The Clippers actually had something to look forward to from 2000-02, they had young talent (Brand, QRich, Miles, Odom, Maggette) and actually improved, narrowly missing playoffs. But then they blew that whole team up for nothing.
@@jacobsunday6561 potential isnt enough. its usually just better off going big then persisting with potential. you would rather be the raptors and win one then be the jazz and win nothing.
If the curse is to broken, it also has to be a perfect storm. The Clipper’s first conference finals berth required them being the first team in NBA history to come back from down 2-0 twice in back-to-back playoff rounds. Mavs and Jazz were each one game away from going up 3-0, a lead that no team has ever come back from in a playoff series. Even the Suns couldn’t take them down after going up 2-0, and were actually in danger of blowing a 3-1 lead. In fact, Chris Paul’s first ever Finals berth was simply because he drew the Clippers, where he was motivated to get revenge on after having failed him when he was a Clipper. They have a curse breaker in Tyronn Lue, who played a part in Cav’s first ever title by defeating a 73-9 Invincible Warriors via the first ever 3-1 Finals comeback (record was 0-32 all time prior to 2016 when Cleveland won theirs). Can you imagine if Clipper’s first ever title run included the first ever 3-0 comeback?
Honestly I think it’s less of a curse and More of a franchise that was ran badly historically. Dumb Trades. (Front office) Bad Signings (Front office) Bad picks. (Scouting) Injuries(Medical Staff)
@@arguseyed9982 Misdiagnoses exist. Just like Trading, Drafting Or signing Injury prone players. like BILL WALTON BLAKE GRIFFIN KAWHI. PG. Etc. Im not playing it all on the Staff but historically they’ve been the worst at all of the above.
Being a clippers fan is hard. I’ve only been a fan since like 2010/2011, and everything from then to now has been utterly disappointing and heart breaking to see. I’m only 20, so I can’t even imagine how much more it would suck to be a clipper fan before the 2010/2011 seasons. This past decade has been the best ball playing ever for this team, but even then, we have nothing to show for it. Barely one conference finals appearance and whole bunch of unfortunate injuries and choke moments. Just hoping that we can do better soon. This season looks promising cause this is probably the most balanced clippers team as of late. Gonna hope for the best lmao
As a Clipper fan I don't really think there is a curse. People understate how bad owenership was for such a long time. DS was a cheap and vile man and IMO, really didn't care about the team. I think if you judge the Clips it should be after Ballmer, only then did they start investing money in the team.
To say MPJ would've helped the clippers win over Phoenix is a moot point. There's no way he wouldn't have been included in the Paul George deal with Shai
Nah cause the clippers would’ve still drafted shai and instead of Robinson it would’ve been MPJ cause they had back to back picks with the 12th and 13th pick. And the 13th pick which was Robinson wasn’t included in that trade
Yes I want this to be a series, and I'm thankful I never chose to be a Clipper fan. As cursed as my favorite baseball team was, the Chicago Cubs, at least they won another title back in 2016 after going a century + 8 more years without one.
As a knicks fan i understand the suffering the clips fans have to endure. But its definitely worse for them since the Lakers are one of the greatest franchises in sports
@@tacomaliciouso lakesr essnentially have a built in win. even if there complete trash compared to most teams in the nba and are the bottom of the barrel they will always be better then the clippers. same with the nets. no matter how bad they are the knicks will always exist to help them.
@@DasFlippityFlop idk man. I’m kinda skeptical as a Mavs cuz we could’ve kept him for the right price but that was too much. He did show up in the playoffs but is this someone who could avr 25-30 a game? Maybe but he said that Luka was a ball hog and he wanted a big role and bigger bag
You could do this type of video on every franchise that hasn't won a NBA title... Haven't they won it all, because they're incompetent or are they cursed?
How about keep doing teams that haven't won anything? The Nuggets always face better opponents (mainly the Lakers). The Jazz (they're cursed for their best ever player being one of the most disgusting human beings in sports) and Suns (who have bad luck in winnable playoff series that can rival anyone) have top 5 winning percentages on your chart only to never finish the job. The Pacers? Bruh, they're in the state of basketball! How can they not win? Oh, right, massive underachieving, then wasting Reggie Miller's career, then ruining the consistent playoff play of Paul George, then suffering from Maple Leafs syndrome. A.K.A. failing to win a playoff series since their last conference finals appearance. The Grizzlies had windows and failed. The Timberwolves had a window and failed. The Hornets had windows and failed. The Pelicans? I'll spare them. Their team looks very promising right now. Every other mentionable team here at least won something.
