Ok everybody. I’ve thought about creating a site like this for some time now. I can’t remember exactly when I started thinking about it but I think it was soon after I saw this:

It just makes sense that a one-hand alley-oop dunk with a guy hanging off him would be his first NBA basket, doesn’t it?

After yesterday’s call to action by the Godfather of Basketball Blogs, Henry Abbott over at ESPN’s TrueHoop, I knew it was officially time.

So here we are with a new blog devoted to a one man highlight reel, dubbed Quake (h/t @Winston_Wolfe), for the earth shattering dunks that happen primarily in L.A.

Can there really be a blog devoted to one player’s highlights? When that player is Blake Griffin, and the highlights are coming in every game, the answer is apparently, yes. The goal is for this site to be your one stop shop of Blake Griffin highlights, and to be a place where you can come discuss and argue for what highlights are better or your favorites and why.

I’d also like to involve you, the readers (should we get more than a few), to generate some of your own content. Have you made a great “remix” video of Blake’s highlights set to music? Send it to us. One of the features I hope to have is a somewhat frequent “I saw it with my own two eyes…” in which Clipper fans and fans who see highlights of Blake in person can e-mail/tweet/send a messenger bird of what it was like to see Blake in person. I’d also like to have a page of quotes of reactions to the highlights. I’ll also be linking to all things Blake on the “internets” to keep you up to date, so if you see something interesting about him shoot me an e-mail or a tweet.

Lastly if anyone would like to get involved and be a regular contributor to the blog please contact me at quakegriffin[at]gmail[dot]com. On that same note, comments, questions, sage advice, and constructive criticism all have a place in my inbox, so don’t be shy.
