Blake Griffin is a remarkable athlete, just as Jordan and LeBron and Shaq and many others have been. But one of the reasons for the excitement that Lin has generated is that, as viscerally exciting it is to see Griffin dunk, it is the thrill that football provides, not the beauty that is at the heart of basketball as I feel it. The guy with all the assists, the guy who makes an entire team produce a bucket, is a finer thing to watch. Lin is 6'3" -- my height -- so it gives me more a kick.
@hahaitsu1 I'm not saying he tried to injure him, as I said earlier I don't believe it's a flagrant. And no that's not what I'm saying, but griffin could have made this challenge one of two ways and he certainly chose the far more dangerous one; jumping into someone in the air will always be risky and that's why it was a stupid challenge. Don't twist my words.
Shouldn't have been a flagrant foul, Griffin obviously went for the ball, and they fell together, griffin didn't try to slam horford to the ground or anything
did u see that guy sitting there during the replay and didnt even look over at them at 1:09

@asib12 He didn't try to injure him. So you're saying no one should block shots anymore because they could all POTENTIALLY injure someone....

@hahaitsu1 That doesn't give anyone license to make a challenge that could injure someone.
