If by “current” we mean “this season” then I most definitely have to choose DeAndre Jordan. While various Clippers are catching the injury bug, DeAndre is as healthy as ever and putting up record numbers in points and rebounds. He has an impressive list of accomplishments for a second round pick who can “only catch lobs”. Who doesn’t love a guy who can posterize somebody with a dunk at any given time?

My favorite current non-Clipper is the greatest basketball player in the world: The King, Lebron James. He is possibly the best all around NBA player of all time and I loved the Miami Heat’s big three with him, Wade, and Bosh. Also, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

The reason I am a Clippers’ fan is because of Blake Griffin’s dunk contest performance. Watching the NBA All Star weekend that year started my obsession with basketball and although I am not from LA, I am a Clippers fan.

Once healthy, I expect our team to make it past the second round for the first time in Clippers history. I cannot wait to have Chris Paul back on the court with the rest of our squad so that we can compete with a full roster.
