So your team is clearly not working on all cylinders. But hey! You know what will sort everything out? A nice trip to Vegas! That’s what the Hangover taught us.
According to TMZ Sports, Blake Griffin has been charged with battery. Specifically, slapping the hell out of some dude.
Blake Griffin has been charged with a crime for allegedly slapping the crap out of a man inside a Las Vegas nightclub …TMZ Sports has learned.
The incident went down last month when Blake was at Tao Nightclub. According to the alleged victim — Daniel Schuman — the Clippers superstar was upset by camera flashes in his face … so he grabbed Daniel’s phone and neck. Daniel says Blake squeezed his neck, and demanded he give up his phone.
The Clark County D.A. has now charged Griffin with one count of misdemeanor battery. He faces 6 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine — though a jail sentence is highly unlikely since Blake has no prior convictions for violent crimes.
Blake was with DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul that night. None of the other players were involved in the alleged incident.
Why? Why do this? If you want to punch something. Go to a boxing gym or something.
Going to Vegas when you’re not Floyd Mayweather is frowned upon anyways, but to get arrested slapping a guy. That’s an act of stupidity right there people.
