DeAndre Jordan steps outside and likes what he sees We're talking history here. The kind of thing you might never see again in your lifetime. None of the Clippers had been witness to such an amazing accomplishment before. There was a buzz throughout the locker room after having DeAndre Jordan take their breath away. Just think if you had the chance to be there to watch Babe Ruth point to center field in Wrigley Field and watch him hit the next pitch there for a home run. What a thrill it would have been to be sitting ringside when Cassius Clay whipped Sonny Liston, or sitting in the stands on a night when Sandy Koufax was perfect. I went all the way to Orlando, Cleveland, Philadelphia and even Charlotte because I'm sure there are folks out there who are still kicking themselves for leaving before Kirk Gibson's home run. So I hung in there in places where no else would want to spend any time just on the chance that if it ever happened, I would be there if Jordan stepped outside the paint and made a basket. It had never happened. Never. The Clippers are paying Jordan $10.2 million this season, and not once in his NBA career has he hit a shot while standing outside the key. "Yes, I have," protested Jordan with a grin before Saturday night's game. I've made a free throw. That alone on most nights might be right up there with the Miracle on Manchester, but this was Bob Welch striking out Reggie Jackson on 11 straight fastballs, Anthony Davis going the distance against Notre Dame to start the second half or UCLA beating USC in football. Hours earlier we had sat together on the Clippers bench going over the fact, again and again, that he had never hit a shot of any length and had played so poorly the last two games. "Time to do something or else," I told him, motivation just something extra that comes with Page 2. Now when you consider he started against Cleveland two games ago and never took a shot the whole game - is there anything in L.A. sports history to top the shock of this bomb? "We've been working on that for the last four years," deadpanned Blake Griffin. "Did you see our bench when he made it?" said Chris Paul. The Clippers went wild, everyone leaping to their feet while Jordan ran down the court a la Shaq looking at his hand as if it really were alive. The official play-by-play called it a "12-foot jump shot." Griffin and Paul said it traveled 13 feet. Jordan had it at 17 feet.
