Blake Griffin Pushes Trainer's Head Near Groin, Leaves Sportscasters Stranded

Blake Griffin left the guys in the booth stranded Thursday night with an ill-timed joke on national television.

Cameras zeroed in on Griffin in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Clippers' 123-84 immolation of the Brooklyn Nets.

The Clippers forward was relaxing on the bench and having his knee iced by a trainer when he grabbed the man by the back of the head and pantomimed a certain thing you should not pantomime on live television.

The move earned Griffin a couple of soft punches from the trainer, while sportscasters scrambled to talk through the incident.

Vine user @VinnyViner (h/t SB Nation's Seth Rosenthal) uploaded a clip of the moment.

"No, don't do that!" said TNT sportscaster Kevin Harlan, left hanging on the broadcast with nothing but a tight shot of locker room humor to work with.

Obviously, Griffin was enjoying himself thoroughly on the bench with a big lead and the game well in hand. He may, however, want to save the Super Troopers shenanigans for a later time.
