Griffin is not soft, he's tough as hell. You may see him overreact a bit after this play, but that's only after getting hit like a 100 times every season he's played. Not many players with that kind of composure. Add up all the times he kept a cool head after hard hits like this and you'll get a very different perception of him.
Si porque el tio es un cerdo y hace muchas faltas en sus mates
The last kid who wanted a high five was left hanging. lol
Yes! He finally fights back! This is what shaq talked about a few years back...and now he has it!
HOLD ME BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I love this Booker guy. Blue-collared worker
I know right. $1mil+ blue collar workers. So down with the regular folk
way to word for word say what the announcer did
So you mean teams like the Memphis Grizzlies have little talent, beacuse every player of that team are blue colar.
This is a hard foul. More of a playoff foul to me. The reason blake reacts the way he does, to me, is to make a statement to everyone who tries to bully him. He gets a lot of nasty cheap fouls on him. Blake trying to say he's not taking any of that this season. Whether or not It works remains to be seen. In all, blake over reacts but for reason.
Just 10 more days NBA fans, just 10 more days!
Shut up Westbrook, have a fun season with your right hand "butt buddy" having that foot fracture... OHHHH hahah jk.
Matt Cobalt Lol bet you they'll be the number 1 team in the West, talking all that shit. KD is barely hurt, this'll only save him for the playoffs and have Durant killing when he comes back.
that is a flagrant foul for sure. But after that foul, I think Trevor wanted to protect blake for a hard landing. watch 1:00
all I saw was Booker going for the ball and missed it when Griffin pumped with a change of arm direction, then Booker held Griffin to prevent him from falling. Griffin may be a good player, but he needs to get away from trouble.
What does Griffin expect? If he wants to go hard to the hole he should expect others to go hard on him. It wasn't even that nasty of a foul. Non career threatening foul. These 2000's kids don't know what good ol' fashion basketball defense looks like.
-Clippers Fan since San Diego days
well, he should expect those fouls since he likes to dunk as hard as he can everytime he attacks the rim, the other players do get annoyed and will foul him like that
Comon now, it's not even that hard of a foul
He could've easily messed up a knee on the landing. He didn't react until booker said something. Kinda weird.
lol, Blake try's to go after him after he has his team holding him back
1:12
haha...
(let me have a go at him, but make sure you guys are holding me back)

if he fouled lebron like that he would’ve been crying on the floor asking for a stretcher. i respect blake griffin for not flopping
"HOOOOLDDD ME BACCKK!" - jalen rose voice
I feel sorry for the third kid at 0:25. Was the only one who didnt get a high five lol
Thats just a hard foul... Booker looks like he even tried to help BG catch his balance.
I think it's a major flaw in basketball when in 50-50 situations the offensive player ALWAYS has the upper hand. He just needs to lift off and it's always the defenders obligation to make sure no one is harmed. Griffin knows this chicken game exists and is able to take an advantage of this, if he gets a look and a decent speed he will always try to elevate and what the hell are you supposed to do? One tough foul and hope that he is discouraged to try dunking again or just give him the dunk and he will continue to dunk? Sure, you could try to deny him every chance to do this but in 48-minute game how plausible is that..
Great point. I agree completely. And with the size, strength and explosiveness of guys like him and LeBron, as a defender if you don't get the block you have to use a lot of force to wrap them up and stop them. That's why in most cases, including this one, you see the defender slap at the ball first and then wrap the guy up. In real time it can look like a violent collision and unnecessary contact but I think most of the time its not a dirty play.
its an offensive game
***** Just let him dunk? You won't last very long in the league just letting guys dunk.
I hear ya, but it's a preseason game. If this were in November, I agree. It was a bit much for a game that means jack squat.
***** I know YOU don't play in the league, I was saying that if a player gets in the habit of not contesting shots his NBA career will be very short lived.
The kid who didn't get his high five haha
Griffin instigated. Booker was going for the ball.
Well idk if the ball is located somewhere near BGs neck or smth, but booker did an very damn unnecessary foul mate
"Booker was going for the ball." Ever played basketball or have any grasp of the rules? Do you know what a flagrant foul is? Educate yourself first, then talk/type.
Theodor Dinu Look where the ball is and look where Booker reached. Try looking before you talk/type. Ever played with men before? Whiny little girl just like Griffin
Theodor Dinu a flagrant foul? look at fouls 6-15 years ago
You have to be an idiot if you think he was going for the ball...
Blake Griffin didn't overreact. The dude hit him in the face! The face is a no-go zone, and even though it was accidental, Booker just wanted to fight him, lol.
Honestly... Griffin would've got his butt handed to him if they really fought though.
Booker did not mean to hit him in the face, he just stopped the dunk, if you look right after the foul booker was trying to help Blake griffin and said sorry, but Blake did over react to this
adgd62 Do you read? I said it was accidental.
I didn't read the comment above, nvm
Why is that even relevant? And...how could you possibly know that? I personally think Hedo Turkoglu could beat the dog piss out of all of em.
Kyle Williams blake griffin was going to knock out that nigga
That wasn't even a hard foul and it was all on the arm...
somebody gonna get himself on a poster next time. BG definitely gonna get you now lol.
