Who are the top five Clippers of all time?

[Real Deal]

List the top five, in order, 1-5.

 

If you need a little help: http://www.otrbasketball.com/clippers/roster.php

 

Keep in mind that the top ROSTER of all time is not the same as the top five best players of the franchise, so obviously, those rosters will be leaving out players that could very well be in the top five, but were slotted behind a better player at that position.

 

Just for kicks, explain your selections.

1. Bob McAdoo

 

He only stayed 4 1/2 seasons, but he led the league in scoring 3 times during that span. He's the best player ever to be associated with the franchise, even getting to the playoffs 3 times. Granted, this was with the Buffalo Braves, before the Clippers and Donald Sterling, but still he's atop of the list.

 

2. Elton Brand

 

He's their all-time leader in rebounds, second in blocks, and third in scoring. He won't make the HOF but he was a two-time all-star and even got the Clippers into the playoffs with a better record than the Lakers. The man should be anointed as a saint by the Clippers.

 

3. Randy Smith

 

He's the team's all-time leader in games played, points, assists, and steals. He made an all-star appearance for the Braves, winning AS Game MVP. Also went 7 seasons without missing a game for the Braves.

 

4. Danny Manning

 

One of their successful top picks. He made two AS Games with the Clippers and led the Clippers to two playoff appearances. He beat the Sterling odds. Still ranks in the top 10 in games, points, steals, and blocks.

 

5. Corey Maggette

 

He spent 8 years with the Clips, which is pretty much an accomplishment in itself. He ranks 4th in points and games played, 10th in rebounds and assists, and 7th in steals.

^ Couldn't have put it any better. And Bob McAdoo's my #1 too.

Whenever the Clippers make the playoffs, Blake Griffin would be #1. Till then, Bob McAdoo.
