Same. He’s very insightful, measured, and funny.

Where is Ja?

Also on how you treat and respect people, lol.

Two years ago, during Blake Griffin’s free agent meeting with the Clippers, team reps wore shirts during the meeting with the faces of Blake Griffin, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, and JFK on them. As part of the elaborate pitch the Clippers organization used in luring Griffin back, they had these shirts made and wore them during the meeting. They also did a “mock retirement” of Blake’s number, with the PA announcer referring to Blake as a Clipper for life.

He was traded halfway into the first season of his new five-year deal to the league worst Detroit Pistons.

Nobody got done dirtier by the Clippers than Blake Griffin

About most sports stuff tbh, dudes easily one of the better analysts right now

You read my mind…please stop now tho.

Full vid of his thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqJF5xer9Xs

Coming from a guy who always tries to keep things light, for him to speak so solemnly… I dunno if he’s right but I definitely listened

Clippers connection and he got a proper farewell season from Boston no less.

Yeah, let’s hear about respect from the dude who shoved a trainers head toward his cock 🤪

I had a lot of reasons to dislike the lob city clippers, but it was certainly not a lack of intelligence, ability or talent.

I’ve never seen Blake as an analyst until just now, and after watching that clip I 100% agree. In fact, this dude is a top tier anchor

Comment hit harder than Draymond

You don’t get to a billion without being selfish.

Bullshit. As a federal employee, I’ve always felt Trump and Elon have had my best interests in mind. /s

#LEBRON IS A BILLIONAIRE 😭

But you gotta show loyalty as a player right

Loyalty to this???

How much money before they don’t care? Is there a limit?

Seems like a great guy for the next generation of Inside if they want to keep the vibes going, very funny guy and usually has something interesting to say too

And he’s funny and hot.

I knew after watching him in Broad City he’d be an elite post-career guy, haha

He should angle for a late night show in the future, if those are still legal.

He was great on Adam Friedland

There’s a couple of good ones right now, which we should all be glad for after hearing so much from talking heads like Shaq, Perkins, and has been like Jalen Rose.

Nash, Blake, Dirk, udonis, and others have all taken on some sort of media roles and they have personality, and have intelligent insights on yhe game today. This is what the nba needed. It was becoming way too far into a clout/hot take clown show

I really enjoyed his time in Boston. Never thought much of him before that but he’s a great teammate.

Yep. Love listening to him. Funny, but also pretty insightful. 

You threw food at Vito, that’s good be resolved!

Their existence as a non-joke franchise began and ended with CP3

so is Chris Paul but he’s a smaller clown

The Ringling Bros. organization.

“How much for you to take down your comment u/testiculardescendant”? - Ballmer probably

But…he told us “Street lights over Spotlights,” and “driven over given.”

Didn’t Blake find out he was traded through social media or something lol

Hank!!

Haaank, don’t abbreviate Cyberpunk.

Are Blake and Chris the two greatest players in clippers history? The franchise has totally screwed their franchise legends…

Wild

I still think trading Blake was the right move, they should dealt with it better though

Ballmer also wasn’t a good Microsoft CEO. He infamously mocked the smartphone revolution and look where that got them.

As far as CEOs Balmer should be considered pretty low on the list. He is probably the main reason why we have Apple, Android but no Windows phone. Which is crazy considering everyone and every organization use Windows Softwares. They had a strong foundation to built on but got overtaken by Google’s Android. 

Despite his poor performance, Balmer got out of Microsoft with massive stock based compensation. Furthermore, to Balmer’s benefit Microsoft did not make the same mistake twice and hired far more competent CEO and guess who benefits from great performance by Microsoft and the current CEO? Steve Balmer and his massive steal of Microsoft stock. 

It never did. It’s your typical billionaire pandering to the peasants. Much like Elon pretending he’s an elite gamer.

LA and under the table contracts.

They’ll probably still do fine but they’ll never win anything since that org is rotten starting with Ballmer at the top.

Lots of player option instead of team options built into those contacts

I don’t think it will massively alter things much to the chagrin of those on this site.

I wouldn’t say they’ve been able to attract big talent except for those that want to be in LA and the Lakers aren’t an option. Chris Paul was their biggest signing and has been known as a fucking asshole forever - by ex-teammates to boot.

What they did is extremely shitty (and a little funny if you step back from it all) but overall they’re still an LA team that’s about to probably blow it up and rebuild sooner than later. After the rebuild all this stuff will have settled in the wake of more drama and they’ll still be in Los Angeles where rich players want to live

It doesn’t even make sense why you need that much wealth. Thanks Reagan

He did. There’s a clip somewhere on the internets of Balmer trying to talk to Blake or shake his hand on his first game back to staples at that time as a visitor and Blake legit ignored him and ran away from him lmao

Yep. They sweet talked him about being a Clipper for life and then immediately traded him to Detroit.

They made this big grandiose pitch to get him to re sign comparing him to gandhi and MLK and then traded him unceremoniously a few months later for tobias harris and boban

the tree thing

I.e. blatant documented cap circumvention 

He hit him with the devastating “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” closer, too!
