Blake Griffin Talks Comedy, Basketball, and Life with Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart: Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a special guest, my man, Blake Griffin! Blake, how you doing, big fella?
Blake Griffin: I’m good, Kev. It’s always great to catch up with you. How’s everything in the comedy world?
Kevin Hart: Oh, you know, just making people laugh and trying to keep up with these teenagers on TikTok. Man, it’s tough! But you, you’re not busy at all, right? Just dunking on people and being a superstar?
Blake Griffin: (Laughs) Yeah, something like that. It’s all basketball, workouts, and recovery. But hey, I’m trying to get into your world a bit with this comedy thing. How about that?
Kevin Hart: I heard about that! You’ve been doing some stand-up, right? What got you into it?
Blake Griffin: Well, you know me, I’ve always loved making people laugh. Basketball is great and all, but there’s something about getting up on stage and connecting with an audience. Plus, it’s a good way to get out of my comfort zone.
Kevin Hart: Man, that’s awesome. Let me give you a piece of advice though: don’t ever try to be funnier than me. (Laughs) Nah, but seriously, how does it compare to stepping onto the court for you?
Blake Griffin: The adrenaline is different. On the court, it’s all about focus and competition. On the stage, it’s more about sharing a piece of yourself and finding that common ground with the audience. But the nerves? Oh, those are the same!
Kevin Hart: I feel that. Speaking of nerves, let’s talk about that time you jumped over a car. Were you more nervous about that or your first comedy set?
Blake Griffin: Oh man, definitely the car dunk. That was a one-shot deal in front of millions. Comedy, you have a bit more room to recover if a joke doesn’t land. You can always hit them with another one, you know?
Kevin Hart: True, true. You got any funny stories from the locker room? I know you NBA guys have some wild times.
Blake Griffin: Oh for sure. One time, we had this rookie who kept pranking everyone, right? So we got him back by filling his car with popcorn. And I’m not talking a little bit—I’m talking the whole car, like a popcorn avalanche.
Kevin Hart: (Laughs) Man, that’s cruel but hilarious. Speaking of pranks, can we expect any prank wars on your comedy tour?
Blake Griffin: You know it, Kev. Keep an eye out if you ever come to one of my shows. It’s all part of the fun!
Kevin Hart: I love it. Keep doing your thing out there, Blake. I’ll be front row at your next show.
Blake Griffin: Thanks, Kev. And I’ll be there to catch your next movie. Always a pleasure, man.
Kevin Hart: Anytime, Blake. Best of luck, my dude.
