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

He's the richest in all of sports, not just the NBA and he's richer than all of the rest of the NBA owners combined I think

**edit** updated list as of March 2025

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.

Gil Arenas said he heard Kawhi lives at the facility just constantly working on his game night and day. Ballmer respects the passion and work ethic.

This shyt is wild. I’m sure it happens often but not this messy.

That graph above showing Robert pera is that high up as far as richest owners. fukkboy need to spend some money on his team.

And if other sports can defer contracts to skirt the salary cap, why can’t Basketball?


Any sport where the players are predominantly black always have restrictions

The two sections at the bottom of this excerpt is why the Clippers and Ballmer should be worried. It’s hard to argue that a $28m endorsement deal without any obligations on Kawhi’s end is fair market value for his services.

The source from the tree company said that Leonard's deal was more than Drake, Robert Downey JR, Leo Dicaprio, and a bunch of other deals COMBINED

There is zero doubt what this was for.

The funniest part is Ballmer paying him extra to explicitly "do nothing." Which is what he does most of the year anyway.

 

[Spidey Man]

Good thing money isn't real for ballmer, otherwise he would just hire an interpreter and blame everything on that

 

[dtownreppin214]

Ballmer, along with half this list, are Jewish.

 

[The God Poster]

He's starting to become a nuisance to these sports leagues.

What actual damage has he done? These leagues similar to Trump have the media in check. That Lamar situation & how the media flipped the blame to the NFLPA was nasty work

Balmer still think he at Microsoft
