Offered in this lot is a pair of home and road Blake Griffin Los Angeles Clippers game jerseys from the 2010-11 NBA season.

Griffin provided an immediate return on investment for the Clippers, starting all 82 games and winning, making the Western Conference All-Star team, and earning the NBA Rookie of the Year award with averages of 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. The home jersey in this lot has “Clippers” applied to the chest in blue, white, and red, while Griffin’s number “32” is sewn on the chest and back in red mesh over blue and white tackle twill. “GRIFFIN” is sewn across the back shoulders in blue tackle twill. An Adidas size “2XL” tag and a NBA Authentics tag are sewn on the front left tail. A “Length +2”” flag is attached to the Adidas tag. Griffin has signed the “3” digit on the back of the jersey in black marker.
The second jersey in this lot, a red road jersey, has “Los Angeles” applied to the chest in white, red, and blue, while Griffin’s number “32” is sewn on the chest and back in blue mesh over white and red tackle twill. “GRIFFIN” is sewn across the back in white tackle twill. An Adidas size “2XL” tag with an attached “Length +2”” flag is sewn on the front left tail. Griffin has signed the “3” digit on the back of this jersey in black marker. Each jersey in this lot originates from the personal memorabilia collection of Tyronn Lue, who was gifted the jerseys by Griffin. Lue has provided a LOA for both jerseys, stating that to the best of his knowledge the jerseys were game issued and possibly game used, but he cannot confirm game use because the jerseys were not taken off the back of Griffin when presented to him. Each jersey also comes with a LOA from JSA (Z32984, Z32996). Please note that Tyronn Lue is donating 100% of his proceeds from the sale of this item to the United Methodist Church of Mexico, Missouri.
