Blake Griffin's jumpshot

[BGriffin's Dad]

http://i.imgur.com/ljW4Z.jpg

when BG starts hitting his jumpshots more reliably, do you guys realize how unstoppable he's going to be?...

right now defenders only really have to worry about defending against Blake's drive and post spins, and so they leave a lot of space when defending him on the perimeter... but once he develops a reliable jumper... look out league.. 22/12/3 is just the start

[HylianNightmare]

god that baby blue jersey is horrible

BG?

He should hire Timmy to teach him the bankshot

[BGriffin's Dad]

i like it :confusedshrug:

looks good with white sleeves and red shoes

[Trentknicks]

If he can attain the level of dominance that peak Amare Stoudemire had in 2007 and earlier he is doing well. Dropped like 35ppg on Duncan in the 05 or 07 playoffs.

[G-train]

that leg raised up looks weird :biggums:

and more importantly it makes it hard to be balanced and shoot the ball consistently.

[Dwade305]

A one footed step-back jumper?:facepalm So many centers and forwards nowadays tryingt of pull off these guard moves, how sickening to watch(Dirk you are forgiven cause you are the DON). Griffin should master the set jumpshot first than any of that other stuff I have seen him trying to do from midrange.

[Kews1]

yea thats what i was alluding to, weird that his form is that bad surely they have tried to correct it.

Which is why Blake will never be able to shoot consistently like OP's pipe dream

[RRR3]

Forget shoot consistently, Flake just can't shoot period:lol


BTW those yellow and green Grizzly jerseys are horrible as well

[CavaliersFTW]

Blake should retire before his knees explode again. Cause once he loses his athleticism omg... :oldlol:

[Dwade305]

There is no excuse for that shot in the paint really:oldlol: A normal hook shot mastered from that area, he would be really unstoppable. All these finnese/ power players have some real identity crisis shit, kinda like phgg0ts that workout to be buff.

Joel Anthony without the defense:lol

b-b-but Blake can "learn" defense once his arms grow another foot :lol

Wasn't Griffin knocking down more jumpshots in his rookie year than last year?

Of course, the guy has gotten progressively worse as he's become totally dependent on flopping for ref calls. :facepalm

Cpflop is to blame here. That's why he can never be considered an all time great. Some players make their teammates better but flop somehow manages to make his teammates worse by rubbing off all his bad habits onto them.

Flopping is also to blame for his declining free throw percentage from last season too right?

Poor/aloof NBA work ethic. Flake spent all his time last season shooting commercials and selling KIAs rather than practice even the most basic things like free throws. And clipper fans actually expect him to expand his game :oldlol: he can't hardly maintain what he already has.

[Al Thornton]

holy fck sometimes i can't even believe how bad this forum gets.

[KG215]

OP really is Bake Griffin's dad isn't he? That's the only logical explanation for the level of obsession he has for him.

[Heavincent]

Besides his ridiculous athleticism, there's really nothing that impresses me about Blake Griffin, although his handles are pretty good for a big. His post moves are awkward and clumsy for the most part, his defense sucks, and his jump shot is pretty bad. He's a good player, but it's mostly because of his athleticism. He needs to expand on his game if he wants to become an elite player. But he's only going into his 3rd season, so I think people are being a little harsh on him.

[plowking]

I'd rather have my big man play inside like a big man and keep getting his typical 20+ points on efficient numbers.

[CavaliersFTW]

Thread title is misleading. OP should have named the thread "Blake Griffin's broken jumpshot"

[Haymaker]

Blake has slow feet. He should develop his post game first, which is amateurish at best.

He's only a second year player, man. In 5 years from now he will be the league's best player.

[KG215]

Right. So someone like Durant is just going to stop getting better? LeBron is going to fall off that much in five years? Dwight Howard? Chris Paul?

Not saying it's not possible, but I'd say Griffin being the best player in the NBA in five years is unlikely.

This Youtube comment from the vid couldn't have summed up Blake Griffin any better:
All I can say is get a 6'8" 300lb bouncer from the club to guard Blake Griffin and he wouldn't score a point the whole game. The guy can't do anything but dunk. Most overrated player in the game. And for the love of God a mouth piece is for protection. Not to chew on like a ****en chew toy the whole game. But he does kinda look like a dog so maybe I should let it slide.

