    Meh, it's just a slap. Paparazzi are scum anyways. It's one thin if it's an actor or TV star who pays them to follow th em around, another when you're an athlete and they encroach your space. Hoping griffin doesn't get charged, maybe a small fine at most.

    Vegas is not a good spot for NBA players if they hope to stay out of trouble.

    blake was really pissed when he was at Avenue on Washington during All Star weekend when he noticed someone taking a pic on their phone in his area. He grabbed their phone and deleted the pic lol

    So there's precedent to this alleged assault. What's he trying to hide, anyway?

    People still go to Tao? And what the hell is a 39 year old man doing clubbin?

    I guess 39 year old clubbers go to Tao. Griffin should be guilty just for being there.

    I think its more dependent on the type of players if you see them in a club. probably nothing really to hide besides most of the groupies that are around them. westbrook is another player that is against photos but people can probably see that judging by his demeanor alot of the time.

    If this guy is paparazzi, he just hit the jackpot. Antagonized someone enough to get slapped - now he can cry victim and get 10x the attention or better - a monetary "reward" for his troubles. Game-set-match.

    Since when is it wrong for a 39 year old, in Vegas no less, to be in a club?

    Hope the investigator says to the guy, "Sorry, I'm going to call you for illegal flopping."

    yeah he got pissed off at me when I took a pic of him in a club a few weeks back. DeAndre Jordan was cool though, we had a pretty long conversation.

    This can only give Blake some Street cred.. He's been saying that this season he ain't having it, so if you foul him hard, beware of the reactions...
