Clippers to Cover Lakers' Achievements for Home Games

giant posters of players Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick over the Lakers' 16 championship banners and 10 retired uniforms.

and Nick Young is butthurt

"He can do that?" Young said after Lakers practice Sunday, the team's first since returning from China. "For real? That's disrespectful. We got to talk to Doc. He can't have that. We got to do something about that."
"That's a lot of pull y'all are giving Doc," Young said, somewhat facetiously. "I think he shouldn't come in and have so much pull like that. He's got to earn his keep."
"But he didn't win no title in L.A. That's where it's at. Look at all these banners in here, you can't shadow those up."

Get 'em Doc!


oh god, its even better on LD2K's twitter https://twitter.com/LD2K/status/391389601283067904

Blasphemy!!! #YouDontCoverUpGreatness

#YouDontCoverUpTheTruthThatStandsOverYourHead

still doesn't out do the 16 championship banners that shine bright at every clippers home game.

I'm more perturbed as to why staples and AEG would let this happen when they own part of the Lakers smh

They think they'll be great. Ima laugh when they fail over and over

You can cover them, but you can't erase our @Lakers history. #Lakers

@LD2K fuck you. Fix 2k14.

Whoops on that last one

Who cares? Cover it up all you want Doc, you still have to come in to the HEATS house and see MJ's Wiz/Bulls jersey. WHAT NOW HUH?? WHUT!

[SoF'nAwesome]

Times are changing in LA. But I agree, it's a bit unfair. It wouldn't even be understandable if Pop did it.

This mofo is the real cracker.

If they are going to do that they should have done that the first time they moved to L.A... oh life goes on..

@LD2K fuck you. Fix 2k14.

Bold move, but I guess they're finally at a point where they have a team to be excited of for more than one year running. It'll be interesting to see if they hold true to that in games against the Lakers when they're the designated home team.

[stereoxide]

They can cover it now because they have enough power to do so. If they had done it 10 years ago they might have been driven out of LA. They also have a number of good players that can cover the banners. Imagine Michael Olowokandi blocking the Laker banners.

[Sauru]

who cares? they are clippers home games so if they want to erase everytime laker related for those games then let them. i dont really see the point myself but whatever

[NovU]

Exactly. As long as it complies to Staples Center lease agreement clause, what the fuck is the problem really? The Clippers are renting it for their own use and purpose, why would they want to help promoting the wrong team out of their own pocket? Disrespectful? Brainless zombie talk, lol.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Because it has become a tradition, I guess.

[Stress Fracture]

Typical Laker fans. They'll get used to it.

[koberulz]

I don't get why the banners even need to be up there unless the Lakers are playing. Complaining that they're being covered up is just absurd.

[Stress Fracture]

Even Magic Johnson agrees.

Laker Nation: Doc Rivers has a right to cover up the @Lakers 16 NBA Championship Banners.

Doc Rivers is just trying to create a winning culture with the Clipper organization.

Laker Nation: We all still know that those 16 banners are up there and it shouldn't bother us.

Just because Kobe is injured the Clippers think they can run the place. This will just motivate The GOAT more for his 6th ring.

True that. Derek Fisher will go for his sixth ring this year.
