LA Clippers cancel Chris Paul Bobblehead night
It was originally planned for February 2. https://hoopswire.com/clippers-bobblehead-nights-nba-news-analysis/
They appeared to cancelled it https://www.nba.com/clippers/singlegametickets
Really, why would they do this what happened
CP3 said something that cut too deep and someone in charge got their feelings hurt.
“should’ve planted those trees kawhi!”
Cut ‘em.
Yours Truly,
Uncle Dennis
CP3: “your coaching is ass, LeBron carried you to that 2016 ring Ty”
Facts.
Ty Lue has gotten the most out of the Clippers tbh. Other teams are just better.
Why are people acting like cp3 never got on people’s nerves before.
And he’s completely washed now so no one wants to deal with that shit
Because he’s improved every single team he’s ever been on. Maybe he’s abrasive but he’s certainly earned the benefit of the doubt
for real
CP3 was the only employee in the Clippers org that actually saw the value of winning basketball games and they were like “nah, we’re good”
Clippers gonna clip
CP3: “Guys cmon we have to find a way to win”
Org: “We not lose?”
CP3: “No, win”
Org: “So, not lose?”
CP3:”Win”
Org: “Un..lose?”
adult in the room showed up and Clippers throwing a tantrum in response
I agree with the consensus that this is a stupid move. He’s the greatest player in the franchise’s history, you gotta treat him better
But, right???? We all just pretending he’s not an asshole, dirty player, all that shit? Come on
Its amazing any other time this sub would be against cp3
This sub goes in waves, on him. I remember when he was just starting his journeyman phase, there were a bunch of people talking about how they hope he can win a ring to close out his career, etc, and I was like, “are we thinking of the same guy??” Fortunately that didn’t last long, the sub went fairly quicky back to remember he’s a dirty-ass player
It’s quite possible that he’ll be a coach in the league soon. Not sure why you think listening to one of the greatest basketball minds ever is having to “deal with that shit.”
If it gets on their nerves to hear the advice of a hall of famer who is widely known for having an all-time great basketball IQ, maybe they should ask themselves why they are so quick to tune that out. Because clearly whatever else they’ve been doing hasn’t been working.
A guy who gets on everyone’s nerves everywhere he goes isn’t going to last as a coach very long
He didn’t get on the nerves of OKC or Phoenix or San Antonio, as far as I’m aware. And he’s the greatest Clipper ever and one of the greatest in New Orleans.
Great coaches sometimes say things their players don’t want to hear. So do veteran leaders in general.
“Kawhi did it”
Ballmer hired Nico Harrison, didn’t he…
His fellow teammates got sick of his bitching. He didn’t offer nothing himself but criticism. Move on. They’re all professionals and have been there before.
They’re all professionals
are they though?
They accidentally sent all the bobbleheads to his house instead of the arena.
Supply chain. Clipper ships carrying CP3 bobble heads were sent back home.
fuckin Tarrifs
This definitely came from up top lol
Look, we’re all trying to find out who did this.
TURNS OUT LOB CITY WAS “FAKE NEWS” PROPAGANDA PERPETUATED BY THE WOKE NBA MEDIA! SAD!!
Brian Windhorst: “Why did the organization cancel the bobblehead night?”
Balmer: Quiet piggy!
Called a bum team they were bums
[deleted]
Your last 20 comments about CP3 and you’re in every comment section about him go touch some grass bro
He blocked me lol
This is generational mismanagement of a future hall of famers last year.
The Clippers storylines this year are a fucking whirlwind
they’re trying to use this as deflection for the aspiration stuff lol
as a fellow Nicolas Batum fan I’m also outraged.
Pablo Torre with the dagger
Eh it’s very fitting for Clippers history
Same with Cena
Lakers did a shitty job on Kobe’s last years too
huh? how so?
Lakers should’ve been competitive for Kobes final years instead of struggling to make the playoffs. Instead the front office consistently made terrible personnel and coaching decisions. Paying a physically washed Steve Nash all that money was probably the worst decision of them all. People can downvote but it’s facts that can be looked up.
congrats the kids in africa who will think that NBA Champion Chris Paul did a retirement tour with the LA Clippers after his successful run with the Suns
They’ll glue braids onto the CP3 bobbleheads.
Kawhris Paul
Straight to jail. as punishment, give the Lakers the keys to Intuit Dome
Believe it or not, straight to jail
They already have the keys. They’ve always had the keys. This clown fick of an organization could win 10 chips and they’d still be the la orphans. Anyone who is a clipper fan should be ashamed to even root for them.
Wow, what a trash organisation.
I mean, what do you want them to do
Give the bobblehead out?
I’d would be so much funnier if they kept the night, honored him and gave the bobblehead out despite releasing him
What if they do, they just change it to the team he’s playing for next
This man is not going to be picked up I fear
but r/nba tells me he’s essential!
I read somewhere that they didn’t actually cut him, and maybe can’t? So technically he’s still on the Clippers and therefore can’t sign with another team. Who knows if all that is true though…would make it pretty hard to sign with another team in that case lol.
