It is no secret that the Clippers franchise has been in the shadow of their city rivals for most of their history. However, over the past decade, the club has been determined to come out of their underdog shell, invest in All-Star calibre players, and even compete for the NBA title. This is why Kawhi Leonard first signed for the team in 2019. Even though they are yet to win a championship, Kawhi and his teammates took the L.A. squad all the way to the Western Conference Finals just four years ago. Now that the new season is about to…
Mike Perry is ready to make amends. The BKFC superstar and former UFC fighter addressed his recent DUI arrest publicly for the first time on his podcast after he was taken into custody on Oct. 12 after being stopped by police in Florida.

Former All-American Reece Whitley summed up the reason for this after the 2023 national title.…
