For once, Staples Center isn’t just the Lakers home court. There is another team that, even though it has a losing record, is actually gaining its own momentum.
Yes, the Los Angeles Clippers are making a name for themselves, and they are doing it with pure youth. They have the offensive machine Eric Gordon, who helped Team USA win gold this summer, and then they have the kid I like to call “The Monster”.
“The Monster” came straight from Oklahoma, missed his first NBA season due to injury, and was somewhat forgotten this past summer due to John Wall, LeBron, and the many summer storylines for the NBA. Yes, if you haven’t figured it out, the kid’s name is Blake Griffin, and not only is he making a nice run for the Slam Dunk Contest, but he is neck-and-neck with Reebok poster-child, John Wall, for Rookie Of The Year.
Blake Griffin is making waves in LA, and has already begun making waves all over the NBA world.
What a year (plus a few weeks) it’s been for Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose.
