‘Blake Griffin Is the American Jan Vesely’
By Jamie Mottram | June 24, 2011
I love the Wizards’ draft. Chris Singleton is a godsend at 18, and Shelvin Mack seems like a great value pick at 34. But Jan Vesely stole the show.
First, immediately upon being selected No. 6 overall he stood up and made out with his girlfriend.
ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla then complimented Vesely’s “great taste in women,” compared him to Tom Chambers and predicted he’ll “win a dunk contest,” all in the time it took the 21-year-old to walk across the stage.
Finally, Vesely was asked about being called “the European Blake Griffin.” His response? “Blake Griffin is the American Jan Vesely.”
Not a bad sequence for my new favorite player. HAPPY

Nice. Good for him.
Here’s a vid of the great NBA draft moment in case people missed it:

And the entire 4 minute segment. Good stuff.

The highlights made me see why they got him. Wall needs some guys to pass to. His stats may kinda suck and be underwhelming but he’s also the 2011 FIBA Young Player of the year if that counts for anything. And again highlights. And swag. And Ivan Drago’s accent. We’ll see what happens…

Geez. How tall is that chick? He’s 6′11″ and didn’t even have to bend down to kiss her. She must be a freak.

She’s a baller.

She’s 6′3″ supposedly. Must have been wearing heels.

She was actually standing on a chair per the SVP show.