[jstern]

That jumper looks a little gay.

Was the OP thinking that it was stylish and awesome looking, considering that he posted so many pictures of it, and telling us to beware, talking it up.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Blake Griffin sucks

[senelcoolidge]

Griffin will get there. He's working on his jump shot, even has a shooting coach. It won't happen over night, but he should have that consistent jumper in time. Once he feels comfortable he will gain confidence and it's a go. A consistent 15 footer would be great. No need for shooting 3's when you are a PF.

[MetsPackers]

I feel like I could see this guy in a Knicks uniform for a max deal a few years down the road, and im not liking that idea

However, Blake's statline of 20.7/10.9/3.2/.8/.7 is matched by only like 3 guys all time they were named like kareem or hakeem or some shyt like that. But anyway, you gota be kinda impressed with that

Durant is the most overrated player since Iverson. He's a borderline top 10 player right now. He's the least impressive star right now in the league.

Griffin will easily surpass Howard and Paul (who is just about as overrated as Durant), and should pass lebron because he is a harder worker and a smarter player.

Griffin will eventually develop a pick and pop game and improve on defense.

Griffin has a great looking shot for a back to the basket big and has.improved his mechanics this summer. The shot OP.is showing here is just his fallaway jumper that he rarely does. He's actually good at hitting it.

Griffin shot 27.7% from 10-15 feet. 15.4% were assisted - this shows that Griffin can't create his own shot efficiently.

[ralph_i_el]

Blake Griffin can only dunk, but since when was that bad? He has the skills to create those dunks with quick spins and good strength and handles. He's quicker than most PF's and has the skills to take his man off the dribble. Also he's a very good passer.

couple that with the energy he shows rebounding. The guy's a star quit hating

I said good at hitting his fadeaway, not a good shooter in general. Besides read this and learn something. He shoots the midrange jumper at the same percentage as CARMELO ANTHONY and a bunch of other perimeter players people think have a good shot. Leave it to you to exaggerate and flame a player though. For a young, 2nd year big he's actually got a solid jumper and it will only improve.

Good for Griffin - you want an explosive leaper shooting jumpers at 36% from 16-23 feet, then good for you.

The fact of the matter is that he shoots 27% from 10 to 15 feet, and that's the furtherest away you want your power forward, unless his name is Nowitzki or Love. Before you comment on Love, we know he is far and away a better long range shooter, Griffin is a horrid 3 point shooter, and Love is a prolific 3 point marksman.

I love how you state, "it will only improve." How do you know? The guy is one of the stupider players in the league, and has a very low basketball IQ.

Greg Popovich: "Blake Griffin's IQ reminds me of young Duncan"

Raz: "Blake Griffin has a very low IQ"

:biggums:

First off he's got a very good basketball IQ. I've said it before and I'll say it again... you can't be a low IQ player if you're a great passer. Literally impossible in the game of basketball. Secondly you can be dumb as a bag of rocks and still improve in basketball obviously, so basketball IQ isn't relevant to that.

Nope, clippsfan pulling stuff out of his ass. Griffin hasn't even reached peak McDyess yet. Guy is the most heavily overrated player on this board. Without Paul on the Clippers, they would have been looking at lottery picks.

He's still better than Kevin Love's overrated ass

I can picture him feverishly typing into Google trying to find a quote right now. He's going to have to look for awhile - I'm happy he'll be spending his holiday looking for something so trivial.

NBA coaches laud players with fake praise all time. Pop was probably doing it to demean Timmy, hoping to inspire him. Pop and Phil are both the media mindgame masters!

It will last until his knees explode. Based on how dangerous his flops are to himself and others in the immediate vicinity I'm guessing that will be sometime next season. Dude will begin a flop and then his knees will buckle and he will be sobbing for real but the players won't believe him at first cause he cries wolf so much so they'll keep playing :oldlol: it might become a classic moment of NBA history - Blake being dragged off the floor in tears

[Clippersfan86]

Actually the Pop quote was a pre game interview question in Blake's rookie year in his 2nd or 3rd game vs the Spurs as a pro. I have no reason to fabricate it just to impress some internet trolls. Anybody who's watched play would agree he's got a good basketball IQ, I was simply saying that the brilliant Pop said it as well.

