LA Clippers All-Star forward Blake Griffin sat down with Rolling Stone for a fun Q&A, and discussed everything from the benefits of medical marijuana (word to Larry Sanders), to passing gas during games (Blake claims it helped vault him over Timofey Mozgov), and even shared his creationist beliefs:
Your ads are hilariously deadpan. Where’d you get that style? “I’ve always had a very dry sense of humor, and I’ve pretty much grown up on Will Ferrell, first on Saturday Night Live, then Old School and Wedding Crashers.”
Seems like maybe you modeled your basketball game on him, too. “The first step was getting my hair cut like Will. Once I got that down, I just slowly dissected his game and his look.”
The NFL might let players use medical marijuana to treat pain. If you had a vote, would the NBA do the same? “It doesn’t really affect me, but so many guys would probably benefit from it and not take as many painkillers, which have worse long-term effects. So I would vote yes. I just think it makes sense.”
You were home-schooled until the seventh grade. Are you Team Creationism or Team Evolution? “I was raised in a Christian household and went to a Christian high school, so I believe in creationisim, for sure.”
So you think the Earth is only 6,000 years old? “I don’t want to do the math, but somewhere around there.”
