Blake Griffin

Today, I think I'll tell you about the last rookie of the year, Blake Griffin. In 2009, Blake Griffin was the first pick in the NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers! Before his first season started, Blake Griffin injured his knee! He had to sit out the whole season, so the Clippers were still terrible and tickets were very cheep.

Just because of Blake Griffin, tickets went up by about $10! He was healthy enough to play last season. I think he got better because of his injury somehow! He was a monster last season. Here are his two nicknames and how he got them. The first is The Blake Show. That is because people only came to Clippers games to see him play. Blake Griffin's second nickname was The Poster Child. That was because he has so many amazing dunks.
