The LA Clippers showed a tribute video for DeAndre Jordan of the Dallas Mavericks.

Our own Tomer Azarly was on hand and posted the tribute video below as well as Jordan's reaction to the standing ovation.

Jordan came back to Staples Center on Thursday when the Mavericks faced off with the Clippers. It's his first game with his former team since signing a one-year deal with the Mavericks over the summer.

Jordan was the 35th overall pick by the Clippers in the 2008 NBA Draft. In this 10 year stint, he developed into one of the most athletic big men that the league has ever seen. While donning the Clippers jersey, he won many accolades including an All-NBA First Team selection in 2016, All-NBA Third Team in 2015 and 2017, NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2015 and 2016.

More than the individual awards, Jordan was a key player in the franchise's playoff run over the last decade. He was the frontcourt partner of Blake Griffin, and together with Chris Paul, they turned the Clippers into Lob City.

So the tribute video was definitely a class-act by the Clippers. It's a clear indication that the organization values everything that Jordan has done for them. They may not have won a championship, but Jordan helped form a winning culture in the organization. And that's a contribution that will last a lifetime.
