Since the Los Angeles Clippers moved here from San Diego in 1984, they have shared a “rivalry” with their championship-winning neighbors the Lakers that makes the relationship between Germany and Poland look equitable and balanced. Historically crippled by terrible signings, fan apathy, perpetually awful luck, and Ricky Davis , it seemed to most people as if the Clips were destined to be an eternal punchline.

#5: Like the food of the gods, there’s nothing quite like a grilled hot dog. Not only are they delicious, but they actually taste like summer. Oh man, and if you get some Grey Poupon up in that, forget it! But hopefully you’ve evolved from your 7-year-old self and graduated from ordering off of the kids menu so there’s really no socially acceptable time to slam a Hebrew National these days, with the exception of summer BBQs
