“After the game you have to do media and you have to sit at a press conference and answer questions,” he said.
Griffin added, “I think people always think athletes are like really stupid and it’s not that we’re stupid it’s that we’ve just exercised for two hours and there’s not really enough oxygen in our brains.”

In order to demonstrate, the Detroit Pistons player got Fallon to run in place for 15 seconds and then have a microphone shoved in his face and then pulled back away before he had a chance to answer a question.
