Lots of cool stuff in here.

The Clippers also hope to construct the NBA’s loudest arena. They plan to construct “The Wall,” which will be 51 uninterrupted rows of seats that can host 5,000 fans behind the opponent’s basket. The Clippers plan to have 60 suites that include 14 on court level and 46 located in a horseshoe formation on a single level above the lower bowl. And the Clippers will have 10 bungalows located along the sideline opposite the benches as well as four cabanas located directly behind the courtside baseline seats.
The arena will have 199 red game clocks to remind fans to return to their seats. Fans can pick up concession food without having to go through a check-out line. And with 1,500 touchless restroom fixtures, the Clippers estimated that a bathroom break won’t last longer than a timeout.

All the details about the new arena are neat, particularly how they took inspiration from football and college basketball, and how it's all designed to minimize the amount of time spent away from your seat. Really cool stuff.

I need that hoodie Kawhi is wearing. He debuted it at fashion week a few days ago.
Clip gang or don’t bang.
Leonard, George, Zu, Johnson, Boston, Preston, and Coffey I’ve seen so far.

I love the little shot at Staples Center by PG. when you thinking about it, Staples really is a hockey arena. You put a basketball court in the middle of an ice rink. The sightlines are perfectly angled for a hockey rink, not a basketball court. You could say that about other arenas that host both the NHL and NBA.

I think it looks more like a giant Fabergé Egg than an igloo, personally.

Does anyone know what the plan is for the current practice facility in Playa Vista after the team moves to Inglewood?

he actually started to enjoy winning rather than squeeze out every penny
but all those years he was the one owner outside the Magic Circle [NYK, Celts, Lakers] who consistently made a profit
