Blake Griffin is well known for his time in the NBA.
At the height of his career, Griffin was one of the most prolific dunkers the league had ever seen and made a name for himself as a well-rounded player.
His peak lasted a long time and near the end of his career, he joined the Boston Celtics for one season.
During that season, he met Payton Pritchard, a young player budding with potential.
It was evident that the two got along well as teammates, as Griffin recently officiated his wedding, which was shared on Hoop Central on Twitter via Overtime.

Pritchard tied the knot with influencer, Emma MacDonald, a star-studded event.
Many of his Celtics teammates showed up to support him, except those who were playing in the Olympics in Paris.
This level of support and camaraderie bodes well for the Celtics ahead of the 2024-2025 NBA season.
They are coming off a stunning NBA Finals victory and with many of their starters and role players returning to the fold next year, they should have a great opportunity to repeat as champs.
Pritchard looks to be a massive part of that, as he started as someone who played marginal minutes but is now consistently playing 20 minutes per game.
The Celtics have come to rely on their two main stars, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, but they’ve also needed to count on players like Pritchard down the stretch to help provide valuable minutes when called upon.
