It’s hard not to see the sensation masked in goggles, Reggie Jackson, through rose-colored glasses.
The spectacular Clipper in spectacles, mismatched shoes, and one too many accessories has brought fans onto their feet with his Mr. June mojo as of recent. Despite starting the season off cold, he has found his groove lately, hitting daggers left and right and putting opponents on skates every time he’s handling the rock: he is averaging 21.2 points and shooting an impressive 46 percent from the field and 42.5 percent from downtown during the team’s five-game winning streak.
While Paul George’s MVP-caliber start to the season is undoubtedly the main impetus for the recent success of the Clippers, it is only after Jackson stepped up that the Clippers found themselves consistently exiting arenas with a win — they’ve won all five of their last five, in case you forgot.