For one Blake Griffin looked like Randy Orton and he was about to RKO him 0:57 lol!! For two even though awesome players like him and Kevin Durant whenever they get into bad moments like this...they never forget their fans. 0:24-0:27 respect Blake Griffin respect.
Donovan Mullen im sooo hipp ,
That's why he's bae to mee
both of em
Nerlande Bossous
lol okay
I'd like to a quarter of the people (1/4) insulting Blake Griffin to say that to his face.
How would griffin have reacted if he played in the 1990's against the bruising Knicks (with Oakley and Mason) or against the late 1980's Detroit Bad Boys (with Laimbeer, Mahorn and Rodman)? The hard fouls they would commit are on a completely different level than the one in this video. What is considered a flagrant foul today would have been simply called a foul back in the 80's & 90's.
Ouu, props to him for holding back. I literally though he was gonna swing. No one was really holding his arm back too. I could also see him restraining himself too. I never really cared about him, but props to him for holding back.
Man, Blake tried to get him in the Muay Thai clinch
Bitch griffin was like HOLD ME BACK HA-HAA
Leave Griffin alone!!! He's been through so much!!
someone needs to make a audio parody of this
I've seen Blake get flipped on his back in college, he's usually pretty mellow. Booker was on the Washington Wizards awhile back and anything touching the face should be a automatic flagrant 2!
Blake Griffin gets the most cheap shots put of everybody in the NBA ! If you listening to what his teammates say you would notice how much he sacrifices for the team by letting all of this shit go. Chris Paul said that they really need him and he's glad he didn't do anything, but at that same time he is so surprised be how much patience Blake has. This isn't just you having beef with somebody and then yall fight in the street. This is professional basketball ! This is his job ! He can't just punch somebody all willy nilly ! But he did say that he was not going to take any more shit from anybody ! And for those of yall that say he was going to do anything because he's scared or he can't fight. He pratices MMA fighting all the time !
So true! People think he's a pussy for not fighting back but it's like Lebron, you never see him retaliate, he just walks away because he's too important to the team
Why would he even fight back? That guy did nothing wrong. If you even look at the video, he held his hands up as if to say "you alright?" And then, look at Blake...after that gay ass headlock crap, notice how he then starts to charge Booker AFTER everyone comes to hold them apart? Did you notice that? Of course I respect these guys but you can't deny that was a bitch move on BG's part. Go ahead people and hate my comment...just stating facts tho.
Because his team has built a system which includes massive flopping every game...
Marlowe Vera Cruz haha nice
This is great because idiots like Booker who has no real basketball value but being below average dirty work guy will one day hurt one of the most exciting Dunkers ever and we all will suffer. Imagine if somebody like Lebron, KD or Blakes career is ended because a low basketball iq guy like Booker wants to make a statement in the preseason. The NBA would suffer tremendously. Now I understand and don't mind hard fouling but there's a certain time and place and the preseason is not. If I can't see Blake dunk on people anymore because of Trevor Booker idk what I'd do.
Anyone else notice the kid who was denied a high five to Griffin!😂
In other words, CDR is legit wearing the short shorts
he should just man up , Last year we saw Randolph tell the ref to let go of the physical play against Perkins
0:25 the third kid sums up my life
Is it me , or did it look like the guy was trying to catch Griffin and keep him from falling ?
Blake Griffen always TRYNNA fight somebody. He grabbing heads like he TRYNNA kiss.
I would've been pissed too if he'd hit my face like that ..
Way to keep it classy and give those kids a high five afterward, such a great role model for them!
That's what I'm talking about blake! Get mad!
Haha this funny griffin got him in the headlock nene had Jimmy butler in last year playoffs
Do I know you
Terrence Dudley no nigga
Why the fuck you answer then
lmao nene straight up soned jimmy butler with that shit tho
Alexander Patrick haha
Blake needs to make an example out of one of these jokers already.
It's clear that Blake still needs to learn what real hard fouls are...he's so entitled to his high flying dunks. It's such a personal attack when someone doesn't want to get dunked on, isn't it?
just a physical foul and two animated guys get into a bit of a scuffle
There you go Blake. Show em who's really boss.
every game blake griffin gets fouled hard as shit because nobody wants to get put on a poster. it must get real frustrating for Blake and idk how he never gets injured
it is good that hawes and douglas-roberts are on the floor, they really blocked blake griffin to prevent a fight.
Blake looked like he was bout to kiss the dude lol wtf
I've ALWAYS hated Griffin. This just pisses me off more because Booker is such a good dude.
I may be light skin but I got hands sun...
Haha Booker was scared when Blake put his hand on the back of his head.
Blake was about to get at him, look at his face he was calm as fuck holding that guys head, all he needed to do was rock him, blake does flop a lot but he is a strong dude
Lol who's the guy with the funky dreads on the clippers.
lol he denied the little kid
Was that nick young in dreads?
Randolph has already exposed Griffin as a fake tough guy. Blake is cosmetic buff and not tough.
You're a moron.
SenselessTalk cry harder
***** Moron.
Very good at using that word I see. Why don't you try to make a counter argument you fair weather fan.
