The Kawhi Leonard-Paul George Experiment Was a Failure 

Man, this guy really sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I bet he'd never do something as stupid as buying a Paul George Clippers jersey. That would be so stupid

This narration has just the right amount of spite in it, you know this guy's a Clippers fan 😂

*No first round picks until 2030* sounds more like a sentence from a judge than a team development strategy. 😂

Fact: Kawhi has won more playoff series with his 1 year with the Raptors than this 5 years with the Clippers. Raptors: 4 Clippers: 3

LOL he called the Sixers the clippers of the East

This was a work of art. No notes.

This will go down as one of the biggest failures in NBA history. The fact the clippers gave away SGA, 5 first round picks, and two first rounder swaps just to get PG just makes them look worse. The have no first round picks until 2030 and are stuck with Kawhi and Harden. The Clippers can’t get out of their own way.

Kawhi George and Paul Leonard

The fact that clippers still wants kawhi is just laughable now. They know he's gonna be at the bench again with the rest of the team playing without him.

The Clippers duo played the exact same position/playstyle, lacked chemistry, both guys are made of glass, and the team mortgaged all their assets & future for next decade just to pair them together. And people still wonder how they could possibly have failed.

Lob city era is even better than Kawhi-PG era

My man picked the Clippers on purpose...LMFAO... PS. the Tatum and Brown tandem are everything Paul George and Kahwi were supposed to be,

👏🏾 Very well put together video on the Clippers! 🍿🎥🎬

I like this video. My favorite part of this video is labeling the sixers as clippers of the east. 😂 Hilarious but true.

So sad When this trade happened I expected 5 years down the line these guys would have had atleast 2 chips together

less of a failure and more of an accident failure only in the sense they gambled on injury-prone players

Today I found out Clayton Crowley is a Clippers fan

Is that clayton crowley i hear?? The best story teller in youtube??

5:09 “If blowing a playoff series were a five course meal he would be Gordon Ramsay” LMAO love you Clayton, that was a crazy bar about playoff Harden.

"Promising potential franchise cornerstone" I think overstates Shai after year 1. He had a good rookie year, but definitely took a big jump between years 1 and 2. Great video though, loved the reshowing of "The Shot" by Kawhi against the 76ers.

I dont know who this is but this was a gem to watch and listen to. Kudos to you if you read this

Kawhi injuries is the reasons they play great together as a team but when kawhi was needed injury 😞

Damn, Clayton going to bleacher report is amazing

it feels illegal to be this early

This video felt inevitable the day that PG hit the side of that backboard

No knock on the Bucks/Suns because that was a great finals. But should have been Nets/Clippers in 2021. Both teams were dominating when playoff time came around. But just got injured. Especially that one play by Joe Ingles injuring Kawhi 🚮 that’s where 💩 went south

As a Clipper fan for over +20 year this video was put together very well. The pain and suffering this franchise has gone thru has eventually made me become numb to all the Ls and disappointment.

This is what a true fan sounds like - hopelessly devoted, despite all signs pointing elsewhere. I hear you. Even when it hurts, you still root for them. Great video mate.

tbf russ was being used as a spot-up shooter when he's never been a good 3pt shooter in the first place. he is a POINT GUARD and they used him like fucking pj tucker lmaooo

Clayton bringing class and insight to BR again.

Very well done, the truth doesn’t always hurt.

Kawhi & PG failed because Kawhi was always injured and they didn’t put the right pieces around them. They didn’t need Harden & Westbrook on the team, they needed a rim protecting big. Somebody like Robert Williams would have been solid. Both Kawhi & PG are getting slower too because both guys use to have the defensive capability of a Jaylen Brown. Luka couldn’t be stopped by the Clippers but Brown by himself made Luka struggle bringing the ball up court.

5:55 Harden gets his fingers stepped on

Bleacher report cool it I’m a clipper fan 😥

This new era since that crazy 2019 offseason has proven that building through the Draft is the best option to win a championship (Bucks, Nuggets, Celtics). With that said, I'm pulling for the Timberwolves.

He did all of this with a level of deadpan, and powerful words of connotation.....😂 This is gold right here Signed, A REALISTIC Laker fan

Sad part is the clippers could be the thunder right now if they just didn't go for kawhi lol

As a Lakers fan, I love this. Fantastic work 😂

Kawhi. Literally all Kawhi’s fault. No way around it. Kawhi got everything he wanted from the Clippers until ownership lost faith in him.

Coming from a clippers fan ALL FACTS no bs

Keep getting them checks!!! - Jalen Rose

Congrats Clayton!

As Orlando Magic, welcome to feeling helpless seeing your team suck 😅

Injuries are apart of basketball and no one can be blamed for them. Failure is not accurate. Unsuccessful fits better.

They are both SF, two all star playing same position together is not gonna work, don’t do that again. You see all the championship winners, all the players played in their most comfortable position, especially starting five.

There was a moment in this video I had to just pause and stop listening. "So LA gave up their draft future for the rest of this decade and traded away the best young prospect in the league aside from Wemby and Edwards." Does the name Luka fucking Doncic ring a bell? You know, the guy who gave Kawhi and PG fits for three years in the playoffs before knocking them out for good this year?

I've been saying it since the collapse in the bubble

They was tryna the 2 wing plan like Boston but the difference is Tatum and brown are iron men. They don’t get hurt and barely miss time so they got chemistry.

Shout out to you your intro is the best😂

Bro found a way to diss Sixers too 😂

All honesty injuries hurt the LA Clippers a lot. Real recognize real if Kawhi Leonard was fully healthy with no injuries for those 5 years as well PG, Clippers will have a ring. Trading 3 key good role players and benching, Bones Hyland for James Harden is the dumbest decision the clippers management ever made and done.

