Since moving to the City of Angels in 1984, the Los Angeles Clippers have seriously lagged behind the Los Angeles Lakers in terms of popularity.
It’s no wonder why, as the Lakers have won a boatload of NBA championships, while the Clippers have reached the Western Conference Finals only once.
Until a decade ago, the Clippers had been a laughingstock, but the arrivals of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul changed that.
Now, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are looking to turn the Southland into a Clippers metropolis.
At least that’s what Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is hoping for.
Second part of SportsCenter interview with Steve Ballmer on what the Intuit Dome means for the Clippers in Los Angeles and eventually not having to share an arena with the Lakers: “I think it’s another statement that says, ‘Hey look, we're nobody’s little brother.’”
For years, decades even, the Clippers were the laughing stock of the NBA and the harmless little brother in Los Angeles to the Lakers. However, as the Lakers have continued mismanaging assets, the Clippers have established themselves among the league’s most stable franchises.
On this week’s episode of “Can U Dig It,” a podcast by the Silver Screen & Roll network, I am joined by Justin Russo of Clips Nation to talk about the two offseasons of the L.A.-based franchises and how drastically different they have been. While the Lakers are a team searching for an identity, the Clippers have an established one that has led them to a fairly uneventful offseason.
It’s a drastic change between the two franchises with the shoes previously having been on the other foot, but behind a terrific head coach like Ty Lue and a front office united behind him, the Clippers have become what the Lakers were during their title years.
