I’m flying down Saturday, right before Game 5," ucap Griffin.

Kedekatannya dengan klub bermula sejak masa taman kanak-kanak di Broccoli Elementary berkat pengaruh gurunya yang sering membawa murid-murid menonton langsung sebelum era Tim Duncan dimulai.

Ia kemudian melanjutkan pendidikan dan aktif berolahraga di Communications Arts High School serta Taft High School.

"OK, so I went to Communications Arts High School — played sports for Taft High School on the same campus," kata Griffin.

Griffin menyampaikan apresiasi khusus kepada komunitas pendukung, kerabat, dan keluarga di kampung halamannya yang terus menjaga motivasi meski tim sedang tertinggal dalam seri perebutan gelar juara.

"Shout out to all my friends, my family, who are huge Spurs fans.

The people that stay locked in with me when we’re celebrating, when we’re struggling a little bit. Being down 0-2, and we’re upset yesterday, didn’t even go outside.

Shout out to everybody who keeps the energy up. Love my city," ujar Griffin.
