NBA is coming back for Christmas!

To honor the occasion of the NBA Lockout ending, the regular season is planned to start in an epic triple header showcasing stars like Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and more.

 Even with all those great stars, Sports Illustrated chose Blake Griffin to grace the cover of the NBA Preview issue because he will be one of the biggest stories in the league again this year.  Look out for a MONSTER sophomore year from Blake and get ready for the Clippers to be a playoff contender.

Blake interns for Funny or Die

There have been a lot of athletes to cross over into the real of film and comedy, but few have put in their due diligence.  Since Blake Griffin had a lot more time on his hands during the NBA lockout, he turned to his backup career of comedy by interning for Will Ferrell at Funny or Die.  Check it out.
