Pablo Torre: Kawhi Leonard signed secret endorsement deal funded by Steve Ballmer. UPDATE: Ballmer made donations to Aspiration before Feds came.

The ironic thing is that what Marc Cuban said ended up being true

Balmer is dumber than we all thought :dead: :dead:

I don't think he's dumb for the most part, I just think the money is so small it wasn't worth thinking about. His net worth is $154,000,000,000 and the amount is question is $118,000,000.

That's me getting the medium to large upgrade at the movie theater to him. It's cheaper to pay the fine.

The American public is so blatantly stupid that they really think they can run game around this fiasco. And what’s sad is there’s a halfway chance it might work.
What crazier to me is why is all of this happening? Simply unchecked greed and finally got caught?


All parties involved already have more money than they'll ever get to spend in life, why can't these people just take their W in life and move on, gonna get alot of people in trouble behind this

Basically.

Ballmer and the Clippers were desperate and Kawhi and his uncle took advantage.

If Aspiration didn't go bankrupt, no one would have found out about this scheme.

Also with the charity stuff that came out today in Pablo's video, Kawhi and Ballmer better hope they don't get the attention of the IRS and/or SEC.

Especially with the current administration.

Edit: What's even crazier is the Clippers had SGA and draft picks in 2018-2019, and they gave it all away for Kawhi and Paul George.

Seriously, greed becoming a virtue is such a setback for this country. But then again, it’s a lot of the DNA that birthed it too.

Honestly one of the biggest L’s we’ve seen a franchise take. But to be fair to capset, there was no way of knowing that keeping SGA over getting peg leg/gheuerge pahul was the better move. Especially when you want to make a splash move to compete with the Lakers getting AD to go with Bron.

Still tho, only capset could do this :skip:

Yea that was my next thought, that greed is what got Ballmer and his people there atleast, he coulda BEEN stopped caring about money moves

Kawhi and his uncle have no damn excuse though, y'all already made it from nothing :snoop: nikkas asking for private jets and ownership of NBA teams, Jordan had to get 6 and be the face of the league AND Nike for ages before he had the rep to get a team, a trash team in NC at that, not a major team in LA

If Pablo's next video goes into detail about the games Kawhi missed due to lack of payment instead of injury. :wow:
