Last night on every sports show including ESPN, they didn't talk about how much what we gave up. It was all about Chris Paul lobbing alley oop passes to Blake Griffin. It was all about how we are now the team in LA. It was all about how all the stars in hollywood who used to sit courtside at Laker games, are lining up to get their courtside accomodation for Clipper games. ESPN even ran a poll about which team in LA was the best. We have stolen their thunder. ESPN declared that we now have the "IT" factor. The Clippers are now hip and cool. The fans will want to come.

Blake Griffin Nails a Half Court Shot While Sitting Down (Video)
Check out LA Clippers star forward Blake Griffin nailing a shot from a little past half court while sitting down. This video was caught during the early days of Clippers training camp.
