Steve Ballmer flew over 120 Clippers fans to Denver on a charter plane this morning, also covering their tickets and transportation to Game 7. They will be on the side the Nuggets are shooting on the 2nd half, bringing “The Wall” to Ball Arena (video via @TomerAzarly, h/t @ramonashelburne)

  6. I’m rooting for the Nuggets in this series but I have a ton of respect for Ballmer and what he’s done with the Clippers.

  7. this man’s willingness to spend literally made worse owners negotiate all the apron stuff that’s in the new cba

  9. Away sections of the arena in soccer are always incredible to see. Those fans will act like they have a chip on their shoulder and bring so much energy. I hope it’s the start of a new trend.

  11. with the type of bread he has, he can buy out the arena and fill it with Clipper fans. He next level rich.

  12. Ballmer is easily the top owner in the league, what an upgrade for the clippers

  13. Imagine how much more invested all the fanbases would be if they had owners this invested in their teams instead of cash grabs lol

  14. The wall is a great idea, all other teams should adopt it I think. Bringing kind of European fan intensity to the game (exaggerating a bit).

  15. I really don’t get why billionaires don’t do shit like this often. This is literally pocket change for a billionaire. Make people happy with your money, why the fuck not?

  16. Imagine being a billionaire and investing your energy into attaining “cool sports owner” status.

    Need more of that club to be like Cuban and Ballmer. For everyone’s sake.

  20. Dude is a bad ass billionaire. I work in construction and one of the guys I worked with on a different project ran some shit for the intuit dome. He said news came out the Forum was going to sue because construction of the intuit dome was too close. That morning in a progress meeting an attorney kicked off the meeting saying they were going to have to stop work. Ballmer was on the call and asked why. The attorney (and everyone on the call) thought he was joking. He said I bought the forum this morning.

  24. That was cruel to fly those fans in just to watch their team get belt to assed.

  26. This is like flying your family out to see the dog get put down

  27. Brought 120 fans over to witness their downfall live, devious stuff.
