Brown who made a bold business move by trading away his stars, including MacAdoo, and swapped franchise ownership with Celtics’ owner Irv Levin in 1978. Owner Paul Snyder grew tired of the situation and sold the team to John Y. Scheduling home games proved to be a complicated task. The Braves shared their arena with the basketball team from Canisius College. The power forward/center with an almost unblockable turnaround jumpshot led the NBA in scoring each of these years and was named MVP in 1975.īut the turnaround did not last long. Things got better quickly as the Braves, coached by Jack Ramsay, enjoyed three consecutive playoffs campaigns, relying on the spectacular play of MacAdoo. In fact, MacAdoo was so frustrated by the losses that he later commented that his wife could have outrun his teammates. The team lost 60, 60 and 61 games in its first three seasons, despite welcoming North Carolina star Bob MacAdoo in 1972. The Buffalo Braves, in the state of New York, were one of the three expansion teams that started playing in 1970, along with the Portland Trailblazers and Cleveland Cavaliers. The story of the Clippers started very far away from California. Yet, the reputation has changed since 2010 and new owner Steve Ballmer has its eyes set on becoming a champion. Of course, the numbers are cruel and the Clippers have never won a championship in their history and have been regarded as one of the worst teams of all time. "Everything else is easy we just roll the ball out, and we get after it.Living in the shadow of the world-famous Los Angeles Lakers is a tough assignment. "I think we will go a long ways if everybody just knows their role and what we bring to the table," George said. George said he has complete confidence in his abilities and the roster built around him and Leonard. The Clippers are in the title conversation once again with their star duo back on the floor together. Los Angeles finished eighth in the West with a 42-40 record but failed to make it out of the play-in tournament. While George stepped up as the club's lead option, he also spent significant time on the sidelines. The following season was mired by Leonard's injury absence. The Clippers advanced to their first conference final in franchise history during the 2020-21 campaign despite losing Leonard to a torn ACL in the previous round. George and Leonard are entering their fourth year in Los Angeles. Like there's no ego when it comes to that."
"Everybody says, 'Kawhi (and) you are 1 and 1, (or) 1A, 1B.' I'll publicly say, I'm the 2. "I think I try to complement him with being able to take the load off of him. And I am totally fine with that," George told reporters Sunday after the Clippers' preseason loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. Paul George took the reins of the Los Angeles Clippers last season with Kawhi Leonard out for the entire campaign, but he's OK with taking a back seat now that the two-time Finals MVP is healthy.
