The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Monday, September 7, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
Blake Griffin
F · 2009–2023
Blake Griffin's career
Blake Griffin played 14 seasons between 2009 and 2023, across 4 franchises — Clippers, Pistons, Nets and Celtics. Over 765 regular-season games he averaged 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, finishing with 14,513 career points. He was 6× All-Star, 5× All-NBA and Rookie of the Year.
He entered the league in the 2009 draft, taken first overall, with everything that expectation carries. That makes him a product of the 2000s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a long career of 14 seasons he was a consistent starter at 19 points per game.

Why this was a fair answer
Answers are never obscure by design: the pool is every NBA All-Star who debuted in the 1969-70 season or later, plus current players carrying a real scoring role. Blake Griffin qualifies on the first route, with 6 All-Star selections — a perennial selection rather than a one-off.
With 4 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was a genuine filter rather than a giveaway. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
