LA Clippers have the chance to win multiple championships
Star power
Great players are what makes good teams great. If you take Allen Iverson off that 2001 Philadelphia 76ers Finals team then you wouldn’t have a championship-caliber team. Those LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers teams during his first tenure with them without him are not winning 60 games back to back years.
The Clippers have two superstars in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Leonard is eighth in points per game with 26.9 and George is 23rd in points per game with 21.0. Together they help the Clippers become the fourth team in points per game with 116.2.
