points on that team? Westbrook? lol!Lebron Does some beast blocks, averages more assist than most of the point guards.

[8495627913]

@cangriman0101 he lead the nba in scoring? i thought it was kevin durant

[cangriman0101]

@8495627913 That was 6 months ago, he led the NBA in scoring! Use common sense man!

[HaloTheaterKing]

Shaq is kinda getting old though so I dont kno but Lakers vs Celtics would be unoriginal Lakers vs Cavs would be Kobe and Gasol vs Lebron and Shaq.

[theprofessor23]

Stephen Curry will be the rookie of the year.

Guaranteed!

[friedricemonster]

Man i seriously hate Griffin going to Clippers because Clippers do not know how to produce superstars from draft picks. Take their top drafts like Livingston and Olowokandi, they have all failed.

[NBAfan1993]

i wish the lakers selected em but at least in the city of la

[aznpowerdaniel]

u noe wat i dont understand

david stern sed

the los angles clippers select blake griffin.......

he didnt evn say the college "from the university of oklahoma"

i mean thts probably the first time ive evr seen him do tht

not say the college or country after the players name

[TionMJ23]

he did, it was cut off thru editing

[furyofbongos]

We? What, does he have a mouse in his pocket?

[trapone3]

blake griffin has a shit face just look at him!

[ghanagangsta22]

he does.. He seems like he doesn't really and care and a lil mean

[friedricemonster]

No way man, Griffin is one cool ass dude, he had a diary video of himself on youtube and seemed like a really nice guy. He has a really laid back demeanor which can be mistaken for lack of careness. Trust me, if he didnt care, he wouldnt have dominated college basketball.

[finpank]

whers he from .?? has his hair cut like an african american...but looks mixed race.

[oscareric2007]

his dad is black and his mom is white

[Cav203]

he is mixed

[NARUTOOOO123123123]

Clippers need to send Randolf or Camby packing.

[friedricemonster]

Yeap, Randolph would take some seriously playing time away from Griffin and that would hurt Griffin's development. Randolph is even that good anyways. Camby has been injury prone all his career, im sure Kaman will do great next season as their center. So yeah, send both of them packing.

[absolutTBG]

hey guys it does`nt matter pick 1 or 15 look at Kobe pick 13 in 96 and now he is the best in the world

[iDance1707]

you are so dam true ! its take like only 3 years to become best!!!

[SunAmigos3]

sub if like basketball!!!

[rvd707]

the next michael olowokandi

[friedricemonster]

No way, Olowokandi was never proven and was drafted as a huge project. He came from a college that was not even known for their sports program and played in a weak ass conference.

on the other hand, Griffin banged with the best in college and dominated against the best.

Griffin would be instantly productive and should be able to output some where like 15-17 ppg and 10+ rebounds his rookie season.

[AmpRoy7MVP09]

Blake Griffin is going to be another Carlos Boozer

[skuibiza]

batista

[airjordanalldaybaby]

Hah. I don't care about the 1st, 2nd, hell any of the first round picks. I'm looking more at that steal at number 37. Kudos to the Spurs. Blair is going to be a beast in the league and a lot of teams are going to regret passing up on him (I'm looking at you Blazers).

[RAMMSTEINERD]

bust

[ldc62]

overrated but hes not gonna hav bad stats cuz hes playing for the clippers

[mr3000ts]

@RAMMSTEINERD u donno nothin about basketball calling blake griffin a bust

[TheMultirock]

I don't like the trade from B.J Mullens to Oklahoma City not even the shaq trade to cleveland those guys are big guys i bet nobody could guard shaq and they just got B.J

[CavsLBJ2]

that shit is so raw

[jtjr3112]

look for him to fail

[lagangsta1]

wow there are a lot of haters here

[Woodwind007]

They should have drafted small forward

[Ascension100]

lol mixed breeds comin up, first obama than griffin

[pingtotzki]

mulatto

[elvisniperx]

oh so he's like Jason Kidd?

sorry sorry sorry.

[basketballdennis]

this guy wud fit more in the twolves and rubio would fit more in clippers, they should trade!

[aznbrilliantman]

The clippers don't need another point guard. Why would the Clippers draft a point guard when they already have eric gordon and Bardon Davis?

[clickpick92]

yea Clippers are in dire need of a PF and a SF. They already have camby and Davis to fill the C and PG.

[seyhyunxx96]

And Eric Gordon as SG.

[Tyr0o0]

that is the worst first pick i ever seen, this draft year is crap

[litavsjenna]

Kwame Brown:worst first pick ever!!

[delpierocro]

hes indian?

[brownheartxxx]

just white boy LMAO

[elvisniperx]

I think blake griffin is a bust, only white international players can really play good game these days in the NBA. white americans are left off.

[wuk122]

he looks like mickey mouse

[josayeee]

BUST!!

[mr3000ts]

@josayeee wtf u talkin about bust

blake griffin won rookie of the year dumbass

[amBe23]

Good pick but clips still need some hard working players....

[what356]

warm the bench well!

[henshin25]

This draft was like 2003 when James,Wade,Melo and others got drafted.Clippers are going to change because Baron is good,Camby is good, and if they can stay healthy they would be in the playoffs.

[wavyrob19]

Hell no it wasnt. Most of these players are bust. You must be new to this. Clippers still wont be in the playoffs. They will be making trades.

[worldofvideos]

nah, 03 had a lot more talent than 09. Can't really compare the two.

[x69Crunchyx]

definately

[Lilmarkis13]

Griffin reminds me of a Michael Beasley

[tintin4561]

he wont make it in the nba he expects to drive and dunk or post up against defenses hes never seen before i expect anohter bummer like jj redick or adam morrison

[J808AllDay]

cool guy.......

[ShhhToTheHane]

i want the clippers to get better because i liek there team, they have potential they jsut need a new coach

[bullets0000]

Wrong. What they need is a new boss.

[IanNikko95]

too bad he's on the team that everybody laughs at

[UN1QU3sounds]

They have enough forwards as it is.

[DeAnge69]

isnt it los angeles lakers

[Nightelfyo]

LA has two teams but the clippers are the worst in the NBA and the lakers are the best in the NBA

[Unknown21714]

Hopefully Blake Griffin survives his time with the Clippers.

[xTakTak1]

i have a question. is the NBA draft for college player getting into the nba or just nba players switching teams?

[q8kuwait10]

mostly college players, high schools sometimes

[WallyMcWalsen]

mmm no, a year of college has been a reqquirement since the year after LeBron was drafted, and sometimes players are drafted from oversees also.

[complicatedphenomena]

college player getting into the nba. its not considered a "draft" if they already played for a nba team thats called a trade.

[85superstar85]

Clippers will be better with him, eric gordan, zach randolf, baron davis, and camby!

[friedricemonster]

Zach Randolf needs to go. He is a good player but he doesnt really benefit the team much. He fights with his team mates and is very stubborn, and self-fish at times.

If Zach stays in LA he is going to eat away Griffins playing time and that would seriously hurt Griffins development.

[85superstar85]

Good point

[AndrewDosCuatro]

R.I.P Michael Jackson

[bullets0000]

Wrong name, dude.

R.I.P Blake Griffin

[deedeedoodoodoe3]

haha

that sux for griffin

[SillyDuck2]

no surprise haha

[DragOzze]

lol poor griffin
