Sħãlïq™ Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Griffin and Paul don’t like the ‘Lob City’ name Ever since Chris Paul became a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, the name "Lob City" has been the top meme of the 2011-12 NBA season. The moniker promises visions of basketballular delight on the level of gumdrop forests and marshmallow clouds. What we've seen from the Clippers so far this season has been a work in progress, but the name persists nonetheless. Once an expectation forms, it's hard to get rid of it. The name started when Blake Griffin learned of the Paul trade, chest-bumped his teammate DeAndre Jordan, and exclaimed "Lob City!" However, Griffin now regrets saying the phrase in the first place. In fact, several Clippers seem to want to move out of Lob City entirely. From Arash Markazi for ESPNLosAngeles.com (via PBT): "It's unfortunate," Griffin said. "It's one of those things where we understand it, but that's not what we're about. Before the game we're not going out thinking, 'All right, its Lob City tonight.' We're just trying to win games and trying to get better."Read More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Sheed Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 To be honest, I never liked it that much either. Seems kinda cliche and childish for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
