White monster Blake Griffin's illustrious career in the NBA has officially come to an end, and the former Los Angeles Clippers superstar has posted his retirement announcement via Instagram, capping off his long career in the NBA.
Griffin, who averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his career, began his career with the Clippers before being traded to the Detroit Pistons and played for the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.
Blake Griffin missed the entire 2009 season with an injury when he entered the NBA, but made a strong comeback in 2010 and won the Rookie of the Year award for it. He is known for his powerful dunking ability, and he can pull off stunning dunks in almost every game.
As his career progressed, his mid-range shooting became quite solid as well.
However, he is largely remembered for his work with Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers during his time with the "City of the Air."
In addition, Blake Griffin also ended his career with six All-Star selections and five All-NBA team selections.
His stellar performance in the dunk contest has also brought countless moments to NBA fans, and he is a human highlight reel and arguably one of the best game dunks of all time.
As soon as the retirement announcement came out, fans congratulated Blake Griffin. His career has been full of passion and fun, and it's sad to see him off the pitch, but also looking forward to a new chapter in his future.
So, what's next for Blake Griffin?
While Griffin hasn't made it clear what he plans for the future, he hinted that he'll enjoy spending time away from basketball. But it will be interesting to see if the former superstar will have a new and successful career.
Blake Griffin is known for his humor, his commercials are always hilarious, and he is always light-hearted and humorous in interviews. He may start his own podcast and quickly win the hearts of his listeners.
Based on his personality, Griffin could also make a great analyst.
Another option is to move to coaching roles.
However, according to his retirement statement, Blake Griffin doesn't seem to want to deal with basketball anymore.
But who can say for sure?
Maybe there's an opportunity in the NBA that will see Griffin coach or management, and possibly the Los Angeles Clippers as head coach.
On the other hand, we may also see Griffin simply enjoying a break and starting a new business in other areas. We often see former professional athletes start new businesses and succeed.
Whatever the future holds, Blake Griffin will always be remembered as one of the most exciting players in the league. For now, it's likely that he's just enjoying some time to rest. Considering he's only 35 years old, there's plenty of time for him to start his second career.
One thing to say, Griffin is the champion of 200 years, and now he has retired, and time is really flying.
Then the draft players of the same year are still playing Harden, Curry, DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, James Johnson, Gibson, and there are really few active players.
While Curry and Harden look very good at the moment, Stephen Curry and James Harden are also expected to retire in a few years.
Therefore, fans should be more tolerant of these veterans and less suspicious, after all, watch one less game, and watch and cherish it.
