Unfortunately, the LA Clippers still won’t be playing regular season games for a few more weeks.
Life without basketball is never a fun life, but our football team out here in LA looks great to start the year. The Los Angeles Rams are out to a 2-0 start with their new special quarterback in Matthew Stafford who’s been itching to play for a competent organization.
Stafford’s start has me thinking about Clippers who are going to have a bit of a breakout of their own, but football season in general has actually got me excited for basketball in a few ways. There are three Rams players who have qualities that I see in some of my favorite Clippers. I keep finding myself making comparisons, and just had to share some of them with you.
LA Clippers player Robert Woods reminds me of: Paul George
Arguably the best wide receiver on the Los Angeles Rams, Robert Woods is still slept on.
It feels like every offseason, people don’t think of ‘Bobby Trees’ as a legit number one option on a great team, and he goes out and proves the doubters wrong every time.
He reminds me of how no matter how Paul George actually plays, no-life trolls sit back and call PG ‘Pandemic P,’ instead of actually watching him play and pointing out all the great things he does on the court year-in and year-out.
PG13, like Woods, didn’t get the respect in the offseason that he deserved as he embarks in becoming a number one option for a championship contender again. Both players have strong histories in proving uneducated doubters wrong, however, and I know both of them will do just that again in their respective seasons.
