The Clippers have never been as good as the Lakers in Los Angeles. Why?

After all, Los Angeles is an international metropolis, adjacent to Hollywood, with all kinds of stars gathered, which naturally has a "proud" quality. In fact, it is normal for people in Los Angeles to like the Lakers. It can't be said that 100% of the citizens love the Lakers, and at least 70% of the citizens prefer the Lakers.

The reason why Los Angeles people like the Lakers is naturally inseparable from the glorious history of the Lakers (not to mention here for the time being), including the "help" of the Clippers. After 20 10 Lakers defended their title, to be honest, they began to decline, especially Kupchak's two vicious contracts (Ruhr Deng's contract still occupied the salary space), Kobe's injury, Howard's serious injury and Nash's injury ... all these gave the Clippers unlimited opportunities to rise in Los Angeles, but they didn't seize the opportunity, and even broke the racial discrimination of their former boss and were forced to sell the team.

Even after Ballmer took over the Clippers, he spent a lot of money to build a luxury lineup. Former FMVP player Leonard, All-Star forward George, and bench depth are all top-level in the league, but they missed the opportunity. In the western conference finals, even though it was 3-/kloc-0-,it was reversed and eliminated by the Nuggets. During the offseason, all kinds of news broke out, which made the team image discounted again.

Can such a team win the love of Los Angeles fans?

As one of the giants in NBA history, the Lakers have won the most championship trophies in NBA history (equal to Celtic), and they are definitely a real giant, which is remarkable in terms of team honor, team culture and the number of fans. The foundation was laid in the old bass era, and now Jenny Bass is back on track after taking over.

Besides, there are countless stars in the history of the Lakers, such as Abdel-Gabbar, Magic Johnson, O 'Neal, Kobe Bryant and so on. They are all contributors to the team's history. The cultural foundation of a team cannot be established in a few years. Perhaps in the eyes of Los Angeles residents, the Clippers are an outsider (Buss was the first to accept the Clippers, and now the Lakers and Clippers use the same arena). It is unlikely that the Clippers will overtake the Lakers in Los Angeles.
