It's staggering just how much Blake has fallen off Athletically..

Son was getting destroyed at the rim. Same dude...same play and Blake couldn't do shyt about it except hang his head and pretend like the shyt didn't happen. It's sad because fam was one of the true super athletes in Nba history.

6yrs ago he was doing stuff like this....







I just wonder what kind of player he's gonna be going forward. He's got good playmaking skills and has improved his J but without that elite explosive blackleticism he's not allstar level anymore imo.

Yeah I noticed his athleticism fell off in these past two seasons. Blake Griffin will be 30 next year and is in his 8th season. He’s not exactly a young dude with bunnies anymore. At least he has a decent J to where he could move away from the grind in the post and be more of a stretch 4. Will definitely help with the floor spacing too.

Detroit lost on that contract, I’m not surprised with the amount of injuries Griffin has got on his rap sheet overnight his career.

Just watch his highlights from season to season. Its obvious by his 4th season (2013-14) he could not get his head half-way near the rim.

Here's a play from his 3rd season (2012-13). The NBA still had to manipulate camera angle to make it seem like he got his head at rim level.

That still should be his athletic prime though. Obviously his injuries did him in, but it’s just way more apparent since he was the biggest high flyer in the league. He woulda put Jarred Allen in a blender 5-6yrs ago. Now he’s getting his shyt pushed in...and that nikka was trying with all his might
