We’ve gotta do whatever it takes to get Blake Griffin into the NBA All-Star game!  Can  you imagine what he might do in that game which always deteriorates into a non-defensive game of one upsmanship? Set your DVR and get ready to make a million dollars off DVD sales.  He might dunk with his forehead or rip the rim entirely away from the backboard. Let’s get together a campaign to stuff the ballot boxes.  He’s gotta play.  Forget the slam dunk competition.  I’m already giving him the title if he chooses to take part in that thing.  Griffin needs to play in the game itself. All-Star games traditionally struggle to attract television viewing eyeballs.  Why wouldn’t they want to have the guy who holds down a nightly spot in ESPN’s top-plays.  Heck, they’re finding ways to work in Griffin dunks even on nights that his team is idle. First off, he’s deserving.  He’s averaging 21 points and 12 boards per game.  19 straight double-doubles.  Only Shaq and David Robinson have had better starts to their rookie season in the last 25 years. Throw in the fact that Los Angeles will be the site of the All-Star game and I think it’s even more of a must.  The Lakers are the official host, but the rookie who shares the Staples Center has played better than any of the defending champs so far this season.  Get online and vote for Blake.  The Clippers don’t have many fans (not counting billy Crystal and Penny Marshall).  He’s gonna need all the help he can get.
