A Great White Hope for the NBA??
Is his impact going to boost the popularity of the game, ala Larry Birdesque?

Been kinda out of the NBA fan loop now for a while, but the highlights of Griffin throwing down all kinds of violent dunks over anybody and everybody in the league, well, it's kind of exciting.
Too bad he plays on such a lame team.

The Google says he has a white parent and a black parent - by Presidential definition, he's black.

That's pretty standard, most people identify biracial kids as being black, they usually get the unmanageable hair.

Kevin Love is what you are describing, and he's having a better year than Griffin.

It's tough to say who is having a better year since both play for such pathetic teams, but both Love and Griffin are definitely studs. Getting to see Love play live when he was at UCLA was a treat, I'm glad to see he is doing well after a somewhat lackluster rookie season.

I disagree.
Kevin Love would be the great white hope.
However, Griffin is the better player and having a better year.
I would, however, take either on my team if given the option....which is a good thing since I'm a Clips fan
Yeah, go a head and insert the [youtube]

Griffin in no way is having a better year. The year Love is having could be historic. He could average 22/16 shooting 40% or better from 3. Love is more efficient than Griffin, and not a liability in the last couple of minutes. Hack-a-Griffin will be employed real soon.
