How Good Were The "Lob City" Clippers Actually?

[@DrDayG]

This was the team that brought me into a basketball in 2011. And now I know so much about NBA history. I know the team didn't end well, but thank you guys

The 7-game series against the Spurs in 2015 was one of the best series I've ever seen in the playoffs.

“Lob City" was such a spectacle with their high-flying dunks and electrifying plays. It’s a shame they didn’t become NBA champions. Injuries and playoff mishaps often got in the way. Still, their impact on the game and the memories they created are unforgettable. And hey, they proved that even without a ring, you can leave a lasting legacy.

And years later after the Lob City era, CP3 is still playing, having stints with the Rockets, Thunder Suns, Warriors, and currently with the Spurs while Griffin, Barnes, Crawford and Redick have retired with JJ currently being the Lakers Coach and Doc is with the Bucks. And let us not forget DeAndre Jordan got his ring with the Nuggets in 2023.

[@Gregoaklandmusic]

I’m a laker fan and love teams with good guards (rose, curry, lillard, d will on the jazz even jwall on the wizards). Growing up in LA I could never afford laker tickets but I could get clipper tickets. Many years later I realize my favorite team of all time to watch were the lob city clippers. They weren’t going to win anything and they kept getting injured during key moments but dude there were always so many good highlights. They were fun even before cp3 came but when he did that took them over the top. Hope to see a team like lob city again someday.
