    Blake Griffin: The NBA’s Forgotten Superstar

    Yahoo! Sports On Blake Griffin, the NBA’s forgotten superstar The NBA is a notoriously star-driven league, and business is booming. All across the Association, there are immense players wielding tremendous celebrity and sway on and off the court. From Luka Doncic to LeBron James, from Toronto to Oklahoma City, the NBA is loaded with stars. And yet one of its biggest names has put together an absolute gem of a season, seemingly completely under the radar. Just a few years remo

    This week on JBTpod: It’s been a wild week of deals around the association, we discuss the Blake And Mirotic trades as well as the Celtics’ acquisition of Greg Monroe. LeBron to Golden State? We give you our thoughts of one of the wildest rumors of the season. We also discuss the injury to John Wall and how it’s going to affect Nick’s Wizards.

    Who Won and Who Lost in the Blake Griffin Trade?

    When Blake Griffin entered the Staples Center for his free agency pitch last summer, the Clippers had public announcer David Courtney declare that they were planning on retiring Griffin’s number in 2029. They even raised a fake banner to the actual spot that they were reserving for Griffin. If the last six months has taught us anything, it’s that loyalty is dead and that the NBA is a business. The Clippers shockingly sent their 5-time All-Star to Detroit yesterday in a blockb

    How the Clippers Turned it Around, and if That’s What’s Best for Them

    After a 113-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Clippers sit at 17-19 and just one game out of the last playoff spot in the west. Yes, this is true, I double-checked. These are the same Clippers that only two weeks ago were 11-18, injury-riddled and on tank watch. Now, they have won six of seven and are back in the playoff race. More importantly, they are healthy, well for them. Blake Griffin and Milos Teodosic returned this week. Patrick Beverley is out f

    This week on JBT pod: The All-Star weekend is rapidly approaching, we make our predictions on who is likely to feature from both conferences. In the Buissink-Manuell scale we debate whether the Raptors deserve more credit for their recent play and if the return of Blake Griffin can make the Clippers a playoff contender. Also, is Anthony Davis on his way out of the Pelicans? And can Kawhi help bring the Spurs back into contention come post-season. Plus we’ve got JB-Team of the

    The Clippers are Screwed

    “Life is like the river, sometimes it sweeps you gently along and sometimes the rapids come out of nowhere.” Author Emma Smith not only summed up the complexity of life but also the current troubles of the Los Angeles Clippers. How apt that a metaphor about a river describe the plight of Doc Rivers’ team? The Clippers started the season full of promise going on a 4-0 run, and their star, Blake Griffin was putting his name in the MVP conversation. Since then, they’ve gone 4-13

    The Not So New, But Very Much Improved Blake Griffin

    Is there a player in today’s NBA that has moved around the spectrum of overrated to underrated more than Los Angeles Clippers’ forward, Blake Griffin? Maybe Russell Westbrook, but unlike Griffin, Westbrook’s game has remained relatively consistent throughout his career barring the astronomical statistics we saw last year. Like Westbrook last year, Griffin has seen the departure of a franchise superstar and seen his game skyrocket in ways that not many saw possible. Paul leavi

    A Sizzling Start by the Clippers

    There were a lot of questions surrounding the Clippers heading into the new season. How was Doc going to integrate the new pieces? Would Blake be able to step up? What would the team look like without Chris Paul? Well, it’s now time that we evaluate this team without constantly bringing up CP3. This is a new and exciting Clippers roster, and while there are still plenty of questions surrounding the team (they’ve versed two of the worst teams in the NBA); so far this team has

    Can We Please Set Point Forward Blake Griffin Free?

    When Chris Paul discharged himself from Los Angeles and landed in Houston, it opened up a window for something that hoop heads have spent years praying for. Point Blake. Behind Blake Griffin’s internet viral poster dunks hides one of the most uniquely skilled big men in the league. At 6’10, Griffin has the passing and ball handling abilities of a traditional point guard. He’s one of only 13 players in NBA history who are 6-foot-9 or taller and had a season with an assist rate

    Can Blake Live up to the Max?

    Blake Griffin is going to make a lot of money over the next five years, $173 million to be exact. Is that warranted for an injury prone, undisciplined player who struggles to make a consistent three-point shot? (Griffin’s career percentage from three is 29.9%). He’s missed a total of 83 games since 2014-15, a time where Griffin should be entering his physical prime. On the other hand, Griffin’s talent cannot be denied. He is a five-time All-Star, a Rookie of the Year and has

    CenterCourt: Are Lob City's Days Numbered?

    The Los Angeles Clippers have become the Dallas Cowboys of basketball. Of course the Cowboys to this point have flipped the script as they sit 11-2, that hasn’t been the case in their recent history. What other team seems to falter under pressure? Choke or fail to show up in the big games, seemingly every year is considered a title contender, but just never seem to get over that hump? It’s the Clippers, a team with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and JJ Reddick in t
