The Los Angeles Clippers head into the 2022-23 season as a popular pick to win it all.
Between the return of Kawhi Leonard and the depth the team possesses, they are extremely formidable on paper.
That being said – the Clippers have always struggled to win the hearts and minds of NBA fans. And this week was no exception.
A few days back, L.A.’s other team debuted their new uniforms:
Paul George and the LA Clippers unveil their 2022-23 Statement Edition jerseys and the Jordans to go with them.
Thoughts? 🤔

The reactions came in quickly and mercilessly. Folks absolutely did not hold back:

Yikes.
Uniform drama aside, this is going to be a big year for the Clippers. And everyone knows it. You can tell just from the way guys like Paul George are talking right now.
Leonard’s return, with him looking like the Incredible Hulk no less, means the excuses are done. This is a championship or bust campaign.
Saquon Barkley is playing at an MVP level on and off the field these days. https://t.co/7nfVbOK7jO

Can the Clippers finally deliver on the expectations that were set for them when Leonard and George first rolled into town a few years back?
Time will tell.
