The Clippers began their best era of success in 2010, when they drafted Blake Griffin with the No. Levin sold the team to Donald Sterling, who moved the franchise 120 miles north to Los Angeles and retained the Clippers name. The franchise's stay in San Diego didn't last long. Levin, who was a resident of Southern California, moved the franchise to San Diego and renamed it the Clippers.


The franchise moved in 1978 after the ownership rights to the franchise were traded to Irv Levin, who previously owned the Boston Celtics. He was named NBA MVP in the 1974-75 season, and remains the only player in the history of the Clippers franchise to win that honor. McAdoo won Rookie of the Year and led the Braves to the playoffs in three consecutive seasons. The franchise welcomed its first star in 1972, when they selected forward Bob McAdoo with the No. The Clippers franchise began in 1970, when they were located in Buffalo, New York, and were known as the Buffalo Braves.
