↵How courteous, for Blake Griffin has re-entered orbit and landed on our Fair Earth to discuss Friday's destruction of Planet Orange! Shortly after devastating Syracuse to the tune of 30 points and 14 rebounds, Griffin sent out a polite warning to anyone still not believing in Oklahoma.
↵↵⇥Still, while Griffin doesn't mind the monikers (The Beast, The Terminator, Superman), he takes exception to those who don't give the Sooners due respect.↵I implore Blake to glance at some of the rosters expected to land at the top of the NBA lottery, but that's beside the point. The point: look at that photo! Surely you noticed Friday, and the shot (video or static) has been transmitted a million times already. But seriously, he hit his head on the backboard during a baseline dunk.

↵⇥“There's no greater feeling than proving people wrong. Because we know,” Griffin said. “It's a team, it's not just me. It hasn't just been me all year long. It's never been just me. And it won't ever be just me, no matter where I am." ↵

↵I think all NBA scouts (professional or armchair) are hereby banned from questioning Blake's athleticism, ability to finish and length. I mean, seriously Blake. That's just mean.↵
