Steve Nash praises Blake Griffin: His willingness do the dirty work is unbelievable

Griffin: At this point being part of something bigger than yourself and trying to win takes precedence, so you do whatever it takes

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash talks about Blake Griffin, who ended game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks with 18 points (4/9 from long range), 14 rebounds, 3 assist and 2 steals.

“We knew he would get looks,” said Nets head coach Steve Nash. “Boston switched everything and he wasn’t going to get looks. We know that the Bucks have traditionally packed the paint and protected the rim. He got some looks that we expected. You know the make and misses are important in its finality, but that willingness to flight and claw and do the dirty work has been unbelievable from Blake since he got here. His energy and toughness as well. How much he cares is on display. And that was very impressive and it definitely gave our team a big shot in the arm.”

The first overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft is ready to do anything to help the team: “At this point being part of something bigger than yourself and trying to win takes precedence, so you do whatever it takes”
