True, the Clippers were on the news lately due to the arrival of Baron Davis and the departure of Elton Brand to the 76ers, but now they are on the headlines for a different reason: the dead of former NBA star Kevin Duckworth, whom finished a glorious career at the NBA with the Clips.

Duckworth started playing at the NBA in 1986 after being picked on round two of that year’s draft by the Spurs, with whom he played for just a year, then he moved to Portland to play with the Blazers from 86’ to 93’, then he arrived to the deceased Washington Bullets for two years. On 95’ he went to play for the Bucks and finally he moved to the Clippers for another single season.

‘The Duck’ as he was known by teammates and fans had his best moments playing for Portland to whom he led to the NBA finals of 90’and 92’.

Truly a sad moment for NBA fans alike, his death was confirmed by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, he was 44.
