How many other nba owner doing the same things or worse?? NBA looking into the clippers they better look into all other nba teams. Kawhi can’t enjoy one healthy off season without some media backlash. Plus the company went under with the owner scamming everyone so Ballmer also a victim of the company. Kawhi innocent.
If it ain't from shams , it ain't real 😂😂
Pray for the clips
Somebody dropped a dime on him Bet West Brook or PG dropped it
If things end like this, then I will really start to have a public vendetta against Kawhi. And I hope I don't cause I love watching him
Not sure why folks are covering this BS. Do you understand how smart Steve Ballmer is? You think he would do such a juvenile scam? Come on folks, use your brain man. There is a reason Steve is worth nearly 200 Billion, it's not from being stupid and doing childish schemes, he ran Microsoft for christ sake. Stop falling for these bs gotcha stuff, when the NBA investigates and he is cleared, i hope folks sue and sue for every penny. No one that is in business or understands how money operates believes this, no one.
Starting to see kawhis true colors smdh , like come on bro we gave up and gave u everything, but u still ain’t delivered us anything
This newz makes me sick! Hopefully nba finds out this company scammed Balmer!! For what's its worth mark cuban thinks Balmer got scammed
My friend always said if you ain’t treating you ain’t trying!!!! 😂
Law coping so hard bruh
Imagine if the Clippers had to give up 5 firsts for the second time in the last decade 😞
This is a big story.
Good thing the clippers dont have any picks to give up in the first place LMFAO
Clipper need to be given the death penalty for this.
Calling the Clippers out for the same shit they were investigated for in 2019 does not make us “haters”. I guess all other 29 teams are “haters”. There’s not even a debate, there’s a paper trail. The nail in the coffin will be the section that reads the only way to not pay Kawhi the contract he signed with Aspire is if he no longer plays for the clippers. They’re done for.
Just a bad look man
😅😅😅😅😅 Clippers are 🗑️
This could be devastating
Man I can’t stand the Clippers man something wrong and embarrassing always has to happen. 🤦♂️
Im 32:00 in and still "LAW" has been very vague on what Kawhi Leonard is accused of. The only accusation is that Kawhi got $28m from Balmer that he invested in "Aspire". It is not making sense to me though, because Kawhi is a very smart & shrewd guy. We all know Steve Balmer Balmer got in trouble once already) is not stupid! Why would either of them do something illegal that is so easy to uncover??? Balmer is a billionaire and Kawhi is worth $200m (153m from his last contract alone). Kawhi doesn't spend frivolously or extravagantly. In fact from everything I heard about him since he was with the Spurs is that he is a cheapskate! He still has the car he drove in HS (1997 Chevy Tahoe) and I believe he only has 4 cars in total. He bought a Rolls Royce and a Porsche after getting to the Clippers and also has a 2016 Subaru Forester. This does not look to me like someone who needs to commit fraud and risk losing everything and going to jail.
I guess you never know, but it just seems very odd that either man would do something like this when they are both set for life. Unless this was Uncle Dennis' scheme and it's going to end up taking Kawhi down🤔
Let's say Kawhi knew about this and intentionally committed fraud. IMHO that isn't cheating or getting a basketball advantage! Again, we will soon see what this is really about and who are the guilty parties who will be either in jail or lose a lot of $$$ and have their reps ruined for life.
I find it a little too coincidental that this "big news" comes out a month or 2 after Lebron was again called out by another person in the NBA, pro sports, or media circles for taking PED's. Why does that get swept under the carpet in less than a week (like it always has). Im pretty sure that the NBA & feds will use every resource they have and leave no stone unturned for this one though!
P.S. Law says Kawhi has a history of this??? How is it Kawhi's fault that the restaurants in Toronto we're offering him free meals for life??? Other teams hounding Kawhi to sign with him is another thing that is not Kawhi's fault! I have a feeling this whole thing is something Uncle Dennis orchestrated and Kawhi will be the one to go down for it. It makes sense Uncle Dennis would do something shady, but get out-scammed by smarter scammers. Again, we will see…
Anyone else not like the guest speaker? Dimes question about fraud and tampering weren’t really answered. The guy said a lot and it meant nothing 😂
From what I heard the only reason they had a paper trail was the company filed for bankruptcy and because of that it had to list its creditors. Kawhi was listed as a creditor cuz they still owed him money from the deal. The only problem was kawhi never did anything (apparently) other than get paid.
What a disappointment! This franchise has been up and down since the signing of Kawhi. PG/Klaw connection was a disaster, injury plague, and now money laundering. Man from the outside it looks like a top organization but it just ends up being a smoke screen.
Will harden get credit for floor raising again this upcoming season
