Kenyon Martin

Yesterday, Kenyon Martin signed with the Clippers! I did not think this would be the team that he would sign with. I thought he would sign with the Lakers. Now I'm wondering if he will be the back-up to Blake Griffin. I think he will be.

Kenyon Martin was the 1st pick in the 2000 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. He's played as number 4 for most of his career, but he will be playing as number 2. During the lockout, he played in China. His team was the Xinjiang Flying Tigers. He's played for the New Jersey Nets and Denver Nuggets. He played for Cincinnati in college.

Do you think he will back-up Blake Griffin?

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.
