Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin
will be named the NBA's Rookie of the Year Wednesday, according to a
league source not authorized to speak publicly on the announcement.
The Clippers on Tuesday announced a news conference for the
presentation of a major NBA award.
The high-flying rookie from
Oklahoma had one of the best rookie season's in NBA history. He averaged
22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
The 6-foot-10 power forward made the West All-Star team, becoming the first rookie All-Star in eight years, since Yao Ming in 2003, and even won the dunk contest in front of his Staples Center fans with an iconic dunk while flying over a car.
He was so dominant, the Rookie of the Year award was a virtual lock for the last two months of the season.
"If
someone doesn't vote for Blake, they haven't watched a lot of
basketball," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said before the team's
season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies on April 13.
