Hang Time Podcast (Episode 224) Green or Griffin?

from NBA Hang Time · host NBA Digital

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS Draymond Green or Blake Griffin? Who would you take between these two elite power forwards, each with their own unique set of skills, to start your team? Do you ride with the perennial All-Star, the four-time All-NBA pick and sure thing that is Griffin? Or do you rock with the NBA champion, the walking triple-double/human jack-knife that is Green? It's a great debate and one that we delve into on Episode 224 of The Hang Time Podcast. There really is no wrong answer, when you think about it. Both Griffin and Green are on the short list of players at their position who are universally considered game changers. They do it in different ways, of course. But their value to their respective teams cannot be disputed. Would the Golden Warriors have risen to a championship level without the contributions of Green? Even with All-Stars like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson doing their thing, the easy answer is no, absolutely not. Would the Los Angeles Clippers have scratched and clawed their way out of the abyss the past few years without the rise and shine of Griffin? Nope. Chris Paul is the man that stirs the drink, but even he admits that the Clippers go as Griffin goes. We talk Green and Griffin, recap the Warriors' smashing of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers during the NBA's Martin Luther King Jr. Day showcase, discuss our picks for the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star rosters and much more on Episode 224 of The Hang Time Podcast.
