Crushable 25: Blake Griffin Is Your Favorite Athlete

Amanda Ernst — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:25:32 +0000

Looks like a lot of Crushable readers were watching this year’s slam dunk contest during the NBA’s All Star weekend. Because when we asked you to pick your favorite athletic crush to make it onto our 25 Crushable Guys Under 25 list, slam dunk contest winner Blake Griffin took the competition by a landslide. (For those of you who missed it, Blake leapt over a car to win the night.)

This 22-year-old, 6′ 10″ Los Angeles Clippers power forward is considered a rookie this season, even though he was drafted in 2009, because he missed his first season after he injured his kneecap landing after a dunk. Looks like he recovered well, and lived to dunk again. And Blake continues to make up for lost time — he’s been named Rookie of the Month in November, December and January and has been setting franchise and league scoring records. Not to mention his big win in the fan-favorite slam dunk contest.

He has his whole career ahead of him — if he can avoid more dunk-induced injuries.

We’re not really sure what basketball is, but if the sport is anything like this video then we’re buying season tickets. Here, the Dallas Mavs perform “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” to the best of their ability — and the outcome made us laugh out loud while running with our laptop to go show our dad. Didn’t anybody bother to print out the lyrics?

Khloe Kardashian Versus Mrs. Kobe Bryant – Because the NBA finals last week weren’t dramatic enough on the court, Lakers’ shooting guard Kobe Bryant‘s wife Vanessa apparently hates the whole friggin’ Kardashian family so much that she’s trying to ice them out of the team’s family functions. And that includes Khloe’s husband, fellow Laker Lamar Odom. (via InTouch Weekly)
