The 1995-96 Los Angeles Clippers season was their 26th season in the NBA their 2nd in Anaheim.[1] The Clippers selected Antonio McDyess with their second pick of the 1995 NBA Draft, but soon traded him to the Denver Nuggets for rookie Brent Barry. With the addition of Brian Williams, Rodney Rogers, and the continued development of Loy Vaught, the Clippers showed some improvement despite continuing to finish last place in the Atlantic Division with a 29-53 record. Barry won the Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star Weekend in San Antonio.
