He’s actually had a great career. For years, the Clippers got next but it just never manifested. He didn’t underachieve, he lived up to expectations.

Clippers Blake was a disrespectful player & one of the best dunker ever. He was so crazy at his position. so fun even to watch him. Injuries made him slow down. I miss him playing at his prime.

maybe wierd to say, but i think Blake is criminally underrated. He was able to improve his game, changed his game, etc...Amazing player, amazing person, amazing sportsman!

Bro did everything right: realized he’ll get injured often relying on athleticism that much and made an all time transformation and still ended up getting his career destroyed by injuries. Sometimes you can do everything right and still turn out wrong sadly

Blake was a dope from early to mid 2010s. From his dunks to athleticism.

It's honestly sad and not something Blake could completely control. He even realized very early on in his career than his style of play would be unsustainable and put in work to transform his game. But still, he succumbed to injuries. I still remember how some people were saying he could rival Tim Duncan as the best PF of all time as early as his rookie season

In Blake’s prime he was such a good passer out of the post, it took his game to another level, and he was a joy to watch

Fortunately he’s legitimately funny and found stand up so he is well into his post NBA career. I’m rooting for him

“Blake Griffin looks like a black guy made by a printer running out of ink”😂😂😂

I really miss blake's old self Darn what a beast🔥

He really did give the Clippers a spark when they were a horrible team hope he can start playing well again

Blake Is nowhere near what he use to be but he his still a really good player and a solid shooter

Blake Griffin was the reason I became a basketball fan. It really made me happy that he tried to improve his game throughout the years. Ben Simmons should learn a thing or two from him.

I saw this coming. As someone who studied physical therapy in college and went through plenty myself as an athlete in high school and college, it was inevitable. You can’t keep jumping that high at his weight and not have you knees go sooner than later

He was the type of player that relied on his athleticism. Players like that tend to flame out when that athleticism fades. That and injuries have led to him being a shell of the player that he was!

Crazy how he changed his game from just relying on his athleticism to a good 3pt shooter

As a Nets fan, I speak on behalf of the community to say the We love Blake! He brings a whole new energy to the team since last year!

I remember the 2009 draft. All the pundits were saying it was a 1 man draft and I think the Clippers were fined for saying the day after the lottery that they would take Blake. Lo and behold that draft also gave us Curry, Harden, DeRozan, Jrue Holiday and other solid players like Rubio, Ellington, Demare Carrol, Pat Beverly, Darren Collision , Patty Mills and Danny Green.

*GREAT* video. Awesome subject, and wonderfully done. Thanks! 👊

Thank you for these videos.

I think the Nets did this man dirty. I go to a good amount of C’s games and I love this guy. I was pumped to hear he got traded to the Celtics, and he’s doing what he was put on the team to do and the fans love seeing him. Blake has gone on record saying that the Celtics locker room is his favorite he’s been on and he’s having a great time on a great team. I’m glad he’s in Boston now.

Imagine being in the 1% of people able to dunk and the 1% of that who can dunk like Blake, then being told you’re not doing enough.

He was probably the most fun player to watch in the league in his prime. His dunks were just otherworldly sure it was one dimensional but very entertaining nonetheless

Another banger of a video by nonstop sports

Did you seriously leave Tim Duncan off of your top 10 power forwards of all time list? That’s insane.

Wow now I feel old, I remember watching the draft live and actually being excited for the clippers

1:43 best line of the whole video

Can you do the rise and fall of Dwight Howard?

If blake wasn't injured, he would still be a 20ppg player on the pistons

Blake griffin was so much fun to watch for about half a decade

Great video

I may not have used the word "fall" to describe the final stretch of Blake's career, I would have replaced it with "the natural course of an athlete's body". We are so used to seeing Lebron's constancy ( or Cristiano Ronaldo) of being at the top despite his age, that we easily forget that we are talking about humans with different features and moreover life goals. Blake did his best, blood, sweat, and tears are on the parquet, and with all his injuries, he has had enough. We'll always be grateful to him for what he did for the game and the narrative, Lob City baby!

