In one of the recent episodes of Bill Simmons’ podcast, sports and media personality Max Kellerman joined in on the latest NBA buzz, hottest takes, and most importantly for fans of the LA Clippers, facts and opinions on the past and present, including the importance of ball handling in the era of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
However, a fact about their time as a duo that still stands out is that the front office urged players other than the duo, capable of dribbling, to do the work from the top of the floor to the half-court. This was done to save George and Leonard’s stamina and give them ample time to hunt the isolation mismatch they craved.
