Lou Williams is synonymous with the culture of the LA Clippers. In the post-Lob City era, Williams took it upon himself to reinvent Clippers basketball. Along with Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley, he helped the team earn a reputation of muscle and grit. A group of second-round draftees, they had all been counted out, but together, they made something special.
Whether this band of misfits luckily overachieved or it was simply a fluke, their efforts led to the team signing Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George. The team is now in its best position ever to win a championship, and a lot of this fortune has to be attributed to Williams.
