Blake Griffin On The Misleading Narrative That He Didn't Want To Dunk In Detroit | JJ Redick

Blake Griffin discusses his buyout with The Detroit Pistons and choosing to go to The Brooklyn Nets. He also talks about people who counted the 'days' he didn't dunk instead of the games.

This is just a peek at the amazing episode dropping first thing in the morning! Subscribe to The Old Man and The Three w/ JJ Redick and Tommy Alter on YouTube, Apple and Spotify.

Coming from a guy who just got drafted by the pistons on 2k22 Blake I understand your frustrations

As others have said, the placement of the mics are not ideal in relation to the camera setup. That mic set up could work, but you have to add individual camera setups at an angle for JJ, Tommy and the guest.

Do I believe that Griffin gave his all the last year and a half with the Pistons? Nope. Should he be giving his all for a franchise going nowhere with no future with him and his contract? Nope. The Pistons are finally looking like they have a future and that may be part of Griffin's legacy. He got out of the way when he needed to. He's a good guy, I like him and hope for a championship in his future.

Speaking as a Pistons fan forever, I loved Blake on the team, he was always a good dude about being traded from LA to Detroit, and him embracing the "tank" is basically what got us Cade so, yeah... respect to Blake.

2019 Blake gave it his all. After that he had no reason to go full blast. He was hurt and even if he was lob City Blake they wouldn't contend in the East. Pistons fans should not really hold a grudge. He had the decency to not pull a Kevin Love on them and save them some money

i’m so used to everyone calling him his full name (Derrick Rose) so it took me like 2 minutes to process who he was talking about when he just said “Derrick”

[RealestatePape]

Blake u did good the first year u got us to the playoffs these fan trippin blaming u bruh

[shebaarancon]

Will listen to the whole podcast soon on Spotify so I won’t be distracted with the set up 😂

Blake Griffin is the reason I became a Clippers fan. Still am to this day & probably always will be. Thank you BG!

[GrimeBot-ioho]

Man, people have already forgotten what a force of nature prime/healthy Blake Griffen was. He was one of the few that made me hold breath when he left his feet.

[bigsony]

As a Detroit piston I actually respect Blake. They didn’t give Blake any talent. He one of his best years in Detroit. I can’t blame him for wanting out.

Just found your channel thanks for the great interview with blake, my mom just passed and your channel is a great get a way, thanks and still have your Magic jersey!!!

I can almost guarantee that you can find another mic for everyone

[antmen]

Y'all gotta figure out a way to get that third mic outta the guests face. It throws you off. Great stuff as always ✌🏾️

[starz]

i think desk mics would be ideal for a roundtable like this

[justinhopkins]

Can we get close-ups on ALL the speakers without mics blocking the view por favor?

Blake Griffin is one of the most misunderstood players in the league. He's a great guy who's always been a team player. It's not his fault Detroit went into the dumps. He was all NBA in 2018. That team just wasn't built to win

[AlexandreG]

The way how Blake explains that misconception about his dunking stat is natural for a dude who works on his stand-up comedy, but there's not much NBA players that take digs at the media like that, they usually post offended stuff rather than make a joke on the media, great mindset for him to have.
But to be fair, in the first 19 games of the season probably even Curry dunked, so it's still weird for Blake of all guys to not do it

[imaswedishplumber]

There was a stretch in his first year at Detroit where he was playing at an all nba level, super sad that injuries took his prime

[WaiizSK]

Great content as always... but this has to be at least top 5 worst set ups of all time.