Injuries…can’t believe Shaun Livingston had the career he did

Clayton Crowley gonna put B/R on his back, can’t wait to see more content from him on this channel🫡🫡🫡

I’ve had shoes longer than you’ve watched basketball.😂

Everyone knew it would

The funniest thing about the whole thing is they resigned kawhi when PG was there more for them. Personally I would have signed PG and let kawhi walk. Now im not saying to build around PG but at least he’s been more active with less injuries than kawhi

PG seems like such a quiet man looking at him play but he's on radio talk shows everyday seemingly because he just enjoys it so much, that's an interesting contrast

my man j kyle mann is on BR now

When he finished the intro, I just felt.......ohhh, you poor soul😢🤧

Leonard has spent more time being injured than healthy… he is a great player, but is in the Bill Walton level of greatness, lead team to two titles, but injuries limited him… also the Clippers might be cursed and Balmer should have just asked to move them to Seattle to become the Sonics

I been said this.....the Clippers literally build 2 solid dynasties & did nothing wit both.....Lob City & the PG&Kawhi era

Injury and laziness at this point of their career.

They was healthy for only 1 season together

Every single team would’ve made the same trade for Kawhi AND PG. hindsight is 20/20

one last ride clips . Surely they will rebuild next year if they failed to get the chips this year

2:40 Luka Doncic is younger than SGA

I love how everyone that went crazy when they got kawhi and pg, crowing them champs for the next few years, now back pedaling .🤣🤣🤣

I don't which hurts more for Clippers fans, making the playoffs and getting close or losing all season.

So dumb not to pay PG honestly

If we’re being honest, Harden was basically playing by himself in the last two games of that Mavs series. The role players were doing nothing, and Paul George was bricking everything. That team was built around Kawhi and without him it all fell apart as it did his entire time with the clippers. Everyone knows harden isn’t consistent through a 7 games series, a 35 year old Harden was never supposed to lead them to the finals, he was supposed to be a playmaker and his scoring was supposed to be a 3rd option. If they had Kawhi’s defense and even like 20ppg from him throughout the series, I think clippers win in 7. Nobody talks about how bad Westbrook was in the playoffs for the clippers either because of his new bandwagon of fans that started defending him just to oppose the lakers/lebron, despite how “hard he tries” he had more turnovers than assists.

10 years ago? from your voice, u got into this shit late in life

Carmelo didn't have no help that's why I dislike Paul George played with lots if HOF's and still can't make an impact smh

Got the basketball bug and had to pick a team LOL

very sad story..

Lob City Failed. PG13-Kawhi Duo Failed.

At least they have a new arena 🤣

Paul George knew he gonna get out of Clippers, so they just decided to stink again in Game 6 vs Mavs together with Harden who, you all know, dissapears in Playoff time. They just wanted to rest their bodies. Who’s fault? Ty Lue of course. Guy does not know his players strength and how to utilize it.

What Jayson and Jaylen are is what they were supposed to be!!! Best players were two way small forwards

I always wonder how it would be if they didnt trade for pg and still got kawhi

You can't just drop unexpected clips of spiders like that!

The Buffalo Braves became the Boston Celtics, the OG Boston Celtics became the San Diego Clippers. They traded everyone including coaches, staff, etc. then kept the history for some reason. So technically speaking, the Clippers FRANCHISE already has 13 championships.

Passing on Vince Carter was wild

when people bring up the SGA trade they never mention that when PG was traded, he had JUST finished 3rd in the MVP voting, Im not a Clippers fan AT ALL, but there need to be some context added to this "lopsided trade narrative" , was it a lot to give up to get PG yes, but it didn't look too bad at the time though, not to mention SGA also missed ALOT of time with Okc, and it took him 5 seasons to get to where he is now, literally half a decade and Okc were a bad team for most of that time and also were taking for couple seasons.

I agree it’s the worst decision-making team in the history of the NBA. But this year failure squarely was Because Kawai was always hurt simply as that not enough time on court hurt at critical times. And in my opinion Paul George carried the team for years and yeah, he played badly towards the end, but he was doing all the work for a whole season. Michael Jordan couldn’t do it alone.

Everyone would have taken michael olowakandi number 1 that year ..he put up olajuwaun type college numbers....this guy is a fake fan and knows nothing

Well said, guys getting paid a lot of money are those who unperformed when needed.

Bleacher report going in on the Clippers 😂

Did you really say "I wanted a team that was good, but not too good" and then went on to pick the Clippers as your team?

He gotta be 22 years old lol and just googled all this

Load management

There's a simple explanation to why Kawhi and PG failed. Clippers gonna Clip.

Why the Clippers fail. Doc River, PG and Kawhi

I can't blame the Clippers for their choices regarding the PG trade and the Kawhi signing. They were desperate to be relevant, otherwise they will end up without a fan base. It's hard not having a home floor and your home town audience is Lakers fans. They had to go all in.

dont need to watch……INJURIES…..plain and simple

Curse of the Buffalo Braves.

Lol this man said 10 years ago lol😅😂

Because they couldn't stay on the court. It doesn't matter how good you are if you ain't durable.

To each their own, but I don't understand how you just pick a team. I didn't have a choice in the matter, I've been a bucks fan as long as I can remember. I don't know how I would just choose a team, I was born into this shit hahaha

Uh, no shit. As is anything that doesn’t net a ring, so too will be him joining the sixers.

10 yrs ago? Damn I feel old lol
