The Blake Griffin has no skill is just amazing dumb. The guy is a great ball handler, passer, rebounder, low post back to the basket game with some of the best foot work counters and face up quick first step moves in the game. A perimeter shot is steady and continuing to improve.

Thank you for the welcome. I love bashing Laker fans. It's so easy. Do Laker fans troll here during the season?

coming back from LA via burbank airport, the TSA agent at the line was talking smack to me about the clippers, and i came to realize that many lakerfans cheer for their team because they have a need to fill the void left by their own lack of success, thus trying the hardest to feel successful by being a fan of a professional sports franchise that had a great deal of success. clippers fans on the other hand, many are like myself who have endured our dismal past and now enjoy the fruit that has ripened. since the revelation, nothing they say bothers me anymore.

Pretty much. Sports is an outlet where an average joe can live vicariously through the skill, talent and strength of others. At the end of the day, we are all fans of grown men playing a child's game. We don't have any kind of true influence on the outcome of what does or doesn't happen. So some of the BS that some fans say is just a bunch of hot air. Enjoy it for what it is, but don't make it something it's not.
