After the Los Angeles Clippers assembled their new bench after a host of offseason signings, it wasn’t long until the internet reacted. As a result of some photoshop creativity, an image soon surfaced on Twitter of the Clippers’ faces on the bodies of the “Suicide Squad”. If you somehow missed the trailer after its recent viral release, the premise of the upcoming film is that the world’s worst criminals are assembled into a team to defeat crime.
Essentially, they’re villains turned flawed heroes. And with L.A.’s new bench, featuring guys nearing their 40s and targets of countless criticism, it’s time for the Clippers to adopt a new mindset and become the Suicide Squad of the NBA.
