NBA Fans React to Blake Griffin News

Six-time NBA All-Star Blake Griffin announced his retirement in April. Spending 13 seasons in the NBA after being drafted first overall by the LA Clippers in 2009, Griffin had a Hall of Fame career.

Griffin spent eight seasons with the Clippers before being traded to the Detroit Pistons where he had the best season of his NBA career. Averaging 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 75 games for the Pistons in 2019, Griffin led Detroit to the playoffs where he appeared in two games on a torn meniscus.

That first round series against the Milwaukee Bucks was the end of Griffin’s days as a star, but he still had strong moments as a role player for the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics to finish his career.

Griffin has done a lot of acting and comedy work over the years, so while this would be a new role for him, he is not unfamiliar with being on camera.
