Los Angeles Clippers Brief History
The Clippers were founded in 1970, with a different name: The Buffalo Braves, and they were created as an NBA expansion team.
As the Braves, and led by MVP Bob McAdoo, the team enjoyed some success during its early time in the league.
But soon enough the team got involved in trouble related to their home court, and that led the franchise to relocate to San Diego, California.
Then, in 1978, the team became the San Diego Clippers, and in 1984, they officially became the Los Angeles Clippers.
