Blake Griffin, Clippers agree on 5 year $95 million deal

[Derrick]

It's really ridiculous how much NBA players make.. $95 million.. He's set for the next 500 years of life, even taking into account inflation.

Yes, I'm jelly Give me 5 mill and I should be set.

Give me 500k and I can make a decent life...

[ShawnieMac06]

This guy puts asses in seats, and that alone is worth the money he's getting paid. He'll be the highest paid player in Clipper franchise history, at least until next year when Paul gets his extension.

Well how many Blake Griffin's do you know?

0. There is no other human being in the world that can do what he does specifically.

We are not paying someone at McDonald's 80k a year to flip burgers. Only a small amount of human beings can play in the NBA. And even a smaller amount can play like Blake Griffin. The pay is fair.

Blake Griffin is Dwight Howard with no defense at all.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Blake Griffin is Dwight Howard with no defense at all.

So I'll agree with you for this. Out of nearly 7 billion people in the world there are only two Blake Griffin's. His pay is justified then.

[LamarOdom]

Well, he is arguably the most talented player after LeBron and Westbrook, so we'll see where this goes.

Talent doesn't mean athleticism.

[Raz]

he is young.

He's playing for team USA which is normally good for younger players like himself.

They'll make it back in revenue, but once he hurts himself again, he'll be a rotation player at best. Easily one of the stupidest players to play the game, getting by on athleticism and natural talent, he hasn't improved since his final year in college.

[Haymaker]

Exciting player for sure, but not all time great material. His value is about pure revenue/marketability.

On one hand I wanna praise the Clippers for resigning Blake Griffin... on the other hand I wanna laugh at the Clippers for potentially overpaying the guy if he never improves.

[Ikill]

This dude is the most overrated player in the league bar none, all he can do is dunk and rebound decently. He has no jump shot to speak of, a LIABILITY at the free throw line, has terrible man to man defense and no help defense once oh ever. He averages less blocks than Dwayne Wade for christ sake. He got benched in the playoffs for kenyon martin. He has no post moves to speak of and when he attempts to even do one his footwork is terrible. He jumps off the wrong foot repeatably or does some weird ass twirl while he is falling down. 5 years/95 million for a flopping dunker, but its the Clippers who would expect anything less.

why dont you try to prove all those things you said are right

[DuMa]

at least he isnt amare, YET

[Ikill]

think Amare with rebounding passing good handles a post game and solid defense how is that not a top 5 player in the game

he's 23 in 3rd year your telling me hes not going to improve
