Blake Griffin is NBA's Top Rookie


Clippers foward Blake Griffin will be presented with this season's NBA Rookie of the Year award. Despite missing the entire 2009-2010 season, Griffin burst onto the scene with his captivating play and his countless number of outrageous dunk.

Blake averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists and became the first rookie since Yao Ming to participate in the All-Star Game.

Rose led the Bulls to an NBA-best 62-20 record while averaging 25.0 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds.
