Two Los Angeles Clippers players shared the interesting and weird dynamic of their team sharing a home arena with the historically more successful and popular Los Angeles Lakers.

Clippers forward Paul George and Terance Mann discussed the topic during the latter's appearance on the former's Podcast P show, and they both described how the Clippers are treated like "little brothers" at the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as the Staples Center.

George mentioned that the Clippers share a weight room with the Lakers inside the arena, and some gym equipment has LeBron James' logo stamped on it, which they weren't allowed to touch.

Mann added that workers in the arena are mostly Lakers fans while also noting the different on-court lighting during home games. George described the Lakers' as more upscale, and the whole atmosphere just feels like Lakeland.

Both of them agreed that workers treat them differently than players in purple-and-gold.

Clippers won't share a home soon

Both teams have shared the Crypto.com arena since the 1999-00 NBA season, but the Clippers are set to have their own brand new home arena in Inglewood, California, starting the 2024-25 NBA season.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer invested around $1.8 billion to build the Intuit Dome, roughly the same amount he spent to buy the team in 2014.

The team will finally be able to depart from the Lakers' shadow with the new building. Intuit Dome recently revealed on social media the latest progress on the arena's construction at the end of last June.
