Brook Lopez joins ‘different’ Clippers

Brook Lopez grew up in Southern California. He remembers the days when the Los Angeles Clippers were awful.

Those years are long gone — and Lopez is betting that even better years are ahead.

Lopez discussed his decision to join the Clippers on a two-year contract worth nearly $18 million on Monday at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, raving about how far the once-woebegone franchise has come. The Clippers have posted 14 consecutive winning seasons, the longest active streak in the NBA.

“It’s crazy to see, but it’s very cool,” Lopez told reporters. “Seeing the climb, the ascent, I’m a Cali boy. I grew up in the valley in North Hollywood. Obviously, things were very different back then. And to see where the Clippers have come now, it’s just astonishing. It’s beautiful. I’m glad to be a part of it. And hopefully, I can help take them even further up.”

Lopez was born in 1988 and over the first 25 years of his life the Clippers had the NBA’s worst overall record. In the 12 years since, they have the league’s second-best record behind only Golden State. They play in a palace of a new arena, Intuit Dome, have stars like James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, and a title-winning coach in Tyronn Lue.