***** Because you're a moron, there's no point of explaining it to you. (Oh damn! You just made me explain something to a moron!).
I can't really blame Griffin for fighting back, however he just needs to do it in a smarter way and not get a possibly ejection. I like this Blake Griffin.
Griffin thought about grabbing that Maui Thai clinch.
Lol, this shouldn't have been a flagrant. And why did Blake get mad when Trevor Booker pushed his hand away, don't put your hands on the back of his head then
CDR with his hair flopping all over the place.
Based on Griffin's wave-as-they-go-by defense, I would venture a kindergartener could take him in a fight
I just realized that one kid didnt get a high-five
I like griffin but that was kind of unnecessary, Booker came over at first to apologize, or so it seems.
Blake seriously needs to man the eff up and learn to take those hard fouls. You could clearly see Booker didn't mean any real harm by it. Blake needs to drop this princess syndrome, it's the friggin NBA, what do you expect?
1:05 Booker was like, my bad my bad (look at his hand, trying to say sorry).. but Griffin is trying to be hard and shit.. poor booker
I salute Blake Griffin coz even though his head is hot after that foul, he still managed to give high five to those kids :)
I like the foul and I also like the intensity by griffin. its gonna be a good basketball year folks
damn i miss the good old days when they would started punching at each other
PERVERT. Lmao
Lol
Lmao they would swing in the 80s, and i highly doubt were born to see those games
i grew up in the 90s and so did this guys cuz they re in their middle twenties but this league has changed so much now, adam silver is gonna try to make a sundays church out of the nba
come on he is just trying to stop him from getting the dunk. As a defender you should not let the offensive player to have an easy dunk..
Blake...calm down
Blake just wanted to make out. Why so harsh?
I like Blake, but he's not gonna fight anybody. He does the same stare, walk up slow, then waits for someone to step in so he can fake rush whoever. Lol
how is holding his head a scrap or a fight looks like he was looking in bar eyes on sum shit
Its pre season thats why BG got mad, while on the regular season, im sure he will just flop...
I'm like the fire blake
I think BG whips his ass . . Booker knows he's lucky he came away unscathed . . Ha Ha !!
0:27 DENIED
Blake didn't over react.
I get Blake not wanting to hit back because of suspensions but why just grab his neck lol
Apparently Griffin is making a big deal out it... Though booker did hit griffin's face, but he didn't mean to and has been trying to protect Blake to land safely 1:07.... Blake is so immature..
Griffin looks like Archie on steroids.
Kei Zhang lop
I was there when this happened
0:53 give me a kisss
#JazzNation #EverybodyUp
0:26 blake griffin left the kid hanging lol
DAMN I WISH BLAKE COULD HAVE BUSTED HIS LIP UP
He won't because he's a pussy. He had all that chance when he was holding booker. When his teammates arrived, he went all "hold me back" fake tough guy act.
anarchy24
And it's a good thing. You don't need one of your star players getting ejected and hurting your team's chances of winning. Plus, the NBA is much more strict about fighting than in the past.
1: Clippers are my favorite team.
2: Blake can be a hot-head.
Lmfaoooooo he cuffed this nigga whole head 😂😂😂😂 Blake foolin
0:26 haha!!
Blake's the frickin man! Frustrating dudes left and right. They don't know how to deal with him so they just get mad and swat. lmao
Good thing Griffin didn't play in the 90's. He'd be a stain on the floor for the cleaning crew to mop up.
Lmao Blake is funny as hell
Blake over reacted but getting fouled a lot does has a lot to do with it and he was beefing a lot with Trevor in the game if you watch the game instead of talking. But indeed Trevor was apologizing
I wish we could play basketball together and i'll hit you that way because it's just fine with you. I would love to spend my 6 foul hitting you in the face. You will stay cool though because i will apologize anyway.
Pawikz that does not make any sense, Trevor didn't punch him in the face, he was trying to block the ball or make 2 points hard for griffin, but Blake overreacted...
did i say Trevor punched Blake? Please read and understand my comment very well.
pawikz pogoy dude if we play together u will not be able to gaurd me number 1 #2 i get hit all the time because i drive to the paint
Based on the video, I am sure that Blake could've easily connected a punch but he hesitated. I wonder if he thought the punch is not worth the repercussions. However it also looked like he would have done it anyway.. this is what happens when two lions collide, you need a few more people to reassure you that's it really isn't worth it. And a couple of high fives from the sideline kids..lol
lol blake griffin is not soft! he's smart at not swinging at somebody on a team that doesn't even make it to the playoffs! and y'all do know that he practices mma right? and what does booker do? nothing but pretend to be a tough guy, blake can whoop his butt because he's been practicing mma.
Lol tough guy Griffin winding up for a right hook or something? Give me a break, I like how he didn't start getting crazy until his team was all over trying to restrain him. Old school hard foul, stop crying and play. Booker had no idea Kuwabara took it as bad as he did till the dumbass put his hand behind his neck and white jerseys circled around him.
You are so right! I saw that and was like Blake you ain't bout that life. Stop!
Griffin is a chump. A damn good baller, but a chump.
