With five wins in six matches, the Clippers are finishing 2024 very well and no one symbolizes that better than Norman Powell. The guard is in great form with six matches in a row with more than 25 points and even a peak of 35 points in the success against the Pelicans.
So much so that the guard averages 29.3 points over this sequence of six games, with a 51% shooting success rate. Enough to confirm his candidacy for the All-Star Game, which he has dreamed of for several weeks now.
“I worked extremely hard for ten years,” answers Norman Powell when asked what All-Star Game voters need to know about him. “I sacrificed myself, committed to the work, I believed in myself no matter what anyone said. »
The 2019 NBA champion with the Raptors, installed for two years in a role of sixth man for the Clippers, is now the starter with the departure of Paul George and the prolonged absence of Kawhi Leonard (expected back on January 4). He took full advantage of it to achieve his best season, at age 31, with an average of 24.6 points.
“We put limits on my game, they put me in boxes, especially when I arrived in the NBA. People said I couldn't shoot, couldn't score. I was a defender above all, he remembers. “I did that. I continued to believe in myself, to evolve my game each offseason, to use the doubters to motivate me. I will continue to work, to help my team win matches. This is the most important. »
