Blake Griffin has tarnished his reputation, potentially lost endorsements, and hurt the Clippers in a bid to reach the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoffs by punching his friend, a Clippers employee, and breaking his shooting hand.

Look what you did Blake! This is what athletes, and specifically basketball players it seems, have lost.
