Blake Griffin would welcome a jersey retirement from the LA Clippers
Former NBA star Blake Griffin recently announced his retirement from basketball. A six-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA team member, Griffin had a fantastic career after being selected first overall by the LA Clippers in 2009.
Griffin put the Clippers on the map with his quick rise to stardom, and deserves a lot of credit for helping them become a respectable NBA franchise. The first player to retire from the Lob City core of himself, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Jordan, Griffin should seemingly be in line to have his jersey retired at the Clippers’ new Intuit Dome that will open next season.
Asked about this possibility on an episode of FanDuel’s Run It Back show, Griffin said, “It’s obviously a huge honor. I wouldn’t turn that down... If it happens, that’s awesome. It’s a huge honor and I’d greatly appreciate it.”“It’s obviously a huge honor. I wouldn’t turn that down... If it happens, that’s awesome. It’s a huge honor and I’d greatly appreciate it.
Griffin also planned to spend his entire career with the Clippers, which was something the franchise had never experienced from a player of his caliber.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: [email protected] Education: Communication Studies degree from Biola University Location: Los Angeles, California Expertise: NBA analysis and reporting Experience: Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
