ID that Clipper! 

Post#1 » by PlinkingPanda » Sat Mar 6, 2010 6:52 am

I'm procrastinating on an assignment and just decided to make a lame game. You pretty much try to identify a Clippers or former Clippers with a picture shown. Person who gets it can find an image of another former Clipper to keep it going if they wish(try not to make it obvious by using a game photo, perhaps something off court without a jersey number). Just something to keep the board active a little bit. I'll start with an old fan favourite...

Name that Clipper! :)

Keith Closs. I used to play pick up games with him in Baldwin park. He's 7'1" and I'm 5'6". Haha

I was going to say Keith Closs but I didn't see clippermitch say it so I was beat. I'm glad I recognized him
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

This one may be a bit more difficult. In the 2 seasons(2000 decade) he played with the Clippers, he started a total of 27 games. I don't want to give out the years these players played cause that kinda makes it too easy to research and find out. I just wanna give little hints and see if people actually recognize the player based on how they look. :D

For that Keith Closs one, you guys remember that crowd that beat him down?

I think the second guy is Tremaine Fowlkes. I remember he used to be pretty decent off the bench when I played with his character in NBA Live back in the day.

Indeed it is Tremaine Fowlkes. I use to like watching him play back in the day. :)

That Closs video sucks. Kinda stupid how they label it as him getting his ass kicked.. I don't think anyone can take on a mob of 6-7 guys at once. :roll:

He played for us in the late 80s and led the team in scoring for 3 years, including in his rookie season, out of 4 that he played for Clippers.

I hope y'all are kidding about that being Stephen A. Smith. :lol:

I think Stephen A. played a little college ball, but that's about it.

So please guess again guys. :wink:

Dang he looks really familiar... Kinda reminds me of John Amechi, but I'm pretty sure he didn't play for the Clips.

As for mk's picture I have no clue. It does look like Stephen A. Smith, but I'm fairly sure he didn't play professional basketball so I'm stumped.

I thought it would be a little easier.


He joined the team in early 1994 to play the second half of the 93-94 season, and he was with the team for the full 94-95.

Here are a couple huge hints...

Baby Jordan & The Mississippi Bullet

Play with the real names of those 2 players and you'll have his name.
