NEW YORK (AP) — Blake Griffin is joining the collection of stars in Brooklyn.

The six-time All-Star agreed to sign with the Nets, a person with knowledge of the details said Sunday. The Brooklyn Nets confirmed the deal Monday.

Griffin became a free agent Friday when he completed a buyout agreement with the Detroit Pistons. He cleared waivers Sunday and was eligible to sign with any team.

The often-injured forward decided to join All-Stars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden in Brooklyn, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement.

Because the Big 3 superteams are no longer enough. The NBA is so pathetic. Professional sports are dead.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Deandre Jordan, and Blake Griffin all teamed up to beat a 36 year old LeBron James... pathetic.

This could be a big mistake. Griffin could screw up the chemistry of a team that was doing pretty well.

Griffin could be the worst flopper in the history of the NBA. Painful to watch.

Last night was an empty TV night for me, with the NBA All Star game and the Oprah interview. Glad I slept through it all.

The only way I pay any attention to the NBA is by following former Zags. I know Domantas Sabonis was playing in the ASG, and I'm happy for him. Maybe next year.

There was a real puff piece on Mark Cuban in the Dallas Morning News. The author, Callie Caplan, must be angling for a job as his publicist. The Mavericks have done a horrible job of building a team around Luka, who appears to be a generational talent.

What chemistry? Most of them are broken down shells of themselves. They ought to change the team name to the Brooklyn Bidens.

It does not help that there are at least a half dozen NBA teams that are intentionally losing games.

When Blake was new to the league, he made a car commercial where it appears that he is jumping over the car. Maybe its a blue-screened fake, but the guy was an amazing athlete when he broke into the league.

I don't watch the NBA @ all.

Now and again I might watch something that is of interest....on youtube

But I don't care.

Pretty much don't give any money to pro-sports...
