Blake Griffin leads Nicholas Sparks book club

Blake Griffin leads NBA book club in Jimmy Kimmel skit

Clippers forward Blake Griffin is no stranger to comedy. He performed at The Laugh Factory last month and did improv with Craig Ferguson in 2013. He was also an intern at Funny or Die during the last lockout. 

Griffin's latest comedic foray is a skit with fellow NBA players Matt Barnes, Chandler Parsons and Iman Shumpert for Jimmy Kimmel Live, where they play book club members discussing a Nicholas Sparks novel.

It's a curious way to promote the release of the upcoming movie based on Sparks' book. How much crossover is there between NBA fans and Nicholas Sparks fans?
