Learn the Incredible Story of the Los Angeles Clipper's Star Power Forward Blake Griffin Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Blake Griffin: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Dominant Power Forwards, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's star, Blake Griffin. This short unauthorized biography of Blake Griffin highlights incredible ascent to almost winning the Most Valuable Player award in the 2013-2014 NBA season. The arrival of Blake Griffin for the Los Angeles Clippers marked the turning point for a traditionally bottom-feeder franchise. Now, alongside the leadership of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Clippers have become a formidable team in the Western Conference, intimidating teams with stylish alley-oop passes and dominating performances by Griffin. A franchise once lottery-bound has become one of the hottest franchises in the NBA today. Read on to learn about Blake Griffin's journey into the league from his childhood growing up alongside a talented brother, to his college years at Oklahoma before ultimately propelling into the NBA. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and High School Years College Years at Oklahoma Blake Griffin's NBA Career Griffin's Personal Life Blake Griffin's Impact on Basketball Blake Griffin's Legacy & Future An excerpt from the book: If you regularly watch ESPN SportsCenter's daily top 10 plays then there's a good chance that you have seen a lot of Los Angeles Clippers' power forward Blake Griffin. In the span of his young and promising career, Blake Griffin's flurry of electrifying, death defying, posterizing dunks have been his main source of fame. Measuring at 6 feet 10 inches and weighing 250 pounds combined with otherworldly athleticism and leaping ability; Griffin is an impressive physical specimen. Along with running mates NBA All-Star point guard Chris Paul and fellow dunking dervish DeAndre Jordan, Griffin is at the center of the moniker he himself coined for the team, "Lob City". His humiliation efforts of fellow big men Timofey Mozgov, Kendrick Perkins and Pau Gasol have generated almost six million YouTube views. He won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2011 by leaping over a car and then slamming the ball down while being serenaded by a choir singing R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly". He has also been featured in numerous commercials and advertisements for brands such as Kia (who sponsors the slam dunk contest) and Subway.However, his best ability has also begotten his greatest criticism. Many basketball experts, including hall of fame power forward Charles Barkley; have dismissed Griffin of being a one-dimensional dunker. They claim that he doesn't have a refined post-up game, relies too much on his physical gifts and has limited basketball acumen. His poor free-throw shooting and playoff struggles so far haven't helped his case either. Even contemporaries dislike his tough guy on-court persona, the way he looks at his opponents with a stone-cold expression after his dunks and his alleged constant flopping. Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies called Griffin an "actor" prior to a 2012 playoff matchup.

Linspired reveals the remarkable journey of the ultimate underdog, Jeremy Lin, formerly of the New York Knicks, current superstar point guard of the Houston Rockets, and the first American-born player of Chinese/Taiwanese descent to play in the National Basketball Association. In spite of being cut by two NBA teams before he signed with the Knicks, Lin always trusted that God had a plan for his life and his talents. In an interview with Mike Yorkey, Lin says, "I'm not exactly sure how it is all going to turn out, but I know for a fact that God has called me to be here now in the NBA.” After weeks of sitting at the end of the bench, a teammate’s injury finally placed Lin on the court. Since then, he has captivated sports fans throughout the world with his tremendous skill and humble response to all the acclaim. Weighing in on this phenomenon are tennis’s Michael Chang, the first notable Asian-American athlete, Lin’s pastor, Stephen Chen, and Pat Williams, senior vice president of the Orlando Magic. Other features include eight pages of full-color photos and in-depth interviews with Lin himself, as well as an entirely new chapter detailing Jeremy’s move to the Rockets.

No Man Could Tame Her Jessi Rose Clayton would do anything to keep the family ranch from falling into the wrong hands-even agree to take on a rough-and-tumble outlaw as her protector. With his rugged, handsome face and muscular bronze body, Griffin Blake can draw a sigh from a lady's lips almost as fast as his strong, sculpted arm can draw a gun from its holster. But Jessi Rose has no intentions of falling for his charms. No, her relationship with him is strictly business. Until He Came Along Robbing the railroad is Griffin Blake's game, but he has no choice. Either he agrees to help Jessi Rose or he gets sent back to jail-so he arrives at the ranch ready to help the ornery female protect her land. But underneath Jessi's all-business exterior is a femininity she's kept hidden for far too long-making Griffin think it might be time to tame this wild Texas rose.
