The Forgotten Brother

When the people speak about Los Angeles (as far as basketball is concerned) we always have Lakers team in mind. Chamberlain, Jabbar, Magic, Shaquille, Kobe have had great influence in this trend. It has happened even more in Spain and the rest of Europe since Pau Gasol signed with the gold and purple franchise. Batman, Joker, Spiderman and other celebrities in Hollywood drop by the Staples Center every evening. But it happens that these court changes into red and blue when the other team of the city has to play: the Clippers. The “forgotten brother” is one of the three teams that have never won a NBA title (championship, division or conference), but they are building a very interesting squad for the upcoming season. Outside presence with Baron Davis, one of the best point guards in the league (maybe the strongest one), and other players like Ricky Davis and Cuttino Mobley. Besides, inside power with the acquisition of Marcus Camby who averaged 9.1 ppg, 13,3 rpg, 3 apg and 3bpg the last season, plus Chris Kaman and the contribution of Al Thornton (who shows a lot of promise) and the experience of Tim Thomas. Jason Williams, Dan Dickau, Brian Skinner, Shaun Livingston are other members that will take part in this project.

Glamour and rivalry increase in LA, ¿will the audience and spectators of Clippers increase as well? Yes with me.
