When reviewing the team's history, few players are eligible to have their jersey retired by the LA Clippers. Although there is no specific criterion, the player had to have achieved a certain status among the fan base, both statistically and through their household name.
Current Clipper Chris Paul is one of the names at the top of the list, as his journey with the team has been unforgettable. He led an up-and-coming roster in the peak of his prime, and though a championship was not brought to his name in the 'Lob City' era, Paul was the heart of the team each year.
