Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has been showing up very often in ads for various brands– he’s a well-known commodity.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has the personality to do the same, but before now, hasn’t been as visible.
In this commercial for the popular puzzle game Jenga, Griffin and Love show their comedic and acting chops.
Somehow, it seems like this is just the right pair for the commercial.
Nice casting Jenga.

"Bad night ... Tough game."That was how Ricky Rubio began his tweet after the Timberwolves lost to Memphis Wednesday night.It was a bad night and a tough game ... for Rubio, in particular. He had only one assist in the loss. That's the fewest assists of his young career.Chances are, there will not be many games like that -- not as long as Kevin Love is in the lineup...

There was a time when the Los Angeles Clippers were one of, if not the most, laughable team in the NBA. There was a time when Clipper fans faded to the background when sports fans in L.A. debated who the best team of the city was, regardless of sport.

When Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Love isn't stomping on Luis Scola's face and chest, he is a pretty good player. The double-double machine was recently selected to join the 2012 Western Conference All-Star reserves (his second All-Star appearance) but apparently he won't just be taking part in the Sunday big game.
