The 2011 NBA T-Mobile Rookie of the Year, Blake Griffin has taken the NBA by storm and has broken records every step of the way. Known for his high-flying dunks and extraordinary athleticism, Griffin competed on the 2011 NBA All-Star Team, the first rookie All-Star voted to the game by coaches since Tim Duncan in 1998. He also took first prize in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and participated in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam. A highlight reel sensation equipped with the size, strength, quickness and skill to keep his household name buzzworthy for many years to come, Griffin, selected first overall by the Los Angeles Clippers, has transformed the team into a must-watch franchise. As marketable in Corporate America as he is among the fans, he represents a number of prominent brands, including Nike, Subway, Powerbar, Kia, Vizio, Rage and several others. A native of Oklahoma City, Okla., the 6'10" power forward attended the University of Oklahoma, where he was one of the highest rated and most decorated recruits in Sooners history. A media magnet, Griffin already has earned numerous accolades, including the Oscar Robertson Trophy, Adolph Rupp Trophy, John Wooden Award, Naismith Award, Sports Illustrated Player of the Year, multiple NBA Western Conference T-Mobile Rookie of the Month honors and many more.
