Blake Griffin (LA Clippers thread)

[sinobball]

It's reported on most media outlets that Griffin's 5-year contract is worth 95 million. That's outrageous. Sure, he'll bring to the team ticket-holders since SportsCenter will repeat his dunks nonstop every single night, but come on now. He's about the same level as Paul Millsap IMO.

PS: that picture of Darius Miles makes me nostalgic. Once upon a time I followed the Clippers (to watch Wang Zhizhi...) and became a fan of the young Miles/Q-Rich duo, their energy and that famous head bump. Q-Rich is still in the NBA, however Miles has been out of the league for a decade already, it seems. At least he got some movie roles (actually I haven't watched any of them).