Please run more videos like this Mike cuz when you covered the curse a few years back and went in def I really enjoyed it from the facts, failure’s, and having viewers thoroughly understand why the Clippers weren’t ever really successful as the Lakers 💯
I remember in NBA Live 06, for whatever reason, I was always really good with the Clippers, and specifically Corey Maggette… behind only Nash and Dirk, he was my best player. As for the curse, I genuinely believe it’s a collective subconscious inferiority complex. I mean, yes, we all know the Clippers organization has always suffered from an inferiority complex, a.k.a. little brother syndrome, in relation to the Lakers, which means they are eternally trying to catch up in order to be seen as equals. Constantly trying so hard to find success eventually becomes trying too hard, which then results in unforced errors like poor on-court performance, freak injuries and bad personnel decisions from drafting to trading to free agent signings to coaching to ownership. Everyone involved is consciously aware of both the ongoing history and narrative that surrounds the Clippers, along with the desire to actively change it, which creates the perpetual black cloud looming overhead-/-that impending and foreboding sense that no matter what you do, disaster will inevitably strike because they are the Clippers. Everyone is already perfectly conscious of this, But what I’m saying is that the LA Clippers and their reputation are such a well known and ubiquitous entity, it doesn’t actually matter what anyone says or does because the outcome Will always be the same. The LA Clippers as a team/organization have always been known as a joke -/- that’s how everyone learns about them, who they are and what they do. In contrast, everyone learns about the LA Lakers as a historically successful and star studded organization-/-that’s who they are, that’s what they do. They each have their own unique brand, and once that brand has been acknowledged by graders society, it’s almost impossible to change it. Those brands become… well, branded onto our subconscious, which is where you’re most honest thoughts, feelings and opinions about everything you’ve ever experienced reside. So, when anyone sees or hears anything about the LA Clippers, those subconscious “LA Clippers suck” neurons are the first thing to react, which then influences every other thought or action your body produces in response, actively or passively, consciously or subconsciously, and that includes all the players on the roster and everyone else across the entire organization. The best way for the Clippers to resolve this is to quite literally not be the Clippers anymore -- all association with that name needs to be erased. Luckily for them, they are owned by Steve Ballmer, legitimately the best thing that ever could have happened to that franchise. They need to both escape the Lakers shadow and the Clippers identity, and their new home arena is a fantastic start, but they need to go further. They already have a new owner and a new arena, but they should also have a new team name, new colors/uniforms, and if they didn’t already have their new building, I would say they need a new location as well. Ideally, I would return to San Diego… That would really enforce and complete the whole rebirth/circle of life narrative here, not to mention San Diego is just an amazing city regardless and should really have an NBA team already anyway.
Tbh I think the only way this curse is broken is if they got a series like the 2004 ALCS where they’re down 3-0 and come back 4 games straight against the Warriors. Or maybe the new arena could do something but knowing how LA is, maybe not likely. But hey they got to be thankful the Buss still own the Lakers
At this point I won't be surprised if the Clippers built their arena on some Native Americans' burial ground or something. How does one franchise take recurring Ls???
Yo the knicks disrespect is real 😆. There was no need to say the knicks won only 1 playoff series in 20 years 😆 as a knicks fan im going through alot right now
A list of what if suggestions What if Chris Paul skipped college and entered the 2003 nba draft aka the Lebron James draft? What if Dave Cowens played in the modern NBA and played for Boston Celtics in 2008? What if Steph Curry declared for the 2008 NBA Draft instead of doing one more year in college?
It’s a John wall that has played 40 games in 3 years. He doesn’t have the same athleticism and he is statistically a bad a shooter. He’s a good back up point guard that’s it.
The Clippers actually had something to look forward to from 2000-02, they had young talent (Brand, QRich, Miles, Odom, Maggette) and actually improved, narrowly missing playoffs. But then they blew that whole team up for nothing.
They would've never won a chip....ever
That team wasn't winning shit tf you talking
@@12savage68 you never know, they had the potential
They blow up every team they have, Brand and Lamar Odom, they even blew up lob city for nothing
@@jacobsunday6561 potential isnt enough. its usually just better off going big then persisting with potential. you would rather be the raptors and win one then be the jazz and win nothing.
Bob McAdoo was MVP whilst at Buffalo in 1974-75 season , still part of the Clips franchise
Facts And World B Free was a beast multi year scoring champion with the Clippers

