Report: Griffin's need for speed

Los Angeles Clippers starting power forward Blake Griffin wants to be quicker on the floor, so recently he worked with a top sprinter. From Melissa Rohlin of the Los Angeles Times:

    "As part of a series of videos called 'The Crossover' that Griffin shot with Red Bull, the five-time NBA All-Star has been training under top athletes in their respective sports to help him glean an extra advantage in his game. Before training with Carmelita Jeter, Griffin explained why he thought a track workout could benefit him. 'I've always believed that the first two steps you take to catch an opponent or beat someone down the court are the most important,' he said.
