Ok, its probably like being at an AA meeting. How many of us had the following experience? You stand up, clear your throat uncomfortably, and tell a group of people, "Hi, I am ____, and I am a Los Angeles Clippers fan. Unlike a support group, most of the people I tell this to look at me in bewilderment and incredulity. Things like, "yeah right", "how can you..." and "Lakers rule!" usually follow my statement. Well, Clipper fans are a special breed. We love the underdog, and I mean love them. We are the ultimate optomists, or we are pessimists that love to be right most of the time. We love the challenge of keeping up with new players every year. We are great judges of young talent and have tons of time watching young lottery picks either develop and move t
o another team or crash and burn in the first few years of a promising NBA career. We have masters degrees in sports medicine. We are amateur orthopedic surgeons. We love rehab and physical therapy. Our MVP is our team doctor and trainer. Anyone detecting a note of sarcasm? Well, we are thick skinned fans. We of Clipper Nation love our team. Tho few in number, we go out to games and passionately support our team in the red, white and blue. We relish in our few trips to the playoffs, or the years that we beat the Lakers head to head. We take joy in our infrequent All-Stars and dream of the day when we can hoist a banner or retire a jersey. We are Clipper Nation, a band of brotherhood (and sisterhood) that are some of the greatest sports fans in the world. We love our Clippers no matter what odds we face every year. Welcome to the Blog!
