NBA's Adam Silver: Blake Griffin's a Great Guy ... He'll Learn from This

Two pretty great parts of this video with NBA Commish Adam Silver.

First ... Silver goes to bat for Blake Griffin ... saying he's a "great guy" who knows he screwed up and is ready to accept the consequences.

Silver says the investigation into Griffin is still ongoing and he's hoping to gather more information -- but if you're Blake, this video probably makes you very happy.

Second ... SILVER SAYS HE'S TRYING TO GET DRAKE TO JOIN THE NBA ALL-STAR GAME HALFTIME SHOW!!!

For real.

We all love Sting ... but there was some head-scratching when he was announced, being that the game is in Toronto, Drake's hometown.

Fear not, it's Silver to the rescue again!!!
