Comedy star Brad Williams says Blake Griffin could easily go from setting screens to setting up jokes now that he’s retired from the NBA … telling TMZ Sports the former hooper is legitimately good at standup.
Williams said out in L.A. on Tuesday — just hours after Griffin announced he was hanging up his basketball sneakers — that he’s seen the ex-Clippers forward rock the mic before … and he’s been seriously impressed.
And, Williams told us if Griffin uses his newfound free time to really commit to standup — he could be a real player in the comedy world.
“I saw him do it in Montreal,” Williams said of Blake’s joke-making talent. “And, he’s good. And, I hate that. ‘Cause you can’t be good at everything.”
Williams said Blake’s got a ton of great material to work with too … noting that as a former NBAer — and a Kardashian ex — he’s got a lot of ammo to get audiences giggling.
Blake, of course, has made it no secret he’s at least somewhat interested in pursuing laughs … he’s done standup routines several times over the years — and even once participated in a hilarious 2018 Roast Battle with Jeff Ross.
Griffin, though, obviously doesn’t need a new career if he doesn’t want one — he made over $250 MILLION in NBA contracts alone — and if he ultimately chose to end up in a rocking chair on a porch somewhere, check out the clip, seems Williams would certainly be just fine with that!
