All-Star Weekend 2011 in Los Angeles

8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in 14:39 is pretty damn good for the rookie. He'll get more time in the next all-star game when he's voted in as a starter.

That's what I'm hoping.

And to no surprised Kobe got MVP, however I do think he deserved it.

As long as him not moving is not due to injuries, it's cool. The guy will get some good sleep in...He'll be fine.

Kobe Bryant said he got to know Griffin while they were rehabbing this summer. "It's his time now....to step forward and carry the league."

Jazz's Williams said his team calls Clippers' Griffin "Captain Planet." (Like the cartoon.)

Jazz's Williams said he enjoyed playing with Clippers' Griffin. Has never played with anyone like him before.

Just curious, where'd you get that quote?

Glad to see D Will giving Blake his props...Kinda a pipe dream at this point, but Deron Williams, Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin would be flat out nasty.

An instant connection with high-flying Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin highlighted Williams’ comfort. After Griffin received a long pass from Ginobili, he bounced the ball toward Williams. The Jazz point guard responded by immediately lobbing the ball skyward for Griffin, who responded with one of his trademark alley-oop slams. It was a similar look for Griffin — the supremely talented rookie captured the dunk contest title Saturday — but a slightly different one for Williams, who has often discussed his desire to push the tempo this season but sometimes has been forced to hold back.

Williams said Utah rookie forward Jeremy Evans is the only player he has teamed with who can jump like the fast-rising Clippers star. But Griffin — who Williams’ team has nicknamed “Captain Planet” — inhabits a whole other universe.

“I ain’t really played with anybody like that,” Williams said.

OK. I saw the same quote from somebody I follow and I was just wondering if you were someone I was following and didn't know it. I go by bigronjohnson on Twitter.

I hope we'll be referring back to these quotes next year, when DWill joins the Clips!

I read that they were hanging out on different occasions throughout the weekend. I could totally see us getting him if we don't make any big signings (aside from DJ & EJ) this summer. It would help if Baron would opt out of his last year, but he's not turning down $14.7M unless we promised to give him another deal that would average out to be better than what he'll get on the open market a la Richard Jefferson.
