Leaving aside that what you said does not apply to Melo, you can probably look at guys who went to the East later in their career like Webber.

How does it not apply to Melo? Record of games he has played in:

I think "Did way worse" implies "Played Way Worse" which I don't think is necessarily true.

Me too. I don't think any actually Clippers fans want the team to play there. It would be cool if we went to Anaheim/Orange County or somewhere more inland, because that's where most of our fans are.

In all seriousness though, outside of the new Chase™ pavilion it's one of the least corporate arenas and the in-game experience is really good. It's a good stadium.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I'd downgrade that to ECF since beating realized-LeBron is harder than any roadblock to the Finals Iverson faced en route to the Finals.

My point was that Isaiah Thomas is having a better statistical season than AI ever had, and he is a lot shorter, which was in direct response to your self-described "hot take" that AI is the best short player ever. It was a relevant response. Did you want everyone to agree with you?
