Clippers broadcaster Ralph Lawler getting star on Hollywood Walk of Fame


Ralph Lawler always been a star among the Clippers faithful.

And, in 2016, that stardom is headed to Hollywood as Lawler, the team's longtime broadcaster, will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it was announced on Monday.

Lawler, who's being inducted under the radio category, joins the Class of 2016 with the likes of Kevin Hart, Quentin Tarantino, Bradley Cooper, Steve Carell, Kurt Russell, Tracy Morgan, Kathy Bates, LL Cool J, Bruno Mars and more.

Lawler, who will call his 37th season of Clippers basketball (a good part of them with Prime Ticket) in 2015-16, was also honored with 'Ralph Lawler Night' at Staples Center in early March.

Lawler joins Los Angeles TV/radio legends Chick Hearn (Lakers), Vin Scully (Dodgers) and Bob Miller (Kings) on the Walk of Fame.

Great news, Ralph really deserves this. I'm really happy for him and I'm glad he's getting his credit as a great broadcaster.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Been a long time coming. Ralph absolutely deserves to be up there with Chick Hearn, Bob Miller, and Vin Scully as LA royalty.

Not trying to get a rise lol. He's just boring. At least he isn't a moron like Michael Kay. Routine fly ball and Kay "THAT BALL IS HIT DEEEEEEEEP TO RIGHT" and the ball comes down 20 ft in front of the track
