10:04 AM ET 04.07 | In his second full season playing in the NBA, Blake Griffin hasn't made the leap many thought he would. But while the scoring and rebounding numbers are down, Griffin has stepped up to become one of the more polarizing players around the league. Whether it's because he dunks on people, flops on defense, battles in the paint or reacts to calls (and non-calls), Griffin might be leading the league in player criticism this season. Lakers Pau Gasol and Matt Barnes have been openly critical of Griffin's on-court persona, and after the Clippers' eight-point win in Sacramento, DeMarcus Cousins' stated his case that Griffin's a flop. Cousins spent most of the game in foul trouble, and his fifth came on a play where he swiped at Griffin's face.

Too bad Karl Malone isn't still in the league to put this thug in his place.

I know you don't watch Lkaer games, but MWP hasn't been ejected from games for stupid decisions lately.

Is he drinking during games again?

I don't care about the stare-downs, or that he is supposed to be arrogant, I mean what good player isn't arrogant? But he is over-hyped. And they have to call stuff like a shot to the head of Pau on the 2nd dunk the other day, that was an offensive foul.
