We interrupt this football season …

Apparently, this Blake Griffin guy is pretty good.

The Los Angeles Clipper rookie is making some serious noise this preseason. Last week, he scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in only 29 minutes against San Antonio. That prompted Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to say: “He’s a monster. He deserved to be picked where he was picked, that’s for sure.”

By the way, Popovich meant that he was a monster in a complementary way.

Check out what Griffin said about the coach’s quote.

You’ll also want to check out this dunk that happened Sunday night when the Clippers faced the in-town rival Lakers. Big Blake had his first big-time posterization since turning pro.

It has prompted his teammates to give him a new nickname: Amazin’.

I suspect DJ Mbenga would agree.
