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

He should've came with his next story/hit piece weeks ago. He's got my squad under the cross-hairs, should've had the next scandal locked, loaded, and ready to go. It's like a music artist, what's the next hit or single you're going to drop? He's like the Ashton guy going viral for the morning routine of dipping his face in a bowl of ice water and sprinting around the track, but what's next. How do you follow that up?

That's not how journalism works. Woodward didn't break any news stories on the level of watergate after it and no one diminishes his work or career because of that. I just think a lot of folks now a days don't respect any field where people actually dedicate time to the craft anymore. Never has being talentless been so fruitful, and putting effort into something been seen as "trying too hard".

Granted its a different era where it was only newspaper, radio, and television. Maybe we would have to take into account Woodward breaking Nixon and the Watergate Scandal in today's world would have him all over Twitter, hosting a podcast, taking on/calling out other politicians(Cuban), daily drops and updates, and "Wait until my next bombshell drops" follow up report and Tweet." If this is the format of today's journalism, then yes, where's the next news report-scandal at?

This was great journalism by Pablo but there's so much corruption going in in America that no one cares. Pre Nov 4th 2024 Trump win, this wouldve been a big deal. Now, nothing. NBA will most likely fine the Clippers and sweep under the rug.

I mean, he just doing his job and being good at it, but a journalist is a snitch/tattle tell by default. Part of their whole job is uncovering secrets and exposing them

Even as a Clipper fan it was outstanding journalism on Pablo's part. Guilty as charged. Unfortunately for him Charlie Kick getting assassinated and another school shooting took a lot of wind out of his sails. Then you add on a new mass murder every other day and more Trump issues, the news cycle these days is on another level.. on steroids. Pablo is/was scrambling to keep it all afloat, relevant, and fresh, but I don't know at this point. That's why I said he could still keep his foot on the neck of Ballmer, but another story from him on the side is ideal in this current climate of microwaveable news and devastating incidents happening across the globe.

that's not snitching. uncovering corrupt shyt like that is investigative journalism.

don't think anyone really cares about the Kawhi gettin his bread, it's Moreso circumventing the salary cap. that extra luxury tax revenue Ballmer isn't paying goes to the league and other teams who are trying to abide by the salary cap rules. Ballmer doing this shyt is taking money out of others pockets by bein sneaky.

Snitching is telling on other nikkaz when you get caught or doing dirt yourself.
