The Clippers are attempting yet another franchise makeover. This time transforming into NBA Champions. With that change, Blake Griffin says “Lob City” is dead.
The thing about nicknames, the ones that stick aren’t the ones that you give to yourself. When Blake got the news that day that the Clippers had traded for Chris Paul and uttered, “It’s about to be Lob City,” the fans picked up on it and ran with that movement. I appreciate Blake knowing the team has to be about their business this year. But leave the fan stuff, to the fans.
