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

This story picking up steam which will likely lead to Silver at the very least speaking on it and maybe opening an investigation means that this shyt does matter.

The league will have to either sweep this under the rug or investigate which would get ugly.

I posted the section of the CBA. They can request tax records. I doubt they really want to dig into this deeply because it's a can of worms

Pablo’s generational run continues. This is peak journalism

The fallout of this could be crazy.

Not gonna be any fallout. Nobody cares that you cheated when you cheat and don’t actually win.

It’s wild though remembering how people were saying Kawhi snatched LA from LeBron at the time.

That’s a shytty look on the league if they allow an owner to have that much power and influence over everyone else

Jerry Jones has that in the NFL
George Steinbrenner had that for years in the MLB

How the fukk do you give Kawhi a max contract and he rarely shows up to work or does any media appearances for the team or the league. Only to turn around and give that nikka another 28 million under the table.

NBA didn’t do shyt to Ballmer for all the tampering they did with KL in
Toronto and they won’t do anything to him now. He’s to rich and powerful

This is not shocking, I remember at that time there were those rumor reports that uncle Dennis was asking for house, planes etc lol

Because Kawhi is good at shooting the wet ball.
