The most overlooked Los Angeles Clippers of all time
By Aymin Bakr
The Los Angeles Clippers share a home with one of the most successful franchises in NBA history. The Clippers organization itself is often overlooked, so many great players have gone under the radar.
The Los Angeles Clippers were introduced to the NBA in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves and were fairly underwhelming, aside from a few extraordinary talents like Bob McAdoo and Adrian Dantley and their three consecutive playoff runs from 1973-76.
The franchise as a whole was not where it needed to be and was relocated to San Diego from 1978 up until 1984. For the third and final time, the Clippers would be introduced to a new hometown, Los Angeles.
As expected, the franchise has never been able to receive proper attention due to its competition with one of the best teams in NBA history. Sharing a home with Los Angeles Lakers teams that contained the likes of Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, the Clippers have not fared well throughout the years in terms of attention.
When an organization is often overlooked as a whole, it becomes way easier for some already underrated players to become flat-out unrecognized for their talents. Because the organization has been around since 1970, I obviously can’t include every single player that’s been overlooked in this list. However, here are four of the most overlooked players in Los Angeles Clippers history.
