3 Reasons Miami Heat Should Stay Away From Blake Griffin: Sapped Athleticism
The guy in question here used to be a dunking machine. When you thought about poster slams, highlight reel dunks, or top 10 countdowns, this was the guy you thought of.
That is the case no more.
No Explosion Or Athleticism
They guy is a shell of himself.
We hear this a lot and often, it’s a relative thing. It’s one of those semi-figurative things that may not be as dramatic as the saying makes it seem, but where something or someone isn’t as good or productive as they used to be.
For Blake Griffin, it’s 100 percent accurate. Take this as evidence.
I don’t think that the man has dunked the ball once all season. That’s right, in 20 games played for him thus far this season, he hasn’t dunked the ball once.
Think about that? Blake Griffin, the guy synonymous with the word slam dunk for so long, hasn’t even done that very thing once this season?
That’s mind-blowing. That’s also the second reason why the Miami Heat shouldn’t look his way.
He doesn’t shoot the three well, as mentioned, and he doesn’t have any explosion left, it seems. What can he do for you then?
That’s the real question here. Let’s be honest.
If he could help the Heat in their chase for a title, there would never be talk of Detroit trying to ship him out of there. That’s just the cold hard truth.
Let’s move on to the third and final reason.
