The article chronicles the Clippers (possibly) cursed past from 1976-2009. Check out this excerpt:
Since 1976, the Clippers have drafted only one player who made an All-Star team as a Clipper: Danny Manning in 1993 and 1994. Think about that for a second. It's impossible. It's absolutely true. They made 38 first-round picks since 1980; you will be No. 39. They earned a top-10 pick 23 times since the '76 draft; of those 23 times, 12 were in the top four and three were No. 1 overall. They failed to turn the first 21 chances into a Hall of Famer, borderline Hall of Famer or perennial All-Star. The 22nd chance was Gordon; the 23rd chance is you. The odds are against both of you. Via Open Letter To Blake Griffin by Bill Simmons.
The sad truth. This is really an excellent piece of work by the Sports Guy so I'd suggest checking it out if you're into hoops. Its a long read, but its worth it.
