The Clippers have had a reputation for being a historically unsuccessful franchise, but have experienced a resurgence in recent years. In 2011, the team was purchased by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and began a process of rebuilding both on and off the court.
The current Clippers roster includes star players such as Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Reggie Jackson. The team is coached by Tyronn Lue, who took over in 2020 after the firing of Doc Rivers.
In the 2021 NBA playoffs, the Clippers made it to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history, but lost to the Phoenix Suns in six games. Despite this disappointment, the team is widely considered to be one of the top contenders in the league and has high hopes for future success.
