The former Lob City star currently steering the Motor City Detroit Pistons to their first playoff appearance in 3 seasons has found new NBA life following his trade from the Clippers. Playing alongside fellow All Star Andre Drummond, the 6'10" power forward is putting up some of the best stats of his career while displaying his entire offensive repertoire - a far cry from the pit bull style he played as a rookie.

Griffin continues to score off the court as well, netting $32 million in NBA wages this season and adding $6.5 million to that figure via endorsements with Panini, Red Bull and Nike. His contract with the league is worth $171 million over 5 years, so he's well set for life after basketball.
