Chris Paul embracing new role on the Clippers means entering award race

With some of the greatest sixth men in NBA history, the LA Clippers are home to those who enjoy, or have no issue, coming off the bench. The notable finalists and winners in LA have been Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford, and they showed that age is meaningless for second-string production.

But, for them to attain the status of history's best, it took a strong sense of embracement. In fact, Williams preferred the bench, as he saw it as an advantage to use his signature left-sided mid-range jumper over weaker defenders.

Thus, Williams won the prestigious award three times, twice in back-to-back seasons.
