“The Crossover” is a new Web series featuring Griffin, a forward on the Los Angeles Clippers, trying his hand at different sports and exploring all his training options in order to reach his goals.

“I want a long and healthy career,” Griffin said. “I want to be quicker, be stronger and I want to be a leader.”

In the debut episode of “The Crossover,” narrated by Griffin himself, Griffin practiced with handball legend Timothy “Timbo” Gonzalez at the West 4th Street Handball Courts in New York City. Gonzalez, famous for his hand-eye coordination and speed, said the NBA player is a quick learner.
