Kawhi Leonard after getting water splashed on his braids by teammates: “I’m sending all y’all an invoice! Y’all gotta get my hair braided again!”
this has to be the best looking locker room I’ve ever seen
Yeah man state of the art shit. We got the most toilets too
Big house, long hallways
Got 10 bathrooms, I could shit all day
I could shit all day
Well if you’re the Clippers organization you are used to playing, drafting, trading, eating, smelling, looking and living like shit each and everyday. So the more toilets the better. There is alot of shit going around.
I heard the carbon offsets are crazy too.
well yea cause yall always shit🤣🤣
You’re laughing now but Derrick Jones Jr is back so watch your mouth.
Even the last 5 years we’ve had a better record than you? 😂🤣
No but seriously. I sit in the suites every game and there’s literally a private bathroom every 10 feet. Ballmer knows what’s up
Most trees too 😈
lol that’s the first thing I tell people about intuit dome when I went when it first opened that you can find a bathroom around every corner theres never ever a line
WET BALLS
Yeah for all the shit Ballmer tryna cover up
Well it’s not like they’re spending money on trophy cabinets
God damm
Or dusting of banners
Even the opposition teams have commented on how nice their locker room is
Intuit looks really nice and shiny, but there is something off with the place. The required account setup just to get in and the face scanning and buying things via “AI” (probably offshore video call centers) makes for an absolutely awful experience (not even considering the data privacy). The lack of game sound in the hallways makes it super awkward and quiet, and the in seat controller/microphone/sensors just feel straight dystopian.
The seats ARE very close to the court though.
Yeah. Just went tonight. Loved the arena. Hated all the apps and face recognition software they force you to do. Seats were awesome and super close.
Yeah the app is by far the worst part of it. Everything else I loved.
What’s the apps? Can you explain your experience?
Wow, that sounds weird as hell.
indeed, my experience even in the highest rows are surprisingly good and I was able to watch the game pretty clearly. Their massive screen also helps
Best arena/stadium I’ve ever been to: great viewing angles, nice screens with constantly updated stats, the Wall, etc–but the constant badgering for face ID/scanning is annoying.
I get that it makes getting through public areas faster but if I say no multiple times, stop asking.
The high tech AI has allowed me to get into a lot of games for free though 👀👀 sorry ballmer
Clippers has the best facilities and is in LA, they could probably be the hottest superstar free agent destination if they could fix their stupid ass management
They will be after the NBA does nothing about them clearly circumventing the cap.
The facilities might be great but it’s not nearly enough to entice free agents over the legacy that the Lakers have, especially with all the scandals regarding the management (equal money considering).
The big thing is that it’s not equal money though.
Hey, if I were a NBA star, I’d def consider the clippers and getting paid to not plant trees.
This is why Chris Paul wanted to go into it
Where’s Paul Chris ???
Looks high tech and new but the bright light atmosphere would annoy me.
So it would seem
man loves sending invoices
I aspire to be him someday
I aspire to plant trees with him someday
I’d rather burn some trees with him but I get the vibes he don’t want other folks germs on the tip
I too want a $7mm per year no show job 😥
I’ll settle for a 1% of that
Alright this one made me laugh. Well played.
REDDIT ON KIND STRANGER 🤓☝️
please fuck my wife PLEASE
Lmao
“I’m a fund guy”
Excellent job 😂
Send da invoice
Bill man gets paid
Bro this locker room looks like a boutique wtf lol
That’s the top 10 richest people on earth money at work 💀
that hallway is splendid too.
That locker room is built to withstand the next pandemic. Each locker spot separated and can close the doors lol.
I know where I’m going to seek a fallout shelter if there’s a nuclear explosion!
Imagine seeing Kawhi with his laptop in the corner, playing Factorio
kawhi seems like a dwarf fortress kinda guy
They need to do an MTV cribs of the locker rooms and everything in that arena.
“This over here is where the magic happens.”
toilet rises out of the floor
Which team got the Redman crib tier locker room?
actually surprised this hasn’t been done yet
To me it looks neat in pictures but also looks like it’d be terrible to actually work in with that lighting. Do any clippers fans know if the lights are like that all the time?
I feel like classic locker rooms like the Heat or Lakers ones capture the vibe of what you’d actually want in a locker room as a player, but then again I dont have a shoe store worth of shoes to show off.
