Blake Griffin is one of the most impressive young players in the NBA today. Nobody can question that. He averaged 22.5 points a game in his second year in the league, after missing his entire rookie season due to injury. Griffin may also be one of the most athletically-gifted players ever. His talent is incredible. He seems to jump higher than anyone else on the court. He gets to the rim like we’ve rarely seen. He dunks like the best of them.
However, there is one problem with Griffin- he plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. Most basketball fans will agree that the Clippers are one of the worst franchises in sports. There seems to be a consensus about this fact around the sports world. The Clippers have never won an NBA Championship; they have never even come close. Most Clippers seasons end up with a losing record and almost never in the playoffs. Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, is constantly considered the worst owner in sports. He places financial gains over on-the-court success.
Due to this, Griffin deserves to play for a better team. I personally cheer for the Clippers because I have grown up on Los Angeles all my life. But, even I will admit that they are a pretty miserable franchise. I honestly feel bad for Griffin. He is simply to good to have to play with such a sorry team.
Lakers General Manager, please trade for this guy!
