Okay, so Blake Griffin announced his retirement from basketball this weekend after a 15-year career
0:06
and with that comes a simple question from me. Should Blake Griffin make the Hall of Fame? Let's
0:10
talk about it. This guy basically played eight or nine years in LA, where he was one of the most
0:15
electrifying dunkers of all time. He put people in body bags basically every night, but he was
0:20
constantly hurt. Those teams were constantly hurt, so he could never get over the hump in the playoffs
0:24
and those teams could never really contend. He made six all-star teams and five all-NBA teams, never making the first team
0:31
but he also could never get out of the second round of the playoffs, and he doesn't really have a lot of career longevity
0:38
He also won a dunk contest, but I swear to God this shit was rigged. He had a big career revival in Detroit, where I think he had his best season
0:45
when he became a spacer and a better passer, and his numbers just improved a lot. He's not going to make my personal Hall of Fame
0:51
he just doesn't have enough career longevity or a great enough peak. nor does he have enough success
0:56
But I think there's a very good chance he gets into the Basketball Hall of Fame because that's pretty easy to do
