DeAndre Jordan will be remembered as a Lob City Clipper, but Denver will always be a second home to him.
It’s the city where he spent his second-longest tenancy as an NBA player, measured both by years (three) and games played (131, plus 13 in the playoffs). It’s where he finally won a championship in his 15th season. It’s where he’s sure to receive a nostalgic tribute video and warm standing ovation Wednesday night.
He’ll look up at it from the other sideline.
"Definitely some emotions for sure," Jordan said Wednesday morning after finishing up a pregame shootaround with the visiting Pelicans.
