Twitter Roasted Doc Rivers’ ‘DeAndre Jordan Should Be First Clippers Player To Have His Jersey Retired’ Statement
The Clippers franchise has been around since 1970. While they’ve started out in Buffalo before making their move to the west to San Diego, they’ve been in Los Angeles since 1984 and haven’t left since.
Surprisingly though, the Clippers don’t have any numbers retired. Not one! Who could be the first one? They’ve had their fair share of stars in recent years with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. But when asked who his would pick to have his jersey retired, head coach Doc Rivers had an interesting response: DeAndre Jordan.
Doc Rivers said he hopes DeAndre Jordan is the first Clipper jersey retired.

While Jordan was with the franchise for 10 years, his career doesn’t necessarily scream ‘jersey retirement’. Twitter seems to agree and went to work:
It should be Tim Thomas https://t.co/SeTwkGcNCT
