Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin announced his retirement from the NBA on Tuesday.

Griffin was selected first overall by the LA Clippers out of Oklahoma in the 2009 draft. His time in Los Angeles got off to a rough start, as he broke the patella in his left knee during the preseason.

Griffin came back the following season and won the 2010-11 Rookie of the Year Award and made the first of five straight All-Star appearances.
