My dad had partial Clipper season tickets (because Laker tickets are obscenely expensive and Clipper tickets were dirt cheap at the time) when these guys started playing. Before them, the team was a joke. The people who went to the games we’re just there to see whichever team the Clippers were playing against. There were like 12 actual Clipper fans and everybody would look at each other and go, “What kind of a weirdo wears a Clipper jersey?”.
But these guys changed everything. There was this incredible energy at the games. There were real fans. Little kids whose favorite player of all time was a Clipper. It was surreal. And so, so much fun.
