You can't be 20 and 10 off of pure athleticism. If that were the case, it wouldn't be such an anomaly.
Charles Barkley really said he would pick Klay over Steph. That proves that just because you play the game, doesn't mean you can analyze it man.

you cant get 20-10 with only athleticism
if you put a goldfish's brain into a super athletic basketball player you would get deandre jordan who will only net you 9-7

when a hall of fame Power Forward is analyzing a Power Forward, yea you might want to listen.
what he said is 100% true. come playoffs, the game slows down and becomes a halfcourt game. aside from the rare lob from cp3 off of a pick & roll, Blake has absolutely nothing to contribute in the half court offense.

he had 9-17 tonight and 17-11 in the opener.
and Mr. goldfish brain has shown more progression in his game than Blake since entering the league.

So in response to dude saying you can't put up 20 & 10 off of pure athleticism,
he cited Deandre Jordan's output over 2 games? Really? I guess..

Blake Griffin's athleticism is an anomaly. Few players ever have had the physical gifts he does. That's why people expect so much from him.
If Zach Randolph can average 20/10 just off offensive skill and hustle, what should Griffin be doing?
Edit: And it's not even about the numbers really, it's the fact that he isn't a consistent offensive option in the post.. which can be seeing from watching him play not just looking at boxscores. He has trouble scoring when he isn't assisted. That's detrimental to a team.

If your getting more than half your points off oops and offensive boards, is that not pure athleticism?

Offensive boards is a skill. Oops too. Some players dont have that ability to score that way.

He will never, ever be a dependable paint scorer in the halfcourt. Ever. Been saying that forever.
You guys can argue the what, when, where and why of his numbers all you want, but that impact will never be there. Beyond that, he's a liability on one whole side of the ball and at the line.
He's a mostly hollow player. Strictly numbers. Not a regular-basis game-changer. No mental edge. He's just there.

Production, production production. If it was all about athleticism then DJ would be doing what BG has been doing throughout their short careers thus far.
It isn't about just athleticism. My point is that you all are underrating blake's skills as an offensive player.
