Tuesday afternoon, consensus number one overall pick Blake Griffin took some time to make a special appearance in NYC before the NBA Draft.

Mr. Griffin showed up at Manhattan’s legendary West 4th basketball court, to play a game of S-U-B-W-A-Y, better known as HORSE. The event was sponsored by Subway Sandwiches, where Blake played against an unlikely adversary in Jared, better known as “The Subway Guy.”

Not to anyone’s surprise, Blake won the match up showing off some of his skills,but it wasn’t pretty. Despite Jared looking like he’d moved on to those new pizzas on the Subway menu, he gave Griffin a run for his money. I know one thing, if Blake is going to help those awful Clippers win, he had better develop a little jump shot.

When asked what he thought he can brings to a team he replied, “They are going to get a hard worker who wants win.”

The question remains what number Griffin will wear in the NBA, seeing that his college number of 23 carries a huge legacy in the league.

“Yeah, I like the number 23, but I don’t know if anybody will have it,” he said with a chuckle. “If not then that’s the number I’ll wear.”

Check this clip of Blake throwing down on the court. Do you think he does justice to his Airness?
