You want to dominate college basketball some day? Better run out and buy your resistance bands!
Seriously, take a look at this passage from Baxter Holmes' feature on Griffin for the Los Angeles Times:
"'His hamstrings go on forever,' says Jennifer Sheppard, Griffin's Pilates instructor when he took the course last fall.
"A dance instructor at Oklahoma, impressed by the big guy's limber limbs, even thought of casting Griffin in a modern dance piece. 'I don't think [modern] is my style,' Griffin says, laughing."