Yes, I would like this kind of video with the Kings/Knicks.
The Pistons would be a good one too. They’ve got a nice core building up out there for next season
Honestly I think it’s less of a curse and More of a franchise that was ran badly historically.
Dumb Trades. (Front office)
Bad Signings (Front office)
Bad picks. (Scouting)
Injuries(Medical Staff)
Medical staff?
You blame the doctors when you get sick?

like
BILL WALTON
BLAKE GRIFFIN
KAWHI. PG. Etc.
Im not playing it all on the Staff but historically they’ve been the worst at all of the above.
@@arguseyed9982 sick? Usually no. Assessing injuries? Yup, just ask Isaiah Thomas (the one from Boston) what trusting a medical staff can do to you
Ok but if ur gonna say every injury is on the medical staff, u may want to get checked out
Bullshit, if Kyrie or Kobe got drafted to Clips they getting injured and become what if stories

Nah. Not nothing. /
Same bro , been a clippers fan since we were Lob city
We gotta stick together!
literally also a 20 year old and fan since 2009, just heartbreak after heartbreak every damn year

I think if you judge the Clips it should be after Ballmer, only then did they start investing money in the team.
The only team that's cursed is the Timberwolves
Minus the injuries, Ballmer is definitely more about winning than that other owner EVER was.
To say MPJ would've helped the clippers win over Phoenix is a moot point. There's no way he wouldn't have been included in the Paul George deal with Shai
Nah cause the clippers would’ve still drafted shai and instead of Robinson it would’ve been MPJ cause they had back to back picks with the 12th and 13th pick. And the 13th pick which was Robinson wasn’t included in that trade
Ryan Villasenor they didn’t want Robinson because he wasn’t that good. If mpj was on the team & playing he would’ve been involved in the trade
Yes I want this to be a series, and I'm thankful I never chose to be a Clipper fan. As cursed as my favorite baseball team was, the Chicago Cubs, at least they won another title back in 2016 after going a century + 8 more years without one.
I would like to see this series continue! And more importantly, please do one on the Minnesota Timberwolves!!
Hopefully John wall can stay healthy, that could be the difference maker
😂😂😂😂 negative
As a knicks fan i understand the suffering the clips fans have to endure. But its definitely worse for them since the Lakers are one of the greatest franchises in sports
lakers franchise have better percentage record of going to the finals than clippers franchise's winning percentage record... im ded
How do you like Brunson getting 27 million a year? I think it’ll age poorly

The Clippers did make _1 good pick_ who was the #1 - Blake Griffin. But to miss on all the other ones (most recently MPJ), that one stung
Thanks for the upload Mike appreciate you
You could do this type of video on every franchise that hasn't won a NBA title... Haven't they won it all, because they're incompetent or are they cursed?
Clippers & Boston are my favourites for next year
same
Boston aren’t even getting past the Bucks next year like they wouldn’t have this year if not for injuries.
Keep the series going! It’s intriguing to be honest!
Your editing is very good mike. Keep making this kind of content. I really enjoy it.
Darius miles and q rich was two of my favorites to watch when i was a kid always played with that swag 💯🤘💪

There's a curse on the Thunder too.
KORZEMBONER!! Luv u dawg!

