“I had to keep my word.” But what is it about Blake Griffin ? From a chat with Derrick White before the game against the Hornets. The former Clipper approaches his rear, and asks him to send him lob passes. Derrick White runs, and Blake Griffin flies to the alley-oop. A visible action in the Top 10 of the night, and which set fire to the bench and the hall of the Celtics. It was quite simply Blake Griffin’s first dunk in his new colors, when he managed more than 1,000 in his career…
“I had to put up with a lot of jokes from these guys and I threw a few myself, so it’s probably justified” laughs Blake Griffin. “But it’s just nice to be here and fit in. I also find it really funny… I’ve said it before, but at the beginning of my career, everyone said: “Do something other than dunk”. Now everyone just wants me to dunk. »
“If you walk into the locker room and you’re down, he’ll probably cheer you up”
Holder in place of Al Horford, Blake Griffin signed his best game of the start of the season with 9 points to 4 of 5 on shots and 2 rebounds. He participated greatly at the start of the match to quickly take a 20/25 point lead. His professionalism and his personality conquered the staff and his teammates.
“He’s a great guy. He’s great for our team, on and off the pitch.” points out Joe Mazzulla. “He gives his all, he’s super aggressive and he’s a great teammate. I thank him for his professionalism and his work ethic which allows him to be always ready. The season is long, and we will need more evenings like this. »
Author last night of his career pass record, and also former glory of Oklahoma, Marcus Smart is also seduced by Blake Griffin, and his good humor.
“Blake is always in a good mood, no matter what” notes the Boston point guard. “If you walk into the locker room and you’re down, he’ll probably cheer you up. He’s a guy who is aware of all that, who has been in the NBA for a long time, who has done spectacular things himself on an individual level… He comes here, to occupy a lesser role while being happy and joyful, to teach the youngest to play… Considering what he did tonight, that’s all you can ask of a guy like Blake. He brings it every night. We love Blake and we’re glad he’s here. »
