DEANDRE JORDAN IS THE GREATEST CENTER IN LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS HISTORY
Despite playing alongside Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan showed that he was one of the best dunkers in Clippers history by recording the most dunks in the 2010s. He was also one of the best rebounders, as he led the league in total rebounds in back-to-back seasons and he recorded the most rebounds in Clippers history. He also leads the Clippers in terms of blocks, proving that he is one of the best centers in Clippers history thanks to his longevity and consistent production on both ends of the floor.
Jordan’s rim protection and mere size always gave him an advantage against other Big Men, but he was also an extremely efficient offensive player. Jordan knew his role and played it to a ‘t’ during his Clippers days. Alongside Chris Paul, the Point God would constantly find DeAndre on lobs that would turn into NFT-worthy jams. Jordan’s willingness to sacrifice his own offensive game for the betterment of the team allowed him to record the highest FG% (67.3%) in team history as well, exemplifying his all-around impact.
