what are his accomplishments exactly?
I listed them earlier.

NBA rookie of the year.

SI called him one of the 15 greatest rookies of all time.

3 years in the league, 3 time all star.

All-NBA 2nd Team last year.


Hey, we'll agree to disagree.

I'll agree with Magic Johnson and you Hornets fans can agree with...each other.

Being voted into awards for being on sportscenter highlights is not an accomplishment.

I'm not a hornets fan.

But come on...you really think he belongs in a conversation with Kobe, Lebron and KD?

He's not even the best player on his team.

Sports writers and fans voted on all that shite.

and Sports writers and fans are dumb.....fricking Yao Ming was being voted the starter in the All Star game when he hadnt played at all.

His "accomplishments" are not very impressive.

This in itself takes him out of the conversation with Kobe, Lebron and KD.

He said "unique." Griffin's on-court acting talent is pretty unique for a big man IMHO

L.A. must really feel Griffin is a top 5 player and that Magic is not way off base here.

Most are just saying Griffin doesnt belong in that discussion.


I however feel Griffin is maybe the most over rated player in the league.


He doesnt play shite for defense which really bugs me about a guy that athletic.

Yeah I don't know if many big men could have rolled on the floor after getting taken down by J-Smoove as long as he did

Griffin is good for highlight reels and that's where it ends.

He's not gonna be the guy with the ball in his hands with :10 to go down 2 in game 7.

It's not all that uncommon for a PF/C though. It's just surprising to see a guy who averaged 20 10 3 his first rwo years, and 188 this year to be considered garbage. Making the 2nd team all nba last year is nothing to laugh at either

Everyone knows the word "unique" was used.


Everyone knows Blake doesnt need to be bunched in with LBJ, Durant, and Kobe though.

Even if you are just listing "unique athletes" it makes no sense as Durant is not a top 5 athlete by any means


The list sucks.
