We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers.
CaliSports News discusses the force that has become DeAndre Jordan:
“DeAndre Jordan is slowly becoming one of the best centers in the NBA and yet no one is noticing it. From being chosen in the second round of 2008 NBA draft to finding his way into the Los Angeles Clippers’ starting lineup, Jordan is making his presence known.
Ever since entering the league in 2008, DeAndre Jordan has done nothing but improve. The 6’11 center out of Texas A&M University had many doubters coming out of college. There were questions about his defensive awareness, shot-blocking skills, and how hard he would play.
Boy, did he prove all of that wrong? In the 2014-2015 season, Jordan is second in blocks (78) and first in total rebounds (452). So much for that defensive awareness and shot-blocking ability question. Also, Jordan plays really hard on both ends of the court. Whether it be catching lobs, put-back dunks, or setting screens on offense, Jordan gives 100% effort every time he steps on the court. According to basketball-reference.com, 100 percent of his shots come from 2-point range and he makes 85% of his shots from 0-3 feet. This shows that Jordan will always be around the rim and inside the paint playing physical against any big man in the league. It sure doesn’t hurt that he is also being successful.”