Clips kinda lookin deadly tbh
We’ve been deadly
Definitely make the series!
Wizards pretty cursed ngl

Yo Mike I love your vids can you talk about the pistons upward trajectory?
At this point I won't be surprised if the Clippers built their arena on some Native Americans' burial ground or something. How does one franchise take recurring Ls???
Tbh its injuries that has cost them alot
Do the SuperSonics/Thunder
Yea definitely make this a series
Hot Take: The year Covid hit Clips would’ve made finals or at least semi-finals
Awesome series. Please, keep making these.
Please continue with that series.
Yo the knicks disrespect is real 😆. There was no need to say the knicks won only 1 playoff series in 20 years 😆 as a knicks fan im going through alot right now
I love to see more of these kind of videos keep it up
I want to see you continue this as a series.
Continue With This Series
Clippers are deadly team with their bench and heathy Kawi Lenard and PG
Continue the series with the Jazz, and other teams like the bucks 50 year drought
we need the series my guy
Yeah it’s crazy…almost like players get injured while playing basketball or something
Sac Fan/ Native here. We’re not cursed we do it to ourselves😂
Kings winning the championship this season
As a Lakers fan who hates the Clippers I found this very enjoyable 😂😂😂
Vid gas af bro make more
My 1st Team “All RUclipsr NBA channels”
(No order & also IMO)
-Mike Korzemba
-Jmxyhighroller
-Chris smoove
-Andy Hoops
-CliqueProductions
LOW & Dom in there over Chris & Clique.
Who’s mvp 👀
If this is a series you definitely have to talk about the Pacers and the curse that ensued after malice at the palace
Nyk
Magic
Wizards
Kings
“Los Angles Clippers are the most cursed team in the nbal
Indiana Pacers: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Ownership was trash for years. I'm from LA and I'm a Lakers fan since 1987. The clippers are cursed.
I definitely want to see the Kings and Knicks on this series
Goddamn Mike back of the mic just a hair
Yessss continue with the cursed series Mike. Great idea!
Do a video on the Indiana Pacers
Yea we want more of this
Almost every season the Clippers are over hyped
Yes mike i’d like to see more of this!
Now the Clippers got John Wall, now the question is if he stays healthy all season long 🤔
They are the NBA's version of the Detroit Lions in terms of being snake-bitten. IYKYK
1:40 no because MPJ would’ve likely been used in the trade package for Paul George
A list of what if suggestions
What if Chris Paul skipped college and entered the 2003 nba draft aka the Lebron James draft?
What if Dave Cowens played in the modern NBA and played for Boston Celtics in 2008?
What if Steph Curry declared for the 2008 NBA Draft instead of doing one more year in college?
Coors brewing co hasnt hit you with a cease and desist yet?
how come the New York Yankees are successful not the New York Knicks?
Clippers winning it all with wall at PG!
No
After the first few games Wall is out for the season 💀
They gotta stay healthy first, and even if they're healthy I don't think they can win it all
Nope
It’s a John wall that has played 40 games in 3 years. He doesn’t have the same athleticism and he is statistically a bad a shooter. He’s a good back up point guard that’s it.
Keep going
Seriously... The Blazers. Just wow.
No they will not
Definitely have to do one on the Kings
Yes this is awesome please continue
I think when Kawhi comes back they could actually make the Finals
What about the hornets? They are the worst franchise historically and least decorated
Make more vids like this 🔥
Pls continue
I have never used seat geek before I should try it out
Can't wait to watch this when the clippers win 2022-2023 NBA Finals
Lol
what if series please!!! the kevin garnett one 😬
Orlando would warrant a video-rebuilding from a rebuild.
Everyone: KD trade, Kyrie trade, Gobert trade, supermax contracts...
Korzemba: Clippers curse....😅
As a Clippers fan since 2010, I really hope we can finally get over the hump and win an NBA championship.
Lol
Won’t happen they are cursed for good any player that plays on that team something bad happens
MPJ wouldve probably gone to OKC if he was drafted by the Clips in the PG trade
I have doubt that the curse will happen again. However, they have reached the Conference Finals so nothing is impossible.
You would need to resurrect the dream team and put them on the Clippers to even have a chance of breaking the curse at this point
They were 2 games away from the finals without their best player…
I want to see you go in on the kings and the jazz.
Talk about golden State warriors vs Memphis grizzlies in 2016 and 2017 season
Remember when around 2013 when you had jordan Paul griffin and la fans started preferring clips over lakers
As a long time clipper fan, This hurt but made me realise we got it this year ;). Also, MPJ probably would have been shipped in the PG trade.
Something will always happen
At least they made The Conference Finals
The Answer is yes : )
If I was John wall I would be shitting bricks
Wooo congratulations Mike, with your fiancé 👏👏
Do an episode on the kings
Am I trippin or did you talk about mpj like he's a clipper?
