10. Sons John Wall

DATE: 3/12/2011
COMPLEX SAYS: The Wizards point guard, also in contention for Rookie of the Year, thought he had an easy fast break lay up until this emphatic block sent him to the hardwood. Griffin to J-Wall: "FOH with that! Not so dougie fresh now, huh?"

9. Caught Using the Shake Weight

DATE: 11/10/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: While in the locker room before a game against the Spurs, Griffin was cold busted using the Shake Weight. Where do you think all the arm strength for those dunks comes from? Serious smashing takes practice.

8. Blake Griffin Reporting

DATE: 12/8/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Griffin did some investigative journalism in this funny interview with teammate DeAndre Jordan. Homie isn't bad on the mic. If this NBA gig doesn't work out — not happening — he can always join the other ballers turned commentators after retirement.

7. Trick Shot Video

DATE: 11/15/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Trick shot videos have become a popular way for amateurs to get noticed but, in this one, Griffin reps for the pros. As a bonus, his teammate DeAndre Jordan provides the classic commentary. Sidebar: Clippers TV, FOH with that vertical profile on the camera angle. Step your production game up, please!

6. Bitch-made Defenders

DATE: 2/6/2011
COMPLEX SAYS: Desperately trying to avoid being posterized, Miami's Eddie House pushed Griffin as the alley-oop was thrown in his direction. House isn't the only player to dodge a Griffin facial (II) this season. Word to Elton Brand. Guys, there's no need to get violent. If you scared, go to church.

5. Signs Fan's Panini

DATE: 9/24/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: During an autograph session, a fan asked BG to sign his sandwich then proceeded to eat the panini signature and all. "If he signs this sandwich," the fan remarked, "I will become part of Blake Griffin and he will become part of me." Ayo!

4. Double Blocks Vince Carter

DATE: 12/12/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Vinsanity you thought this was 2000 when you were the King of Springs? There's a new dunk champ in town, son. Get that shit outta here two times—because blocking a fellow high riser once is never enough.

3. Superman That Hoe

DATE: 2/28/2009
COMPLEX SAYS: While playing for the Sooners, Blake made countless hustle plays including this time when he dove into the stands to save a loose ball. Afterward, Griffin said he didn't even think twice about it. BEAST.

1. 360 Layup

DATE: 12/17/2010
COMPLEX SAYS: When the refs get hyped over a layup (peep the 12-second mark), you know you're the league's No. 1 show-stopper. Happy birthday and salute!
