The Los Angeles Clippers have had some great big men over the course of their franchiseâs history, but how do they rank against one another and whoâs the best?
The Los Angeles Clippers are far from being one of the NBAâs greatest franchises. Until Chris Paul and Blake Griffin arrived to carry them to contention, the Clippers have been one of the worst. From their days as the Braves in Buffalo to their move to L.A., the Clippers had seven measly trips to the playoffs in the 41 years before Paul arrived. They were that bad. However, they havenât been without talent, especially when it comes to some of their great big men.
Of course, the high-flying duo of Griffin and DeAndre Jordan spring to mind as the pair combining with Paul to make the Clippers one of the best teams in the NBA right now. Theyâve been a dominant pairing for some time, and as they enter their primes, they still have so much left to give the franchise.
There are others, though. Dating back to the days of the Braves in the 1970s, the San Diego Clippers in the late â70s and early â80s, right until the 2016 Los Angeles Clippers, there are plenty of notable names to compare and rank.
Probably more so than any other position, the Clippersâ power forwards and centers make up many of their team legends.
So, letâs get straight to it and work our way to the top.
