When you have a tough year or a year that didn't go the way you wanted it, especially the playoffs and all that and not being able to take advantage of our team and our talent on our team, you feel that. And whenever something is taken away from you like that, you definitely cherish it more.

I've never really worried about being called soft or people thinking I'm soft. If anybody wants to step and take that challenge, I'm more than happy - off the court - because I don't want to get suspended.

It's not something that I dwell on. I've never really had a problem with being soft.

Blake Griffin Quotes
