Reggie Jackson had become a punchline. Well, he still is, in a way. But more for the same reasons. It was both funny, pleasant and surprising to see him evolve at this level during the playoffs. Non-existent last year – barely 4 points per game during the defeat in the bubble – he has established himself as the third and then the second star of the Los Angeles Clippers during this campaign.
With even some heroic performances to the key against the Utah Jazz then the Phoenix Suns. Often, the strong man, in the money time, it was him. He slammed guts when his team needed to score. And it is this skill, this composure, this courage, which made the difference at several times following the injury of Kawhi Leonard. The Angelenos probably never would have gone 0-2 twice without Jax.
Suddenly, questions now arise around the future of the man following his rebirth. Here he is free to sign wherever he sees fit. After the Clippers were eliminated, Reggie Jackson held a tribute to his teammates and the franchise, those who have it. Safe.» A message which sounded as much to a declaration of love as to words of farewell.

“I like each of the guys in the locker room. I am truly grateful for all that I have been able to experience here. I can’t predict the future, I don’t know what’s going to happen. This city and this organization hold a special place in my heart. I’ll be a Clipper for life. “
Reggie Jackson will have completed the playoffs with 17.8 points, 48% on shots, 40% three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Very solid. Worthy of his status as a rising star in… 2014. The leader will be able to claim a good little jackpot during the next offseason. After all, if Dennis Schröder claims $ 120 million… so who’s going to overpay good old Reg?
