Blake Griffin plans to give the trophy he won in Saturday night's Slam Dunk contest to the family of high school teammate Wilson Holloway, who died Wednesday after a long battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"I wanted to do this, not just for myself but for him," Griffin said. "I think I'm actually going to give this [trophy] to his family. That's why I really wanted to win."

Griffin learned of Holloway's death Wednesday night after the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves.

He plans to fly straight to Oklahoma City after Sunday's All-Star Game to attend Holloway's funeral on Monday.

"It's kind of a good thing that I've been so busy," he said. "It doesn't leave you time to think about it."
