ESPN afraid of reporting the truth. You guys trying to protect Ballmer like a bunch of sycophants. You aren't real journalists and a disgrace to the profession. We all know he cheated, so don't insult our intelligence
They gotta come downn
Ima just say this , PG said give me what Kawhi is getting 😂😂
NBA needs rich owners to stick around so it's difficult for them to go hard on Ballmer. Kawhi is a different story. Owner hate guys like his uncle so they don't owe Kawhi a break.
I was wondering how the clippers was better than the lakers. Cheating. Lol
Clippers was cheating and still can't win 🤣
"We have very broad powers when it comes to deciding to thoroughly investigate or to not investigate very hard."
Why pay him? He hardly plays
So there's not going to be any significant punishment for the Clippers or its management staff or for Ballmer or Leonard and in future every team and every star player
will be trying to find ways around the salary cap so that it becomes meaningless?
Salty cap is fake, just an excuse for greedy owners not to spend $$$
Kawhi expected so much for not even being on the court as much 😂
They keep calling it Pablo pod lmao this was true journalist work. Awarding winning journalism. They spinning it already lol
All of Kawhi contracts are no show anyways 😂
We, unfortunately, are cursed for yet another season to endure Malika Andrews, the kind of woman you'd double-take at but start running away the moment she begins speaking.
GO CLIPPERS GO! TO SEATTLE!
I thought Kendrick Perkins was the bottom of the barrel of NBA analysts…then enters Channing Frye.
Yall nees to leave ma Dawg Kawhi Leonard along.
League rules allow for circumstantial evidence to be sufficient. You’re not gonna have someone writing a check with the subject line saying fraud on it.
Soooooo lemme get this right if i may. The clippers were force to be sold because an old white guy said the N word. Yet now you can literally circumvent the rules, the salary cap, and basically make the rules or buy the team you want if you are a rich owner. Ya seems like loosing a draft pick, compared to an entire franchise seems right hahahahahahahah I don't think there is 2 more entitled leagues in professional sports quite like the NBA and WNBA.
He asked MLSE for partial ownership of the effing Leafs
Subsection 13.2(d) (or “Section 2(d)” in some summaries) says:
“A violation of Section 2(a) or 2(b) above may be proven by direct or circumstantial evidence, including, but not limited to, evidence that a Player Contract or any term or provision thereof cannot rationally be explained in the absence of conduct violative of Section 2(a) or 2(b).”
It’s not money that is injurious, it’s the LOVE of money.
We getting away with this.
Buncha Jews being a bunch of Jews. Nothing to see here. The usual scandal. The obvious pinning of a scapegoat. Billionaire Jews making moves and getting away with corruption and financial crimes. Gets swept under the rug. And the cycle continues.
There will be zero punishment to the clippers organisation. They will shift everything to uncle Dennis.
Espn running cover for the billionaires. Nothing to see here guys.
Bro Harden can’t get away from drama 😅. The Kyrie situation, Embiid and Daryl Morey, now Kawhi.
Where the hell is Kwai? Speak up fool 😊
I'll tell you who I'm NOT going to for information on Kawhi and the Clippers….ESPN. Why would I care what ESPN has to say after that absolute tongue bath Ramona Shelbourne gave Steve Ballmer? It's like trusting Jizzlaine about all of big Jeff's dealings in DC.
No question Paul Torre found the smoking gun. Ball is on Adam Silver's court. Let's hope he does the right thing with commensurate penalties on Balmer, Leonard, and the Clippers. Maybe even Dennis Wong and Dennis Robertson!
ESPN trash! No journalism there
Somehow, someway, the Sixers are going to get in trouble for this.
These players happened
ITS A SMEAR CAMPAIGN FOR VIEWS! PABLO TORRE AKA CHATTY PATTY IS A TIN FOIL HAT CONSPIRACY THEORIST BALLMER DID NOTHING WRONG HE GOT SCAMMED!
So, a regular reporter found out this information, but NBA investigators couldn't find out anything and closed the case.😂😅😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
His suspension should at least match the payout. Suspend him 28 million, what ever the # of games that would equal that.
Remember when the entertainment of the NBA were the games itself? Funny how it's evolved. The games are boring. The news surrounding the games are far more interesting 😮
Kawhi's punishment should be to send him back to the Raptors
if they suspend Kawhi it won't matter. there goes the 10 times people see him a year
If this is true ban Leonard from the league as well as the owner .
How is Leonard allowed to keep getting what he wants in the wrong way first the spurs now this .
