Sport is universally defined by eras, and we as fans can use these eras to place ourselves in an exact place and time in our lives. Quite often, given the fickle nature of sport in the modern day, these eras are defined by coaches or a certain group of players.
Whenever I talk about my own Clippers fandom, I’m immediately taken back to the Lob City era which places me back in my university days. It was during those days that my curiosity for the sport of basketball had spilled over, turning me into a fully-fledged fan of the sport.
