    Yo what is happening ?!😂😂😂

    I love the trailblazer players stretching thinking “what is this dude doing”?

  2. PredatoreeX

    What’s the o/u on how many lines he railed before the game?

  3. TheRealDevDev

    i was ready to run through a fucking wall after this speech

    Ballmer gotta get on the phone right now and buy the WWE from Vinny Mac, dude could single-handedly bring the WWE back into mainstream relevance

    The Clippers can’t move to Seattle fast enough.

    They have the star power, the city is dying for it’s team back and Balmer is like the 8th richest man in the world, he afford it.

    Sheesh. I’m hyped from nearly 3000 miles away. Credit to Ballmer. When he puts his passions somewhere, he truly goes for it.

    Significance of 8.7? or was it just they needed to stop the clock to give Ballmer more time.

    Yeah that speech was lit here live. We were waiting for him to say “the Sonics are back!” lol. Seems like they teased us (they know but can’t say it yet), but I’m not surprised. It was fun. It’s great seeing NBA action here again. We’re just going to have to wait until after the new CBA before they announce the Sonics expansion, which was the most logical prediction to begin with.

  13. Actually-Gay-NBA-Fan

    On the feed on the NBA app they showed some kid who definitely thought he was about to announce a team in Seattle. Lol. He was holding his chest when Balmer kept going “I’m excited…” and listing something he was excited about.

  14. send_me_ur_boobsies

    I’m rooting for Ballmer but not really rooting for the Clippers lol such a dilemma.

  15. rounder55

    Love how the clock manager knew he wasn’t going to finished so just paused it at 8.7

    Steve Ballmer is has that contagious cool drunk uncle energy that makes me want to arm wrestle a kodiak bear

  16. angel2timez

    I’m over here afraid to talk in front of group of 4 that I have known for years

    Plot twist: Seattle isn’t getting an expansion team, instead the Clippers are moving there and becoming the new Sonics

    I just love that an NBA owner actually fucking loves basketball, even if he is a cocaine addict with a shouting problem

  19. JayDogon504

    He really shoulda just moved the Clippers to Seattle. No matter what they do they’ll never capture the heart of the city

  20. I thought he was gonna shotgun a beer and French kiss a fan with that kind of walk off lmfao

  21. Headline is a little misleading. Makes it sound like Ballmer is saying “This is a basketball city, damn it” which I guess he kind of is in essence, but his actual quote was a request “*IF* this is a basketball city, damn it let’s hear it!!”

  22. Inevitable-Chemist-4

    Been a warriors Stan because of the splash bros, never really been hooked into a team dynamic due to a variety of different favorite players. However should a Seattle team come back I’ll rock with them

  23. IMKudaimi123

    Smh they were supposed to announce the expansion today

  24. rya11111

    Bet crackheads go “wtf” when they look at him lol

  25. driedpoop33

    Steve Ballmer should buy the Portland Trailblazers and move the team to Seattle.

  26. penpen35

    Man I was expecting a mic toss after his speech
