With the Clips in New York
Kevin Roderick • Bio • Email

Elton Brand at the GardenJacob Soboroff took his LA Observed video camera to the Clippers' morning shoot around at Madison Square Garden and chatted with New York native Elton Brand about coming home — he turns his cell phone off and buys 50-plus tickets for friends. Jacob also offers coach Mike Dunleavy the chance to send a video postcard to his family back in L.A., but coach says with a smile: "I don't send video postcards." No one was smiling after the game — the Clippers lost to the Knicks and fell back to a .500 record. Watch the video here at SoCalSports or see it on iTunes.
