Taken with the sixth pick of the talent-stacked 2003 draft, Chris Kaman was an outstanding servant for the Clippers. In his eight years in The City of Angels, Kaman personified loyalty, professionalism, and consistent performance.

An imposing and skilled defender, Kaman offered the Clippers a fulcrum inside, as he was capable of being a significant contributor on both ends of the floor. Kaman averaged career highs in points, rebounds and blocks during his time in L.A., as well as making the All-Star Game in 2010.

Kaman was another man moved to New Orleans as part of the Chris Paul trade that shaped the current look of the franchise.
