Blake Griffin remembers the awkwardness surrounding his trade from the Clippers

In the list of greatest Clippers of all time, Blake Griffin’s name can’t be far from the top. This decade of Clippers basketball owes a considerable amount of success to Griffin: he threw down high-flying dunks on the court for the Clippers; he helped reinvent the identity of the Clippers off the court; he even gave us the most recent iteration of our logo.

There’s an argument to be made even after he was playing for the opposing team, the Clippers owed something to Griffin. The trade that send him away laid the foundation each team we have had since, including the current “213” iteration of the Clips.
