Blake Griffin Will Receive Season-Ending Knee Surgery

January 15, 2010

Blake Griffin, the overall number one pick in the 2009 NBA draft will have season-ending surgery on his broken left kneecap. A lot of the media were excited when the preseason started but it seems that Blake Griffin just has not lived up to the built-up hype. Much like most of the movies I get excited about, he played well when it didnt count and then choked once it did injuring himself in the preseason finale. He has not played since. What does this mean for Griffin? Well, this means that his rookie season isnt officially until next season (which is great because this class is amazing). With Griffin out this puts the Los Angeles Clippers at a huge disadvantage. They were just 3 games out of the playoff picture in 11th position but they have lost two games in a row now. Things looked up when Griffin came back from his previous problem (knee injury in the final game of the preseason) but it looks like the Clipper curse has struck again. I dont know why they just cant pick in the draft very well, but I cannot remember a time they have picked someone who turned out half decent in the first round. Blake Griffin could probably still be a superstar in the end, but at this point, I dont give him much of a chance. By the time he gets back into the swing of things, he will be miles behind all those who came out of the draft with him. Stephen Curry is looking better and better everyday averaging 12.4 points per game, nearly 5 assists per game, and is shooting 43% from three point land. Its just a matter of time before my boy Curry takes off. The video is of Blake Griffin’s first injury back in October.
