Blake Griffin cracked jokes about the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors and more in his hilarious new song.
Blake Griffin and comedy are almost as synonymous as Blake Griffin and monstrous dunks. The Detroit Pistons’ forward recently dropped a comedy song in partnership with Red Bull in which he cracked jokes about his trade from the Los Angeles Clippers, the Golden State Warriors, Microsoft and more.
Check it out:
In the song, Blake sets out to solve all the world’s problem through song, similar to the classic We Are The World. However, among some of the world’s problems come a few minor issues.
Clippers and Ballmer
Blake’s first big joke lands early on when he and Craig Robinson (The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine) equates natural disasters, poverty and crime to finding out “the team you just signed with gave you away.”
Obviously, this joke is all about Blake being surprisingly traded away by the Clippers last season after having just re-signed to a max contract. It’s good to say he can still have some fun with the situation.
Blake also takes another shot, albeit a veiled one, when Jack McBrayer (30 Rock) starts listing problems he has with Windows. Blake’s ultimate response is just “Microsoft, huh? Gross. Sucks.”
Clippers’ owner Steve Ballmer was Chief Executive Officer for Microsoft for fourteen years prior to his retirement and purchase of the franchise. Once again, Blake it making light of the trade situation.
Golden State
Blake also goes after Golden State for adding DeMarcus Cousins during the offseason. He sings about inequality and life being unfair, culminating in “Fight inequality when it goes too far, like when the Warriors add another All-Star.”
Everyone knows the Warriors are essentially unfair, should all their players be healthy. With Cousins slated to be the starting center upon his return from injury, the Warriors would be sporting five All-Stars in their starting lineup, with All-Star Andre Iguodala coming off the bench.
More from Blake?
Although he is now in Detroit, it’s good to get some more viral content from Blake Griffin. He may not be able to do as much during the season now that he isn’t stationed in Los Angeles, but hopefully we can get some more content out of him sooner rather than later.
Just remember, as Blake says, that the world’s problem are really bad and that sometimes even famous people do get sad.
