The Press-Enterprise LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin hasn't been a Los Angeles Clipper for 24 hours, and the No. 1 pick of the NBA draft already has committed his first rookie mistake.I mean, when the guy they're likely going to be building a marketing campaign around shows up on draft night wearing a purple shirt ... well, let's just say someone quickly pointed out to Griffin that wearing the color associated with the Lakers was a pretty glaring faux pas."It was accidental," he said Thursday night. "I didn't even think about it until right before the draft. Somebody brought it up to me and said the next time I wear purple it'll be a $5,000 fine. I'll make sure not to make that mistake again."If that's the worst that happens, his new team will be in good shape.
