Being a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers is an interesting experience. Sure, there’s the basic and accepted issue of having to watch a doomed franchise fail year after year after year after year after…you get the picture. And there’s the history of wasted lottery draft picks, Michael Olowokandi’s name being brought up over and over, followed closely by Danny Manning and injuries or maybe some jokes (before he returned with the ferocity of Charles Barkley bred with a winged lion) about Blake Griffin’s exploded knee. And, if you needed more fuel to power your depression, everyone knows the issues with our not-beloved owner Donald Sterling who spent years not paying anyone (fired coaches, scouts, what have you) while still making pure cash money and not giving a damn about the team.
