| Thanks for the article Eric, nice work as usual. It's especially comforting to hear you saying good things about Griffin. Man! He sounds more and more like the real deal. 1.5% body fat? Is that even human? Look at it this way. If nothing else, nothing else at all... the Clippers will be improved just because of the addition of such a positive attitide. Nevermind on the court, where the results should be obvious, when you add a player with that kind of work ethic and determination it effects things off court and at practice too. Hustle is infectious. It gets guys fired up, and eventually focused maybe. It builds chemistry, especially if the player is unselfish. Kinda like when Bird came to Boston? I know, I know... that's a lot to hope for. But hey, this is the start of a new Clipper era. It's a good time to hope. So uh... I hope he learns to hit free throws. |

Graduating elementary school, Griffin was 6'1". Three months later he was a 6'5" freshman in high school.
Don't you mean middle school--seems unrealistic for him to be 6'1'' after 5th grade :p |