Most high flyers decline at some point. When the majority of your game is based on athleticism, u become more prone to injuries as your career progresses, and even if u don’t get injured often, other aspects of your game suffer because of your reliance on your athleticism, and you become more of a role player on the team if not a liability. A lot of high flyers have had to change their game to stay relevant in the league when that “check knees light” comes on

He was a highlight film 🎥 like Dominique Wilkins. Only difference. Nique had a nice 15 to 17 foot inside jumper. My opinion

going to a clippers game back in 2015 was fun to watch.

I got to watch him on the pistons live and I really enjoyed watching him ball. Great basketball player. Great Career.

He’s what Ben Simmons should try to be. Griffin developed a great jump shot. Simmons needs to work like griffin and develop that shot

He’s actually a very solid player for the Celtics right now and has been a starter a few times including last night putting up draymond numbers 9/5/1 ….

I loved watching him dunk. Crazy two feet jump.

You just earned a subscriber

He never quite reached being an all around complete star but still has had a really solid career.

a "rise and fall" that spans over 12 years is called a career lmfao what is this title

I actually really like Blake, he’s humble enough to know his role nowadays, and he gives 110% every time he plays in BK. Hope Nash plays him more often, so fun to see “hard hat, steel tips” blue-collar mentality from Blake.

Love this series been watching all these and wasn’t subscribed my bad

I think he had a good work ethic. The guy really worked hard to improve his game, something not every player is willing to do (say Ben Simmons). I feel bad for him, injuries suck.

Blake is my favorite player this generation. So fun to watch him rise up. But those injuries, man. Really held back his potential. If he was just healthy, it could just have been that small push they needed to get out the 2nd round. Lob city was fire to watch. Not just Blake and DJ dunks. But the entire team was fun to watch. You could see the plays coming yet the were, usually, pretty successful at them.

Appreciate the video. Don’t appreciate the Two 15sec commercials on route to video

The thing is when we thought he was just all about muscle he proved to us that he's willing to learn and get smarter, and never drop the training side at the same time, just amazing career, definitely a great player which not always under the spotlight. Not tomention, he's humble as well😄

I don't see Blake as "fallen". He had lots of success, and might have some left in the tank. Also, he'll have a life after the NBA.

Blake is one of my all time favorite Sooner athletes and it just goes to show that no matter how good you are it's still REALLY difficult to win a championship in college or the NBA. The Clippers with him and Chris Paul probably should have won at least one but they lacked a few key role players plus they were going up against the Spurs and OKC with KD. He's had an incredible career and exceeded all expectations plus he's never gotten into any trouble that I know of other than punching that equipment manager.

It's called injuries and avoiding injuries in Detroit. He actually scored a career high and Detroit. The injury made him more of an efficient shooter. His jump shot is great .

Could you imagine if Giannis developed his game like Blake did,the possibilities are endless.I did enjoy Blake's tour with the CLIPPERS,only seen a handful of his games with the PISTONS. Enjoyed LOB CITY too.

2:12 the ref literally said "yes".

Seems to be playing pretty well right now 🤷‍♂️

met him irl down to earth dude chill AF

Good doc

Say what you will about Blake, I am glad that he managed to take the Pistons to the playoffs.

Blake peaked early it seems in a way. His first season was his best statistically going by points and rebounds. As his game got more polished, he declined in a few ways, especially a little bit with rebounding. He improved his free-throws and jump-shots tremendously. He passed better and learned to post up effectively. He became more injury prone. Being athletic and a little heavy, such as Blake, wears down the lower part of the body, specifically the knees. I think that at this point he is better off playing 15-25 minutes and trying to get in a little more decent basketball shape. I think that he was a quality draft pick. He reminded me of Shawn Kemp in some ways.

Love nonstop sports your amazing stay awesome

Why isn't Tim Duncan in your photo montage of the best power forwards at the end?

One of the most powerful dunks the nba has ever had.

Griffin was one of those players who i could never see leaving their prime but i was wrong. Had an amazing career though.

