The Curse: The Colorful & Chaotic History of the LA Clippers

The Curse: The Colorful & Chaotic History of the LA Clippers

From Bill Walton's feet to DeAndre Jordan's free throws, something always seems to go wrong for the LA Clippers.

Beginning with the highly unusual birth of the franchise, the Clippers' legacy has always carried with it the haunting suspicion that the team is cursed. Author Mick Minas goes behind the scenes-- interviewing players, coaches, and front office personnel--to create the first in-depth look at the history of the Clippers.

The Curse is filled with drama: the unauthorized relocation of the franchise that led to the NBA filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Clippers, the disruption of the team's first playoff appearance by the Los Angeles riots, the bold but unsuccessful attempt to sign Kobe Bryant at the peak of his career, and the scandal that ultimately resulted in owner Donald Sterling being banned from the NBA for life.

Featuring some of basketball's biggest names, including World B. Free, Elgin Baylor, Danny Manning, Doc Rivers, Larry Brown, Dominique Wilkins, Elton Brand, Baron Davis, Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul, The Curse delves into the disasters of the past and the complications of the present.

This is the definitive history of the NBA's most dysfunctional franchise.
