Blake Griffin Announces His NBA Retirement After 14 Seasons

Following a prolific, era-defining career in the NBA, Blake Griffin has officially announced his retirement.

“I never envisioned myself as the guy who would have a ‘letter to basketball’ retirement announcement … and I’m still not going to be that guy,” Griffin wrote. “But as I reflected on my career, the one feeling I kept coming back to and the one thing I wanted to express was thankfulness.” “I’m thankful for every single moment — not just the good ones: the wins, the awards, the dunks and the memorable times spent with family, friends, fans, teammates and coaches,” Griffin continued. “I could continue on about the people in my life who have contributed immensely to my career, but in this short non-letter, I have to acknowledge my parents, Tommy and Gail, and my brother, Taylor, for their unconditional support and guidance.

“I am equally thankful for the not-so-good moments: the losses, the injuries, the wayyyy too many surgeries, the lessons, the heartbreaks, and it wouldn’t be a sports retirement letter without acknowledging the ‘haters,’” Griffin wrote. “All of these experiences made my 14 years in the league truly unforgettable, and I can’t help but just to feel thankful.”Griffin wrote, “The game of basketball has given me so much in this life, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
