On this inaugural episode of Sloane Knows!, 14-year-old Sloane interviews NBA superstar Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Oklahoma Sooners, and was named the Consensus National Player of the Year as a sophomore. Griffin was selected first overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2009 NBA draft, and has since been a five-time NBA All-Star and a four-time All-NBA selection.
On the show, Blake talks about his childhood, his career, and his thoughts on the league's current state and stars. Sloane gets the full story of Blake Griffin – then and now. What was he like at 14? At what age did he know he was going to make the NBA?
As one of the most recognizable players in the modern league, Blake is known for his dunks and his ability to play above the rim, but Sloane takes it past the paint and learns what it was like for him to do the following:
Sloane then takes Blake through some “this or that”, or as we like to call it, “Muggsy or Manute” where we learn about Blake’s sweet tooth and love for Michael Jordan. They wrap up with some “hot takes,” (and possibly some conspiracies) about the NBA awards being rigged, Cristiano Ronaldo giving Sloane driving lessons, and why LA will always be better than New York. If you're feeling like you're stuck in a rut with your NBA knowledge, then this episode is for you!
