Blake Griffin gives the most awkward interview ever

Nobody prepped him for this apparently.

I don't want to spoil it for you, nor will I quote pieces of it. It's a train-wreck from the second question on.

Apparently, not even 2K instructed him to be head-over-heels excited about the game in interviews.

Yeah, it's kind of bland to say the least.

"Mostly people will send me pictures of me getting dunked on by their player. They’ll send me pictures or tweet me of how I got dunked on."

I can see people doing that...

It's like they woke him up in the middle of the night and he was in no mood to talk.

It could be that he's just not a great interview, though he has displayed more personality in other interviews I've seen. It doesn't help that he's not much of a gamer, that kind of sucks the enthusiasm out of the whole piece to begin with.

X player talks about unicorns, 'NBA 2K'

Q: Do you play NBA 2K?
A: Nope. But I do love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYzBseUVEhc.

I find it ironic, because I remember some kind of segment where he stated that he wanted to be anything but ordinary. I don't know if it was an interview or a show segment, or his brother quoting him, or something else, but I remember it.
