NBA: 30 NBA players you forgot acted in movies or TV shows

NBA: 30 NBA players you forgot acted in movies or TV shows – Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin is an incredibly talented and athletic basketball player, who has added perimeter skills to his game even as he has aged into his athletic twilight. He was the star of “Lob City” for the LA Clippers before making his way East later in his career.

Some combination of his personal wit and exposure to Hollywood seems to have created a legitimately funny individual, as Griffin frequently does stand-up comedy and is producing his own prank show. He has a dry wit and really good timing; he is actually good at telling jokes, not just “good for a basketball player.”

After a couple of minor roles, he really broke into the comedy scene by his ensemble role in “The Female Brain” as a version of himself, an injured professional basketball player. His “I’m a physical marvel” scene is sure to induce at least a chuckle.

Griffin is now producing and hosting a hidden camera reality prank show called “Double Cross with Blake Griffin” where he helps frequent “prankees” become the pranksters. Any Candid Camera fans out there?

Even as Griffin’s NBA career dies down, his comedy career is likely just ramping up.
