His dunks made him a superstar.

His stats are solid, but others believe he is overrated and shouldn’t be trusted. The Clippers still have yet to make it out of the second round of the playoffs – ever – and Griffin’s constant whining is not helping the cause.

That said, he has an L.A. personality and the best big-man talent the city has seen since Shaquille O’Neal.

A trip to the finals would elevate him to L.A. legend status and cement his place among the best players in the metropolis. For now, however, his tantalizing ability and breath-taking dunks will have to suffice.
