Couldn’t agree more with Ryan. Blake Griffin when all is said and done, will be the greatest Clippers player ever (Sorry Chris Paul). I have a much deeper loyalty to Griffin than any of the other guys on the team. We drafted him, we watched him grow, we loved him and we hated him, we supported him through his highs and lows and will continue to do so for as long as he wears the Clippers logo on his jersey.

  • This one wasn’t so easy for me. Russell Westbrook has long been my favourite non-Clipper. Devin Booker is quickly working his way up the list because he reminds me a lot of my childhood hero Kobe Bryant *Waits for hate and abuse to come flying through the air*

    • I’m from Scotland, so I don’t have a hometown NBA team to cheer for. The first basketball game I watched was Clippers vs Pistons in 2006, which LA actually lost, but there was something about the team that I couldn’t help but be drawn to. Elton Brand, a massive body with all the elegance and skill of a 6ft guard and Shaun Livingston as skinny as a toothpick but completely fearless attracted me. It hasn’t always been the easiest team to support, but every organization has its ups and downs.

    With everyone at full health, the sky’s the limit. This team has been without Chris Paul and/or Blake Griffin for 36 out of 52 total games. And when they have been on the court together this season, the team has a 20-8 record, despite Griffin having knee problems through at least half of that time. I still believe in this team.
