    Also, I know this is like 3 days old but I don't know if anyone saw it, because it's a Bobcats "highlight" :

    Is this the worst airball you've ever seen?

      He does have a seemingly disinterested attitude but I think that's just his demeanor. Because the dude hustles on the court, you always see him hustling.

        This is probably the last time I saw him relatively happy on TV:

        Now, I understand taking this year seriously since they have an opportunity to make something happen, but I think he's taking it TOO seriously. Even Kobe and LeBron have fun with the media a lot of times, whether it's intentionally sarcastic comments or just a joke here or there. I can see if he was like D. Rose, but Rose's personality is just a soft-spoken personality.

        This dude just seems like he's overdoing the whole "focus" and "determination" and "seriousness" thing, IMO. That, and all the flopping/"crying" some guys say he does on the court.

        And I LIKE Blake Griffin's game, I'm just sayin'.

        Man come on.. maybe he's not some extravert.. who cares

        ..and dont even use kobe because that dude has spent his entire career trying to be somebody else

        and lebron loves attention and is still insecure

        See how easy it is to pick out a personality flaw?

        ...at least he didnt say Im going to be in it then back out.

          Oh yes, I know. I want JaVale McGee to take his rightful crown.

          And honestly, I kinda want to see Josh Selby in it. Dude can put it down probably better than Nate Robinson, or at least he's comparable. But that's off-topic though.

            I didn't pick out a personality flaw. I'm looking at his actions.

                What actions... the dude goes on the court and gives his all... whether or not you like the flopping, if he's on your team the man goes out to do his work

                Youre mentioning press conference facial expressions and happy happy joy joy personality.. that means absolutely nothing at all

                  He's no different then any other star in the NBA as regards to flopping and yelling for calls in the NBA IMO.

                  It's a little irritating but it is what it is.

                    I'm mentioning his general attitude, which does mean something in sports. It's how your judged by the media and the fans, whether it's fair or not. ALSO, I didn't even say anything about his effort on the court, so that point is unwarranted. I said I like his game, and I clearly see he gives his all on the court. That's wasn't a part of the point I was making. I was talking about his attitude OFF the court.

                    Attitude doesn't mean anything though? I guess that's why guys like T.O. routinely get called "Team Obliterator" and guys like Ochocinco are shunned and blasted by media because of their personalities outside of the workplace.

                    But hey, I guess it's ok to judge a player's body language to assume he's checked out of a game and mentally unstable, as long as it's during the course of the game, right?

                        What exactly does Griffin have in comparison to TO and Ochocinco that would make you think you know him well enough (or have seen or heard enough)to make any kind of declarative comment about his "general personality"?

                          Even though all he does IS dunk, really.

                          Anyone think Blake Griffin is becoming sort of a....d-bag? His attitude is starting to become a little TOO serious and kind of, idk, crybaby-ish.
