I know it's pre-season, but dude looks like a man possessed out there. It's been a long time since we've seen a rookie dominate the way he has, although I suppose it's worth noting that he has had a one year advantage over the other rookies to watch and observe the game and get acclimated to his team.
John Wall has shown flashes of superstardom as well, but Griffin is gonna blow him and everybody else out of the water in this Rookie of the Year race. Barring injury, of course.
EDIT on January 17th, 2011 (MLK Day): And just like that, Griffin gets the season high in points amongst ALL NBA players. 47 points accompanied by 14 rebounds. This man is a rookie, folks.

Blake, like the rest of the NBA, was stuck behind Miami & John Wall hype.
He's going to be sick. 8)

Fuck LA move the Clippers to Seattle nobody gives a shit about them there.

L.A. can support three sports team of the same sport.

yup griffin is sick! he's so unlucky what happened to him in his rookie year but for sure he woulda had rookie of the year if he played. i saw him in summer league and preseason last year and he was killing it. He's something else, probably will be better than lebron too.
-
can't way to see guys like him a wall playing and developing.
-
In the game opener he finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists. Hope he can continue to play at this pace.
Here's the first basket of his career. lol, what a way to start things off

Fortunately he got lucky not to get hurt on his 1st basket ... his explosiveness is kind of similar of Amare one before he seriously get injured ...

Lol, I remember a yahoo article saying Blake Griffin is Amare + ball-handling + defense + rebounding + hustle + unselfish attitude + a will to win.
That said, he really does play recklessly. I honestly don't think he learned his lesson from his last injury. And for that, you almost gotta respect him even more for that. Lets hope hes able to stay healthy this time.

What a monster. 8)
-
he's dope, but he's gonna be injured in no time
-
Even though I hate/root against anything out of the state of Oklahoma..I do feel for the kid and wish him the best.

Looks like it with his style of play. Hopefully he proves us all wrong.

last year NIK said he was better than Lebron
lets see NIK run with that now
-
I'll be honest, I saw him dominate the college game & I thought he was going to be wack in the NBA, but if he keeps this up, I'll feel like a dick lol.

Theres no doubt in my mind that he'll be in the dunk contest this year.

I am more than willing to just surrender and declare Blake Griffin overlord of planet Earth.

2 time NBA champ James Posey :D

Posey guarded him on like a grand total of 4 possessions.

Posey guarded him on like a grand total of 4 possessions.
The highlights on SportsCenter showed about six plays of him scoring & three of them had Posey on him.
So there are thirteen more scores & he got fouled going up five times. That's eighteen more plays. I'm willing to say six more of them are with Posey guarding him. Six on Hibbert. & then three each on Foster & Tyler.
Anyway, it wasn't to take anything away from him, it's impressive, especially for a big man rookie. I would just like to see him do it again against better bigs. & he's had great games against better bigs, I mean like a standout 30+ point performance.

Clippers are officially the more exciting LA team to watch 8)
