Blake Griffin is now the face of the Los Angeles Clippers’ franchise after the team re-signed the big man and traded Chris Paul earlier in the week.
But if you ask the Clippers themselves, it appears they believe Griffin is a pioneer in the form of Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.
No. Really.

Well, that’s some mighty high praise for a basketball player. In reality, the Clippers have $173 million reasons to believe Griffin is a pioneer. We’re just not too sure the comparisons on this shirt make much sense.
