why does every other nba player seem to hate blake griffin

[goduke]

Man I've never seen so many NBA players bitch like little girls about him. He plays wicked hard, so what? Why do they care because they're fat cats that dont want to look like they dont try? Let him play hard, if he burns out its his own fault. The worse thing that could happen is all this crap getting to him and he slows down his game. Hopefully it doesnt because as a sports fan its nice to know that certain players will come to play Mon-Sun and not just on primetime tv or when they feel like it

[oiler]

cause he a baller and loved how he stood up to odom.hes going to be good as long as he stays healthy

[Covy]

Michael Wilbon said it best....veterans don't like to get shown up by a rookie

[goduke]

then those veterans need to play harder.

[mlb]

cuz he is a young and getting love and hyped up

plus he is playing great and showing vets how to play hard every night

[BetjeBetje]

In every sports the talents are always being hated by the opponents.

Love this dude and he is gonna be big if he stays healthy indeed

[southpaw74]

He is a beast and is impressive to watch! Think if he gets on a good team...

[chaseutleyfan26]

they're intimidated. simple as that.

[Bradyd]

Blake Griffin is a big boy.. He doesn't need us trying to defend him...

^Agree with everyone said above.

It's like my lazy ass co-worker who gets pissed off at me for working hard. And later, gets more pissed at me after I got promoted. I don't really understand it, but hell, haters gonna hate and ballers are gonna ball.

[Z_Wipf]

Odom is notorious with doing just enough to get by so when he gets eadily shown up by a rookie he is going to bitch and get angry. Griffin is exactly what the NBA needs.

[Muggy]

He scares people. And dude is a workhorse on nearly every single play. That type of attitude rubs people the wrong way sometimes because they aren't wired the same way.

[onlooker]

He needs some work done on that face. Not marketable.

I still think the guy is over hyped, and could understand the dislike. His team isn't even a playoff contender. If they were, then I could see the hype. He is all flash with that dunking. Gives ESPN some material. They love it.

[SouthBayGame]

He gets way too much love from the Media. If he was given less attention the players would probably like him more. I love the replay where Blake throws the ball through the rim without his hand touching the rim. Thats not a dunk. He is good, but his team sucks and he still has a lot to prove.

i agree he has work to do but its the effort he gives that makes me like him so much. He never shuts down. Think of all the athletes you get mad at when watching sports. I bet 90 percent of them are ones that you think arent giving any effort or look like they dont care. You just cant ask for much more then someone who goes balls to the wall every day. Plus that clippers franchise needs something to be happy about

So you would like him better if he was better looking?

That's a little weird dude.......

[figue]

Because he is white

[Grits n' Gravy]

The kid is a beast right out the gate. Look forward to watching him develop over the next few years. Imagine how great he would be if he had a vet teammate like KG or Duncan schooling him on defensive techniques.
