Former Players

Here is a list of former players who have had the honor or in some cases dis-honor of representing the orange and black over the years. (Most names have been changed or nicknames have been used to protect those who are private people). Some of these guys have not officially retired but are on some sort of hiatus.

Jason "The rapper" L. - played for a few seasons in the infant stages of the team

John "Smokestack" - was the first big man ever on the team, had horrible hands

Fred "Shawn Kemp" - guy provided the one and only dunk ever in Clip Joint history

Shawn "The veteran" G. - provided veteran leadership and solid defense for many seasons before eventually retiring without a championship ring.

Andy "Out of Shape" B. - big man who rather shoot jumpers than score inside, ate himself out of the league

Ravi "One -eye open" V. -solid big man who could rebound and block shots and add some scoring, literally could not see from more than 2 feet away

Jerome "church" - dreadlocked guard who came straight from church every week

J.P. "Coach" F. - the most famous of the Clip Joint alum who later became hated rival for several years

Mike "Drunk" - played one season before going into the substance abuse program for the league

"Lotto" - was a solid point guard who played for a pair of seasons but never reached his full potential

Jason "Shoot First" C. - power forward who was more worried about his personal scoring than the teams

Ashish "Shazeezy" K. - one of the original members but fell out of favor with the team and was forced to retire

Danny "Turn-Over Machine" - enigmatic point guard who no-showed too many games, lasted 5 games before being released

Kamaal "Team Player" J. - Was an on again , off again player for many seasons and provided great depth off the bench

James "One Season Wonder" W. - won a title in his only season, was quietly effective

George "Greek League Legend" K. - star point guard for many seasons, still one of the best all time members of the Clip Joint

Jake "Jewspan" G. - big man who could do it all from anywhere on the floor

Andy "All Day" L. - played one season and left a lasting impression as possibly the hardest working player on the team
