[9elephant9]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5ft 5in guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[bbender1986]

lol they make a big deal about it but he's never going to be a healine like sir MJ, lebron james, kobe, shaq, he just won't compare..just like college football theres a lot of legends in college that never where anything in the pros... i could name a fistfull of nebraska quarterbacks....

[KendraLeigh1424]

[yadadagrrl]

[hyphyballer408]

[Scubadoozie]

no, this is a year old, he declared this year.

[dellimel809]

damn datz fucked up

well i hope next year he comes 2 da cavs

[ZhouTai25]

he is a very good player him & hasheem thabeet are gonna be 2 of the best in the nba when they get there

[Scubadoozie]

Thabeet will not be an offensive for in the NBA, he will  be a non-flashy defensive center

[NewHemingway]

@ZhouTai25

LOL

[bay745]

wut a awesome thing.blake griffin is an animal

[Skyline7073]

Are people talking shit on Ricky Rubio!? Thats funny, since Kobe, Chris Paul, and other people in the NBA highly praise him and talk about how amazing he is. Oh and as for people talking shit on the Euro leauge. I haven't seen one game, but if someone like Pau Gasol was taken from there, you people might want to retract your statements.

[Scubadoozie]

actually, I watched a EURO game the other day, and it was attrocious. I saw the point guard lose control of his dribble like 5 times. I do believe Rubio will develop in a nice point guard in the NBA

[ldc62]

Rubio is has raw talent and a lot of potential. But hes far from being a complete player. But i will agree that Euro league is a very good league

[greekgod33]

your reatrded.ricky rubio is all hype..hes not that good.blake is a beast

[zbcbdsjb]

Ricky Rubio 1 pick

Blake Griffin 2pick

[BlackRainZero]

By no means Ricky will be picked that high when he doesn't have a lot of experience with the professional players.

[zbcbdsjb]

We ll c man,the mocking draft got him in the top 5 picks and its often really acurate,what expirience does Blake G or any other player have with professional players and he ll be 1 pick,we ll wait and see.

[Scubadoozie]

I wouldn't call the EURO league professional.

[zbcbdsjb]

You dont call it professional,cause you know nothing about it,its the 2nd best Basketball competiton in the world,only the NBA is a higher level of Basketball.Majority of them are international players,many of the make millions and some are as good as NBA players.I dont really understand how you dont call it professional...

[Scubadoozie]

have you ever watched EURO league? Ist alot sloppier that college ball and the NBA.

[zbcbdsjb]

I watched the Euro League the top spanish and Russian teams I watch there is no chance its slower the college.

But its slower then the NBA.

[Scubadoozie]

I said SLOPPIER

[Skyline7073]

Wow, completely no love for the game. And your classic case of american ignorance.

[Scubadoozie]

really I am, how about goingo n youtube and calling someone ignorant... thats lame man. I wasn't being ignorant, because I watched an Olympiakos game last weekend and I thought is was very sloppy.

[SpurEmpireStrikeBack]

you're the one that's stupid he is trying to set a example for the youth and himself so youngsters don't think they have a chance of the nba if there not good enough dummy and have a job to fall back on lolers

[Skyline7073]

Ummmmmm, why the hell have you responded to my comment? I was calling Scubadoozie ignorant, not Blake Griffin lol. So please don't call me stupid, since you clearly have made yourself look foolish. ^_^

[SixFootEightTao]

you are retarded. that dude is not even that good. the only reason you think he is good is becuz he plays euro league and they sux. rubio cant shoot and he is not that fast. he could drive it in but in the nba he'll get block more often. they have quicker guards in the nba so he would have a hard time dribbling in and out.

[zbcbdsjb]

Fuck ur some sort of a retarted dumb ass thats just my opinion he ll make a gud gurad he is young has lots of improvment to do he is defenetly better then you,c I fell after few yrs of expirience he could be a player like Steven Nash..

[SixFootEightTao]

im just saying he is not going to be that great in the nba becuz it is a lot harder than euro league. he could pass and do some fancy stuff but he wont able to score as much. look at josh childdress. he was in the nba and he sux, so he went to euro league and is balling everyone out. of course he is better than me becuz he played b-ball since he was 4 and is 6' 4". if i was that size and played b-ball for that long. i'd be a lot better, but i didnt so its not fair. he is good but not that good

[zbcbdsjb]

Maybe ur right we have 2 wait and c,what happens.I think he will be a top 5 pick just my opinion he might not score alot,but he has a gud BBall IQ and is a gud play maker he is still a teenager,so It might take him few yrs to get used to the speed and quality of the NBA,but I reckon he will end up a big force there and will be a similar pointguard like Steve Nash....

[PatriotPrideBoy]

Don't bet on it,he is the best college basketball player right now.People said Kevin Durant wouldn't be anything in the NBA,guess what? He's already made a name for himself in the NBA.One of the top 5 scorers in the NBA.

[SixFootEightTao]

nobody said kevin durant would be garbage in the NBA. everybody said kevin durant was going to be a star in the NBA. and i was talking about ricky rubio not blake griffin if you misunderstood.

[soonerfreak28i]

you might be right but he was only 17 when he played in the summer olympics and he played with the gasol brothers who both play in the nba and he helped get his team to the gold medal round and spain put up a fight with some of the NBAs best, but we'll see how good he is after the draft

[michaelluetk]

Sooners are going to do work this year!

[komikanicole]

Memphis Grizzlies would be perfect for this young man. He would have guys on the perimeter and he can handle the paint.

[Lansdowne06]

I like how he purposely made it sound like he was going to say he was declaring for the draft, for dramatic effect. Then said he was staying, and waited for the ovation, only it never came.

Sometimes players get the ovation for deciding to stay in school, but it didn't happen here. No matter, Griffin is an excellent NBA prospect for next year.

[guitarislifetome]

oh yeah, the press is always giving ovations

[Lansdowne06]

whatever dude

[soonerdrummer12]

they did for sam bradford

[FTekke]

was he expecting an ovation or something?

[Shabutie545]

from the press?

[ohr7]

thats awesome its good to see an outstanding player stay in college once in a while

[sooners124]

yes

[sooners124]

yes

[sooners124]

yes
