Paul George.

That Utah game 5 was his best and that response gave hope everybody for game 6, made Utah D to focus on him completely which made T.Mann wide open and WCF.

PG-OKC trade.
Gave away Norm for J. CoLLins, K.Porter Jr for M.Beaucump, franchise icon Lou will for washed up Rondo, Hartenstein to sign washed up J.Wall
Drafting gems in 1st rd like Kobe Brown, M.Kabengele, Keon Johnson, Yanick Konan

Great point- CP3 was incapable of doing the same in game 7 vs Utah in 2017 (lead the Clippers to victory without Griffin)

Depends on how you define it. If it's just about raw talent and production, then Kawhi is the best Clipper ever. If it's about importance to the franchise, then Blake is still the best Clipper ever (and probably always will be).

I still give it to Blake Griffin right now in terms of overall impact to franchise, but depends on criteria as MTV says. He'd still be and would have probably retired a Clipper if it was up to him.

I mean we could count up the win shares (either cumulative or best single Clipper season), but what's the fun in that?

But how about best 'ever currently'? LOL

I agree Paul George is the best current Clipper. It obviously could have been Kawhi, but he was watching from the boxes during many of the best moments of our best postseason run.

I'm assuming this is solely about what they did for the franchise, in which case, it's easily Bob McAdoo, followed by Blake, Brand, Paul, Manning. I need a third season before I can put in PG and Kawhi

Kawhi is the only correct answer here. Then I'd put CP3, then PG, then Blake.

Ryan Gomes 5th on my list.

Hah!

I still remember the game where he blew inbounding the ball to CP3 as he was crossing halfcourt. He got benched for the rest of the season if memory serves.

best clipper ever, is Eric Piatkowski. He wore our colors with pride when everybody else called being a clipper a prison sentence. I remember Polish Rifle rocking a vanity plate on his Mercedes convertible and going around town in style, always owning his Mr. Clipper status back then.

best current clipper by record of achievement should go to PG13 for taking us to the first conference finals.

once Kawhi takes us to the NBA finals, #2 will become #1 in ClipperNation.
ehhhhh f it.