Love your vids

The man is like cursed with that injury situation man, I feel so sorry for him 😔

He could of been a lottery pick, but he was humbled to go back another year to continue developing as a player, oh and that pesky knee injury. lol these video are hilariously over the top.

if he wouldve worked on his landing he wouldnt have got all those injuries

*Please upload more basketball content!*

Blake won the dunk contest on my birthday. I’ll never forget watching that

The only reason I do not like these kinda videos is this is what father-time does to all athletes. We tend to get spoiled by Lebron because he basically is doing what he did as a 21 year old. That is almost unheard of. Griffin is a hall of famer and he declined at the rate nearly every great NBA player declines at.

One reason I’m glad I never got into basketball as what I want to do, is sports are the only medium where you have to stop because you’re too old at THIRTY. What rapper stopped at 30 Bc of their age? And yes I know that isn’t physically demanding that’s my point. The injuries and shit are insane yet these loser fans still spend all day booing and jeering and saying personal attacks they would never say to his face without a whole crowd between them. None of these fans would like it or think it’s fair if we judged them based on their personal experiences

You should do a series of 5 best players of each team all time

Mostly injuries did it man. But he’s still one of my favorites. Hope he gets a ring before he’s done.

Loved watching Blake on the clippers it’s sad that injuries completely slowed him down to a role player now

Blake actually is playing well this year, he started slow but his #'s are trending back to last years. He's actually been hitting 40% from 3 over the past couple weeks.... and he dunks. Is he an allstar or superstar? No. But his defense is very strong and plays up to analytics.

Referee Celebration at 2:12 was hilarious

Him, Stoudermire, Vin Carter....great to watch in their prime.

Blake was my favorite player literally 😂 bro just lost confidence in Detroit

He was solid as a Piston but it’s a shame that the relationship soured

Griffin's career doesn't warrent the phrase "rise and fall". He's been great, then he got some injuries, now he smoothly transit into a veterian role player who still can take a sizable role on a contender.

When I was a kid Blake got me watching basketball with his high energy dunks and explosiveness when he was a clipper that version of Blake was my favorite of all time and still is but father time is always a weakness and it's understandable.

I see no Giannis in the top ten power forwards of all time 🧐🧐

Dang, sometimes even doing everything right to improve and reinvent your game just doesn't lead to the success it feels like it should.Circumstance and luck play just as big a part in basketball success as it does in every other part of life

That one season in Detroit was a joy to watch!

2:11 bruh even the ref was like "YES!"

He’s literally a hall of famer 2010-11 All Rookie 2010-11 ROY 5x All NBA 6x All star

He made a baby with Lana Rhodes and his life went down hill from there haha

One of my all time flexes is having the same bday as Blake. He so underrated.

Lob city was one of my favorites too watch. Man I miss those days

Kardashian Victim 😢

I remember when people thought Aaron Gordon was gonna be the next Blake Griffin

I agree with the conclusion about Blake, he developed his game and is a solid all around player

Reminds me a bit of Grant Hill

Great player and yet his career was oddly predictable. You had to know when he won that dunk contest and was jumping out of the building left and right with ridiculous throw downs on a nightly basis in 2011-2012 that this dude is gonna majorly injure his legs or back and have decreased hops and mobility and then unfortunately fade because the rest of his skills wouldn’t be enough to compensate. Make no mistake, he made a legit valiant effort to become a better shooter and playmaker - and he did improve in those respects a lot - but when you’re a big guy chances are that jumping out of the building with freakish ability like that is going to catch up you, and did. I was staring at this guy on tv in 2012 like “he’s gonna be grounded by 30 with injuries.” He reminded me of Larry Johnson as far as his transition to being a more ground based player after injuries too. Either way, I respect the impact he made on the game and his hard work to improve. Lob city is still missed.

His competitive advantage was athleticism, once that faded, he didn't stand out as a player.

I really don't follow basketball that much. But he is one of my favorite players

Bro is a HOF candidate. His career was dope.

Blake’s dominant years with the Clippers is what I envisioned Zion would be like if he were healthy.

He has all the talent in the world minus durability. Could have been an all time great PF if he were injury free.

Idk why but this almost makes me cry

Thx
