#2 Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers
The 2011 Slam Dunk Champion, Blake Griffin was earlier known only for posterizing elite big men like Pau Gasol and Timofey Mozgov. With age, Griffin evolved his game and added a mid-range jumper to his arsenal and thus became deadlier than ever. The 2015-16 season was shaping up to be his best one till date until he suffered a torn quad that put him on the shelf for months.
He then punched one of the assistant equipment managers that led to him breaking his hand and drawing a suspension from the team for the incident, thus somehow managing to convert one of the best seasons into a dreadful nightmare. But the clippers still managed to enter the playoffs, where Blake again got his quad injured during their clash with the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round.
The Clippers franchise has one of the most versatile players in Blake Griffin. Although Griffin is often found as a part of various trade rumours, it is safe to say that the Clippers won’t be willing to give him up anytime soon. As far as Blake is concerned, he is currently playing in his prime and it must be getting pretty frustrating for him to reach the playoffs every year just to be eliminated by other teams. Griffin must have a comeback and that too a strong one, this coming season.
