Boston’s Blake Griffin on how he wasn’t mature enough to stand up to Donald Sterling
Veteran Boston Celtics big man Blake Griffin knows a thing or two about being a professional while stuck with a supremely dysfunctional ball club after having escaped from the mess that is the Brooklyn Nets franchise to join the Celtics this offseason.
But when he was a younger player just starting to make a name for himself in the NBA, even he was overwhelmed by the disastrous reign of infamous former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Too young to know how to stand up to the notorious team owner, the Oklahoma alum sat down to talk through how he felt about the situation with the host fo the eponymous “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” show.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what Griffin had to say about how a younger version of himself handled what in retrospect was one of the most problematic situations the NBA has ever found itself in.
