NBA Draft 2009 #1 Pick Blake Griffin

[wealthyhobo1]

2 years later the clippers have finished the rebuilding and looking like a legitimate contender

finally a #1 draft pick for the clippers that ended up not being a bust

[Henrylinthebest]

yah griffiin!!!!

[graveyard63]

Remember when Clippers selected Michael Olowakandi number 1 in 1998 draft? and he was supposed to be the next Hakeem Olajuwon, LMFAO, Olowakandi turned into one of the biggest busts in NBA history. At least now they could forget about that as they finally draft a great player, at least they didnt draft Thabeet, and I wonder what even happened to Olowakandi

wait blake has a white mom? is his dad black or something?

[midatlantic09]

@eznoob1v1 white mom, black dad.

[xboxkid1997]

[mwcarolina]

[bball697]

hasheem thabeeet haha wut a joke

[bkszflyboy17]

blake griffin is gonna be one of best. juss cant wait too see him play for the up coming season soo he can dunks on more ppls lol he a beast.

[Deejeezy405]

I remember when I used to play against him and his brother back in high school. Back then, Taylor was supposed to be the better player (and was the better player back then). Ironic how things turned out.

[xyzcannon92]

Its cool that he came back from that injury and proved all the doubters and haters wrong

[SmoothMM]

@xyzcannon92 I know! Now, we're waiting on Oden... Hopefully, he doesn't retire early like Yao. Injuries are a bitch...

[Zangboy56]

Once this kid reaches his full potential, NBA will never be the same.

[statusmvp01]

blake is a beast

[dridles]

@rayshuttlesworth i didnt know he would be that good.

[dridles]

@rayshuttlesworth  Shut up dick.

[murdaville100]

@dj23ordan Not trying to rip you but why did you say he is gonna be better than Howard? Out of all the players to pick you pick someone who dosen't even play the same position.

[silipbuy]

a larry bird like stat with the skills of tim duncan.

[MrAmazingWRW]

504 REBOUNDS! DAMN!

[Ilikesoda100]

The people who commented on this a year ago are so fucking wrong

[animetrix90]

I thought he was going to be a bust when he was drafted.... now i feel like a jackass

[9987666]

With the #1 pick in the 2009 nba draft the LA Clippers select the next Lebron James.

[jmd620]

the difference between him and thabeet...damn. biggest difference between a 1 and a 2 probably ever

[harris0n5]

Are these guys just born huge I mean in muscle there like bodybuilders how they have time to practice ball I don't know

[karan6]

He is such a fucking beast...he is a new hybrid of forwards like Kevin love these young guys grabbing rebounds like they nothing its sick

[SHAQISDANBA]

BLAKE GRIFFIN THE NEXT BIG THING!!!!! A REMIX OF SHAWN KEMP & CHARLES BARKLEY!!!! BEST THING SINCE SHAQUILLE O'NEAL IN 1992 NBA DRAFT.

[saiahendro]

this is one of he best draft year...

blake griffin,james harden,tyreke evans,brandon jennings,etc.

[BabbarKhalsaZindabad]

Is griffin black?

[Leaderjohny]

@BabbarKhalsaZindabad daddy is black mom white

[slipknoterman]

mixed

[demoncrash]

He's a double double machine this year

[TheIcecoldkidd]

He is so much better than Michael Beasley. ROY most def

[0701K60230]

ROTY!!! 2010-2011

[TheAwfulWaffle00]

The Clippers actually have a good looking team

Baron Davis running the point

Eric Gordon can shoot lights out AND can take it to the whole

Chris Kaman is a good big man

Blake Griffin is explosive.

I think that anytime soon this team would be great. YEAH I SAID IT.

[dalmain77]

@TheAwfulWaffle00

The Clippers starting 5 can really complete, the problem is the bench. Their bench is terrible. They have no other rebounders. Butler could put up some points sometimes..but nothing else.

[93VLR]

oden and Griffin will be good and future allstars

[TheNDCtalent2010]

@dridles not every player that got injured in his rookie season will likely be Greg Oden.

[21SPICY]

well normally ur a bust, when u play a game.... dumbass!!!

[mangokiller111]

he's a bust

[89Ryanhoward]

Blake Griffin is a superior athlete, and can't wait to see him in the nba in 2010-2011 season

[ks101794]

@89Ryanhoward

47 Points

14 rebounds

3 assists

Blake Griffin is the next power house next to Kevin Durant

[89Ryanhoward]

@ks101794 yea

[Jonathan6561]

At least Blake Griffin wasn't injured in his last college year, unlike Greg Oden who had an injured wrist. He'll probably be an all-star at least 7 times in his career, but I think an MVP in his future is unlikely.

[dmaccballer]

@dridles.. how is he a wasted draft pick.. he's their future.. who gave a crap if he played the full season.. the clippers wouldn't have made the playoffs as they are.. rest up young fella and kill it to shut these cats up next year!!!

[89Ryanhoward]

@dmaccballer I believe that

[ibuz24]

no blake will be not oden he is much better

[MultiMazdarx7]

Yo This Tha Shit

[dridles]

@royalfrechfrie24 Not Really. But If A Nba Player Gets Injured During His Rookie Season. His Carrer Won't Be Very Good. Look At Greg Oden. He Got Injured During His Rookie Season. Look At Him Now. He's Injured Again. So That Will Probably Happen To Blake Griffin Too.

[purepl416]

my uncle is a professor at oklahoma and he got me his autograph

[dridles]

He Hasn't Played In The NBA Yet. He's A Wasted Draft Pick.

[royalfrenchfrie24]

@dridles so if you get injured you're wasted?

[dridles]

@royalfrenchfrie24 Blake Griffin Will Probobly Be Injury-Prone For The Rest Of His Carrer. Look At Greg Oden. He Got Injured During His Rookie Season. Now He's Injured Again. It Will Probably Happen To Blake Griffin Too. Maybe He'll Have A Good Carrer. But I Doubt It.

[ComMain]

Okay...so you're calling it a wasted pick because some other guy is injury prone? Blake's injury was just a random occurence, not a sign of things to come. Just because Oden's a stiff and because of it he is prone to getting hurt it doesn't mean Griffin is going to be like that. He's athletic as hell.

[kelvinickable]

@ComMain now blake griffin has proved it all! :D
