Over the past few years, Los Angeles Clippers have taken major steps in order to get out from their rivals, the Lakers’ shadow. While their performances on the court have massively improved in the last decade, their off-court presence has also increased substantially. The Clippers officially revealed their new arena located in Inglewood a week back. Star forward Paul George recently shared his thoughts on the new arena. The Clippers star’s excitement at the prospect of playing in the new arena was palpable.

On his show, ‘Podcast P with Paul George” the 6’8 forward sat down with his co-hosts to talk about basketball and more. George commended Clippers‘ owner, Steve Ballmer, for making sure the franchise had a state-of-the-art arena. The billionaire owner has improved the franchise’s fortunes ever since purchasing the team in 2014.
