LA Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard is known to have the deadliest mid-range jumpers in the NBA. In a recent interview, Leonard’s longtime trainer Clint Parks explained to ClutchPoints how he mastered the art of the mid-range jumper. “A mid-range jumper is a layup for Kawhi,” Parks said. “I could honestly say since when I first […]

It has been 10 years since the Los Angeles Lakers won back-to-back titles.

Although the Lakers were a dominant force during their three-year […]

The Golden State Warriors franchise was established in 1946 (then the Philadelphia Warriors), and it has had a long line of success through the decades. However, it is a known fact that this team’s most successful stint came during the mid-/late-2010’s as they won an unprecedented three titles in five seasons. It was also in […]

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was hoping to reclaim the rights to the famous ‘Klaw’ logo he helped design years ago. Unfortunately, he’s reportedly lost that battle against Nike.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers came out as the biggest winners out of last summer’s free agent frenzy. That was easily one of the most talent-packed free agent classes of recent memory, and by signing reigning Finals MVP in Kawhi Leonard, L.A. hit the jackpot. Lady Luck hasn’t always been this […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the few NBA organizations with zero championships in franchise history. The team became a professional squad in 1970 and has never even played in an NBA Finals. However, the Clippers have had some stellar coaches stroll the sidelines despite their overall record of 1,654-2,380. It’s just that those […]

The home crowd has long been considered as any team’s sixth man. There’s just something about playing in your own home floor, in front of your home fans that fuels players to perform at their best. Behind, or rather, around every home crowd is a home arena that figuratively and literally holds the supporters together. […]

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has played his role to perfection during the 2019-2020 season. Zubac has emerged as one of the Clipper’s better interior defenders and rebounders.

For the most part of its history, the Los Angeles Clippers have perennially found themselves as bottom dwellers in the NBA.

The 2019-20 Los Angeles Clippers are one of the best teams in the NBA and are on the short-list of legitimate title contenders this season.

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams says there shouldn’t be an asterisk on the 2020 NBA champions. However, Williams jokingly said that’s only the case if the Clippers win it all: Ros: "Would there be an asterisk next to that championship?" Lou: "Depends, if I win it it ain't." 😂 pic.twitter.com/9IpOQmVTGx — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams is a three-time Sixth Man of the Year award, so you would unlikely think of the veteran as a bad teammate.

Before being traded to the Lakers, however, Ariza says he wanted to be a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. The 16-year NBA veteran recently joined the ‘Knuckleheads’ podcast with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles to […]

At this point in time, perhaps the biggest void in the current Los Angeles Clippers team is a legitimate big man. 23-year-old Ivica Zubac, who stands 7 feet tall, is currently the team’s starting big man, and while he is not bad, he definitely represents the weakest link in the lineup. Coming off the bench […]

Today, April 15th, marks what would’ve been the final day of the NBA’s 2019-20 regular season. Unfortunately, the LA Clippers and many teams like them hoping to make a deep postseason run starting this weekend will have to wait until further notice from the league. April 15th also marks a historic day in the NBA. […]

Prior to the previous decade, the Los Angeles Clippers were always known as L.A.’s other team. They have long been ridiculed for their consistently poor season performances, and at one point, this team was even the laughing stock of the league. There’s no denying that it has been a long and hard road for the […]

The Los Angeles Clippers have zero championships in franchise history. They have made the postseason 14 times since 1970, but they don’t have any Conference Finals or NBA Finals appearances to show for it. The 2014-15 Clippers were supposed to be the team that would end those two droughts. Coached by Doc Rivers and led […]

Chris Paul is one of the greatest point guards to ever live. But after a disappointing end to his Houston Rockets tenure and last summer’s trade sending him to an unproven Oklahoma City Thunder squad, not many folks were expecting Paul to make his first All-Star team since 2016. Furthermore, he’s guided OKC (40-24) to […]

The Phoenix Suns are still seeking their first championship since joining the NBA in 1968, and haven’t made an appearance in the NBA Finals since 1993 — a five-game loss to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. And the team hasn’t even made the playoffs since the 2009-10 season. At the moment, though, the Suns […]

Despite having zero championships to boast, the Los Angeles Clippers have had some of the most explosive players star for the club throughout its history.

The Lob City version of the LA Clippers may be the best team in NBA history to never win an NBA Championship.

The coronavirus pandemic has put NBA action to a grinding halt. But for the Los Angeles Clippers’ Patrick Beverley, the quarantine has not prevented him from putting in the work.

Los Angeles Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard is known to have the deadliest mid-range jumper in the NBA.

Patrick Beverley’s knack for overcoming long odds over his NBA journey apparently translates to the video game arena. After the initial odds for the NBA 2K Players Tournament had Beverley as one of the longest shots to win the tourney — a no. 14 seed, due to his 78 overall rating in NBA 2K20 — […]

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry and Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Chris Paul chopped it up on IG live on Monday.

Up until recently, the Golden State Warriors did not have a very rich history.

Bev cruised to a […]
