Self and Griffin Take Home Awards

Self and Griffin Take Home Awards

Blake Griffin: The Best Player in the NCAA?

Blake Griffin: The Best Player in the NCAA?

One of my younger brothers and I are having this argument now. Coincidentally, he believes Curry is the best player in college. Griffin has shed some pounds, added some beef and looks ready to wrestle with Hansbrough for Player of the Year awards. If Curry outshine Griffin last night, it's only because of his name and not his game. Griffin put up Beasley-like numbers (25 points, 21 boards) and went 11 ... Read More
