I swear I knew in 2012 that the dude was gonna deal with a ton of injuries to slow him down by or before 30. I remember watching tv seeing him do these ridiculous throw downs like he was on a trampoline and thinking oh man, he’s gonna get injured and fade, and it actually made me feel a bit sad back then, like I was watching a brief thing. Great player in his time though and he gave it his all.

change his game how? we cant say for sure, but we must assume it's his injuries holding him back, and there is no return from that. Why would someone of his size and stature and potential athleticism not be able to at least defend well. Dude is 6'9 260. I mean, come on. If someone like him isnt able to get a reliable 3 rbds, 5 pts, 2 asts per game in 12 minutes and be a decent defender against a big guy, why is he in the league? I mean, I am more puzzled why cousins is still in the league tbh.

It's honestly sad and not something Blake could completely control. He even realized very early on in his career than his style of play would be unsustainable and put in work to transform his game. But still, he succumbed to injuries. I still remember how some people were saying he could rival Tim Duncan as the best PF of all time as early as his rookie season

I remember the 2009 draft. All the pundits were saying it was a 1 man draft and I think the Clippers were fined for saying the day after the lottery that they would take Blake. Lo and behold that draft also gave us Curry, Harden, DeRozan, Jrue Holiday and other solid players like Rubio, Ellington, Demare Carrol, Pat Beverly, Darren Collision , Patty Mills and Danny Green.

Blake has gone on record saying that the Celtics locker room is his favorite he’s been on and he’s having a great time on a great team. I’m glad he’s in Boston now.

I may not have used the word "fall" to describe the final stretch of Blake's career, I would have replaced it with "the natural course of an athlete's body". We are so used to seeing Lebron's constancy ( or Cristiano Ronaldo) of being at the top despite his age, that we easily forget that we are talking about humans with different features and moreover life goals. Blake did his best, blood, sweat, and tears are on the parquet, and with all his injuries, he has had enough. We'll always be grateful to him for what he did for the game and the narrative, Lob City baby!

Blake Griffin had heck of a career in the NBA. He is currently a free agent at this present moment. Why aren’t the NBA sign him to any team right now? With his incredible athleticism, smooth skills, and captivating personality, he has established himself as one of the most prominent figures in the world of basketball. He was known for his impressive dunking skills and shooting from mid-range. He made his mark on the court.

Most high flyers decline at some point. When the majority of your game is based on athleticism, u become more prone to injuries as your career progresses, and even if u don’t get injured often, other aspects of your game suffer because of your reliance on your athleticism, and you become more of a role player on the team if not a liability. A lot of high flyers have had to change their game to stay relevant in the league when that “check knees light” comes on

Man early in his career he was the nastiest dunker the sport had likely ever seen. It's crazy how fast his career went down the tubes. But hey that "dunk" when he was like 5 feet away from the rim but was high enough to basically throw the damn ball through it still doesn't make sense. (I put it in quotes because his hand didn't even touch the rim)

Blake peaked early it seems in a way. His first season was his best statistically going by points and rebounds. As his game got more polished, he declined in a few ways, especially a little bit with rebounding. He improved his free-throws and jump-shots tremendously. He passed better and learned to post up effectively. He became more injury prone. Being athletic and a little heavy, such as Blake, wears down the lower part of the body, specifically the knees. I think that at this point he is better off playing 15-25 minutes and trying to get in a little more decent basketball shape. I think that he was a quality draft pick. He reminded me of Shawn Kemp in some ways.

The injuries and shit are insane yet these loser fans still spend all day booing and jeering and saying personal attacks they would never say to his face without a whole crowd between them.

Blake is one of my all time favorite Sooner athletes and it just goes to show that no matter how good you are it's still REALLY difficult to win a championship in college or the NBA. The Clippers with him and Chris Paul probably should have won at least one but they lacked a few key role players plus they were going up against the Spurs and OKC with KD. He's had an incredible career and exceeded all expectations plus he's never gotten into any trouble that I know of other than punching that equipment manager.

Great player and yet his career was oddly predictable. You had to know when he won that dunk contest and was jumping out of the building left and right with ridiculous throw downs on a nightly basis in 2011-2012 that this dude is gonna majorly injure his legs or back and have decreased hops and mobility and then unfortunately fade because the rest of his skills wouldn’t be enough to compensate. Make no mistake, he made a legit valiant effort to become a better shooter and playmaker - and he did improve in those respects a lot - but when you’re a big guy chances are that jumping out of the building with freakish ability like that is going to catch up you, and did. I was staring at this guy on tv in 2012 like “he’s gonna be grounded by 30 with injuries.” He reminded me of Larry Johnson as far as his transition to being a more ground based player after injuries too. Either way, I respect the impact he made on the game and his hard work to improve. Lob city is still missed.

Blake is just under rated because he’s a big man that everybody expects to dunk on every play. He plays in his own pace and I feel like he coulda had something in Detroit if they actually tried to build around him but instead they traded everybody away. Just look at that squad in 2018-2019 and look how they’re doing now on different teams. Just wasn’t no patience 🤷🏻‍♂️ don’t @ me if you don’t watch basketball and just stat watch and listen to the meme media.
