LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin grappled with MMA star Donald Cerrone. He sprinted with Olympian Carmelita Jeter. He worked with shooting coach Bob Thate.
He drilled. He practiced. He worked. He improved.

Less Netflix. Less Comedy Central. More thinking.
“I never thought I was much of a reader until I forced myself to get into it,” Griffin said.