During a Phil Jackson pre-game interview Blake's 1st season Phil said "(Blake) Griffin is as dumb as a pile of rocks"

[SmackOrH.A.K]

his shot looks very inconsistent. looks different in every pic. besides that thing he does with his legs.

[senelcoolidge]

It's so obvious that so many people here don't watch the Clippers play and are very biased. Let those girls hate. Griffin is a hard worker and his game will continue to improve. Even if the guy wins a championship and is a future hall of famer..people will continue to hate him for whatever reason. The guy is a good player. Sure he's young and has a ways to go, but for a 2nd year player he's really good and ahead of so many others. If you watch the Clippers you know that he's not a low I.Q. player. Just like another young player he has a bone head play once in awhile. You know he's very unselfish/team player. You know that he's a guy with a high motor. So let things be. In some people's mind they can't accept change. Clippers are good..no that can't be allowed.

[Tking714]

Wtf is wrong with his leg? Shooting coaches need to get him in line asap. Please don't tell me that he's managed to convince them that that's seriously his form.

[TheCalmInsanity]

I love the cliche "without his athleticism he'd be nothing" line...

Without his size, Shaq would be nothing. Stfu noobs

He's freaking 23 years old. Played in the league 2 years. Do you not remember young T-Mac? Couldn't shoot. Dedicated one summer and he became the scoring champion dropping 3's all over the place. You guys have to relax

Can't play defense cause of his short arms? There are plenty of people without long arms that play great defense. It's about instincts and timing, things you have when you come in the league, and things you learn as you're in the league as well.

Not only that, but the fact that his biggest flaw is the fact that he plays passive defense just to stay out of foul trouble. That's what he was taught in college and has not been corrected yet while he's been in the NBA.

Griffin has great handles, great court vision, and a very good touch around the basket. He has post moves but doesn't think to use them too often, another thing that will come with time and experience. Post moves can be taught. Jump shots can be taught. Free throws can be taught.

Jose Calderon was one of the worst free throw shooters in the L, dedicated one summer and almost had the league record in free throw percentage. The key is dedication and hard work.. something that you guys discount and ignore way too often. You're just hating to hate... And it's blatantly obvious. It's just funny how you hate on someone who has played for 2 years and has his whole career ahead of him to improve. Not to mention he's already a player that commands double teams and makes teams change their game plans.

Also, the fact that you are calling someone getting injured a "classic moment of NBA history" shows me how much of an immature idiot you are. I'd NEVER wish pain on anybody.

Trex also looks like a flying whale every time he jumps and dunks....0 finesse.

Griffin will be the league's best player in 5 years.

Karl Malone was a bad ft shooter in his first few seasons

It's laughable now, but so was the fact that Bulls fans thought Rose could be an MVP...:confusedshrug:

Agreed. I hate watching the Clippers play in those jerseys.

Honestly, I think his fame got to his head this last year, but then again sophomore slumps are common.

He needs to go back to his hard working attitude and he'll be fine.
He didn't get worse he scored less because he took less shots he averaged less assists because he played with more ball dominant players and he averaged less rebounds because of better rebounders being on the team. Blake was more efficient he had a better jumpshot and improved his defense.

^Very true. If you watched Clipper games you would know this. In his first season Griffin was the only option practically since Eric Gordon spent a chuck of the season injured. Griffin carried the team that first season. In his second season he had a better team around him. More ball dominate teammates, teammates that could score much more and he got less touches. His jump shot was much improved over his rookie year, but still needs lots to be desired. His defense has improved. He just needs to put more effort on that end. His rebounding numbers took a small dip due to having better rebounders around him and also because he was taking more mid range shots.

The only area Blake got worse in was free throw shooting and its the only thing holding him back from being a true superstar. His mid range shooting, defense, and post game needs some improvement but they'll be able to improve through experience.