They actually haven’t “released” him. They sent him home. He’s technically still on the team. He hasn’t been waived or bought out.
Ill be honest, I kind of want the unrealesed CP3 bobvlehead now. Will be a funky collectors item in a few years if any walk their way out of inventory
Yeah, he is one of the few iconic clippers ever.
He’s still their franchise GOAT.
Maybe it’d be too soon and in bad taste, given the current circumstances. But it’s not like they can (or should) deny his legacy with their team.
Attention Clippers. CP3 Bobblehead Night has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it.
By the end of camp you’ll all be a bunch of skinny winners!
James Harden: I wanna go home!
The Clippers discovered that the bobblehead can only disapprovingly shake his head side-to-side instead of nodding up and down.
Worst organization in the entire league, and I’m a Pelicans fan. Clippers need to be abolished. Send them to China so they can become the Qingdao Clippers
Wolves fans we’re not in these convos anymore
As long as yall have anthony Edwards won’t be
Longer, just having Edwards and competing even if for only part of his career puts them ahead of the Vivek’s Kings and the Hornets
Cmon now Qingdao don’t deserve that
Nah, man. Pelicans are terrible lol.
They’ve been in the 2nd biggest market in the NBA for 40 years and have only ever made one conference finals. That is generational mismanagement. I understand that Donald Sterling was a cheap (and racist) bastard, but never stumbling into any real success is crazy.
The crazy thing is, for those of us that remember the Donald stealing years, they are actually a better run organization than in the 90s and 2000s.
Just ask Olowokandi and Darius miles
They should’ve done it anyway to rub salt in the wound.
YES THIS IS ELITE HATING
Alright man that’s too far!
Fuck the clippers
Nooooooooooooo!!
Some kids in a third world country are about to get a Chris Paul Clipper’s bobblehead for Christmas, aren’t they?
We’re trying to find the guy who did this
they say there’s an island in the ocean made of bobbleheads of nba stars traded(or cut) mid-season
Do they send them to Africa?
Bobbleheads go to Asia
The NBA rly is daytime drama cause like why have I watched 0 basketball in the last few weeks and clicked on every Chris Paul and Giannis thread
The Clippers are such jesters
Collectors item
Thats crazy
And they lost to the poverty grizzlies. Serves them right.
New Orleans should pick him up for his retirement tour tho lol
They should at least reschedule it to be on whatever night he plays at Intuit Dome if he signs with another team. He is their best player in franchise history and it is his last season.
It’s simple they want to remain bald in their new arena. No retired jerseys or banners.
The real question is:
Are these bobbleheads already out there? Will I be able to buy a limited edition hater Chris Paul bobblehead on eBay?
S/o to those kids in Laos farm villages who are gonna LOVE these
It’s being replaced by celebrate OKC getting 1st pick night
Oh I like this timeline
This is insane man. What a falling out
So petty, CP3 may have hurt some feelings.
Sent them all to Atlanta
Some of these older players just quietly need to move on. Your time in the spotlight has long passed. Next up
Lol us timberwolves fan get another Ant bobblehead..sid bobblehead nights 🥲
So they couldn’t wait one year with CP it was that bad huh. Crazy
Relocate them back to San Diego.
Make the “intuit dome” into like an art display or something.
Waymo parking
You’d think they would be trying to get rid of them even more
Legend has it that the bobble heads are still in the rafters.
What are they going to do with all those bobbleheads?
Now they’ve gone too far. 🍿
Should’ve kept it and rebranded to a Rajon Rondo Bobblehead night
The guy that asked “what about bobble head night?” first…. lol
That is the fucking funniest shit ever
Trash organization front office
Paul is the antichrist now for the Clippers organization.
It’s hard to imagine how emotionally stunted you have to be to make this situation worse and worse and worse like the Clips have done here
did they cancel this at 3am as well?
No way! This is where I draw the line. Fire everyone!
I need to know what they’re going to do with the bobbleheads (assuming their production concluded)
Damn what really happened behind closed doors? The clippers really don’t fuck with him anymore
More reason for Silver to actually punish the Clippers and vetoed Kawhi contract.
This is so funny. NBA has the dumbest drama and I love it!
Well no fucking shit.. dropped the poor guy
Just going all in.
Where are they gonna ship them to? Another country?
Can we just shut this team down already and open a new team back in seattle, fuck this team
nba needed a new villain after Nico firing 😂
What a meltdown of a “franchise”
Chris should buy up the bobbleheads and have the jersey backs repainted with, “Fuck Ballmer”. Then sign and number them and sell them to Clippers fans.
Lmao so fucking petty.
Good luck attracting talent 🤡
Where’s Chris Paul (bobble head)?
Will I be able to pick one of these up at a Goodwill?
Lakers should just do it when they play the clips. One last LeFuckyou.. Or New Orleans, or Suns. Or Rockets.
This would be more funny if they didn’t.
why, what happened?
Why are they doing this?
LA Clippers cancel Chris Paul
Yikes! I get a feeling that he is insufferable
even the AI bots are learning Chris Paul is annoying
Lol, Im not a bot at all. He gives me Derek Fisher vibes, just annoying
