    OK,,,,here is an exercise is being unfair to a man's quotes on a playful media day.

    in Griffin's own words:

    http://nba.com/rockets/news/griffin_diary1.html?nav=ArticleList

    You mean you are only 90% right now, and you came to your first camp out of shape? And we traded 3 first rounders and basically our entire future for you.

    ...and presumably, he doesn't have a good work ethic too..

    ...is that like being "crazy" like Mobley and playing everday in the Summer so you don't have to ice down in camp.

    So, is that why you left college after one year, because your coach was hard on you?

    so, Les, what do you think about Griffin saying he's "out of shape," and he likes coaches not to be "hard" on him?

    "Uh...no comment."

    Crispee,

    I took Eddie's comments as "After seeing Steve and Cat in action" i realise i am a little out of shape, especially after this comment

    Still i think that's much better than him saying after seeing Cato and Walt train i realise i am in Sensational shape

    Smeg

    PS After watching the media day video and seeing some pictures, anyone think Walt should be re-nicknamed THE BUS.

    The picture is great.

    Shows how much of Wippet Cuttino is and how big (muscular bulk) Rice is. Good to see has been in the gym working on upper-body during the foot troubles. Rice could really teach Cat a few things about scoring off 1 and 2 dribbles.

    hehe

    so is it better than him saying, "Cato's fire?! Hell, it couldn't even light my farts."

    anyhow, let's just be glad Blinebury wasn't looking to make Griffin sound like an uncontrollable punk who fights teammates and doesn't like tough coaches...because he could easily have cornered that unsuspecting 19yr with leading follow-up questions like I suggested above.

    yeah wouldn't want any rockets given any tough revealing questions would we, best left to the rocket promotional people to say everything is perfect at the Houston Rockets.

    Go Fran

    Griffin really needs to hit the weights though. I've seen highschool ballers with better definition than him. And I'm not talking Amare Stoudemire or Kwame Brown...

    I think Griffin doesn't look weak, he actually looks very athletic. Right now, he has more of a PF body, but it could become a C body.

    Rice was probably telling him what his knees will look like in 10 years.

    I don't think that Cat is ever afraid.

    I think the conversation went like this...

    Rice: "When MY WIFE tells you to get her some coffee, you need to move. She WILL put you down!!!"

    Mobley: "Ohhhhhh...."

    Rice: "See my knees...these are from years of bowing down to praise her!"

    :D

    I'm worried that he is practicing his patented jumping at headfakes.
