Fresh off an extremely busy All-Star Weekend, Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin takes the court tonight in Oklahoma City to begin the process of putting the finishing touches on the best rookie campaign we've seen in years. Blake leads all rookies in scoring, rebounding and double-doubles, all while arguably being the most exciting player in the league to watch. The Clippers aren't going to be making any playoff pushes this season, but an improvement in the wins column would be an encouraging sign for a young franchise with quality pieces in place.
For the last several weeks, we've seen Blake frequent Sports Center's Top 10 in Player Exclusive colorways of the Nike Air Max Fly By. Seen here is the pair he rocks for away games, sporting a black Fused upper with white Swoosh logos on the lateral and medial panels. Varsity red is used for the tongue and ankle cross-strap, which is personalized with "BG32" in white. Blue pops up on the inner liner and Max Air unit, while a black midsole and red rubber outsole finish off things below.
Unless he's getting extended use out of his "10.0" Hyperdunk 2011 PE, you'll see Blake rock these in road games for the duration of the season.
