Great shooting range.
Mad rebounding skills.
Passion on overdrive.
And that's why it should come as no surprise that the LA Clippers' Blake Griffin will become the NBA's rookie of the year for 2011.
Griffin averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists in a scintillating rookie season that comes with 2 major NBA awards: the slam dunk crown and now, the rookie of the year award.
He's also the first rookie to play in the All-Star game since 2003, when Yao Ming was a rookie, the only rookie to be named rookie of the month 6 times (the last rookie to do that was Chris Paul) and he logged 63 double-doubles for the Clippers.
John Wall was Griffin's nearest competition for the award and it wasn't even close.
