Alright, let me walk you through how I went about digging up the 2013 Clippers roster the other day. It wasn’t anything too complicated, just felt like reminiscing a bit about that specific team, you know? The whole “Lob City” thing was pretty memorable.
So, first thing I did was just open up my computer. Pretty standard start, right? Fired up the old web browser.
My go-to move is just searching directly. I typed something simple into the search bar, probably “2013 clippers roster” or maybe “LA Clippers roster 2012-13 season”. I find adding the season years sometimes helps narrow it down better, since rosters change.
Hit enter, and waited for the results. Usually, you get a mix of stuff – sports statistics sites are always top of the list. Places like Basketball-Reference or maybe the official NBA site history section, though sometimes those can be harder to navigate for older stuff.
I clicked on one of the top results, likely Basketball-Reference because I find it pretty reliable for this kind of info. Skimmed through the page. It usually lays it out pretty clearly: player names, jersey numbers, maybe some basic stats for that season.
Finding the Actual Roster
So, scrolling through, the names started coming back to me. Here’s who I remember seeing listed for that squad, the main guys anyway:
- Chris Paul – CP3 running the show, obviously.
- Blake Griffin – Doing all those crazy dunks.
- DeAndre Jordan – Catching the lobs and blocking shots.
- Jamal Crawford – Sixth Man of the Year, instant offense off the bench.
- Caron Butler – Solid veteran presence.
- Matt Barnes – The tough guy, brought energy.
- Eric Bledsoe – Young guard, showed flashes.
- Chauncey Billups – Veteran leadership, though I think he was dealing with injuries around then.
- Lamar Odom – He was on that team too, remember?
- Guys like Willie Green, Ryan Hollins, Ronny Turiaf filled out the bench spots.
I double-checked against maybe one other source just to make sure the list felt complete and accurate for that specific season. Sometimes guys get traded mid-season, so you want the end-of-season roster usually, or at least be aware of the changes.
And that was pretty much it. Just a simple search process, clicking a reliable link, and scanning the list. It brought back some memories of watching that team play. They were definitely exciting, even if they didn’t quite get over the hump back then. Fun times watching those highlights though.