Ya I would personally hate that lighting
It honestly looks like a bougie mall to me
Looks like an H&M or some shit.
That’s fuck you money right there lol I don’t think I’ve seen another locker room in the nba look like that
I remember seeing the video of the LSU football team locker, that was magnificent too.
Seriously, thought he was stepping onto the bridge of the Enterprise.
last game his hair was all over the place and he definitely got it re braided before this one lol
Idk if you know, but Braids take time and discipline bro lol… Can’t be itching that just cause, you gotta smack your head proper to get the itches and all that.
Never been in a situation where my braids got splashed on like Kawhi in the video. Don’t blame him for telling his folks they gotta pay for the next set lmao
I swear every time I got my hair did it rained later that day or week lol
When I lived in LA I could summon rain by getting a car wash 😂
Braids can’t get wet? What happens if they sweat or need to shower?
shower cap
You wash them but in a controlled way with water you know where it came from.
CP3 prolly looking like squidward in that SpongeBob meme
It’s kinda funny cause tbh the vibes are looking great since he got kicked off the team lol, maybe they were right
It’s possible that two things were true
CP3 was rightfully calling out guys on their BS
The locker room suffered because guys didnt like getting called out on their BS
Different people require different leadership styles. Maybe they actually just needed to forget about it and have fun again to play better.
It works on young guys like spurs and thunder when he was on the team. It doesn’t on the oldest team in the league
On the Thunder and Spurs, he was still able to get by his guy and make shots. Spurs had a lot of young active and long defenders to cover up for him. Those weren’t there on the Clippers, and it made him look a lot less effective on the floor.
And it’s also possible that CP3 didn’t handle it great when he was being held accountable for his own play when he was benched.
Him running to instagram to throw shots at a coach who said something rude to him was an example of bad leadership.
Or maybe he was just yapping without leading by example which pissed off his teammates.
If I’m a vet and my teammate who’s missing every single defensive rotation and gets picked on and scored regularly by opponents is in the locker room passive aggressively sniping at me to lock in on defense I’ll tune him out too, people don’t get how bad CP3 was on court this season.
This started back in preseason and training camp. Because only a couple of guys showed up to his Halloween party, that shit was in the beginning of the season. And it was held at the club at Intuit after the game, so it was really hard to make up an excuse to not show up.
Yeah maybe the Clippers guys are content with just playing bball and cashing their check.
Yes. But it has nothing to do with this.
Idk seems relevant. The locker room vibes look amazing here and after the CP3 incident everyone was criticizing the Clippers for having the worst vibes in the league.
Same PR team that says Ballmer has nothing to do with Aspiration btw
They staged the water throwing and invoice lines too probably
Clippers hallway leading to the locker room looking like heaven with all that brightness
Hallway lookin like Mr Freeze’s lair from Batman
Kawhi being dead serious about that braid money is hilarious.
maybe Chris Paul was the problem /s/maybe
Their offense looks a lot better without Zubac clogging the lane too
It is still small sample size but Clippers got the best offense in last 4 games and i cannot tell if it is Zu clogging the lane or role players are finally hitting their open shots
One of those games was 37 y/o Brook Lopez hitting a career high 3PM.
Another one of those games is a career high scoring night from Kawhi Leonard.
The Houston game had had Kawhi going for 41 on 81% true shooting, Harden putting up 29 on 73% true shooting, and Collins putting up 13 on 81% true shooting. They were also + 33 points from 3.
I think they are certainly a lot better than their record indicates, but this offense does feel a bit flukey.
It is, The clippers are shooting almost 20 percent better than their opponents from 3 in the last 4 games.
man the way yall did my rockets the other night im like.. is the team we’ve been watching all year?
It is seriously role players are finally hitting their open shots also for some reason teams arent shooting 40% from 3s against us while Kawhi is carrying on offense
Was Chris Paul the entire reason they were losing? Of course not. Was Chris Paul part of the solution or helping in any real way? The answer is clearly no.
He used to go my loctician on Melrose or in Fontana,CA 😂 $150 for the retwist.
This man wants to bill his teammates $150? Got damn
Kawhi seems like the exact type of dude to do that shit too lmao.
That’s like .005 cent to these guys lol it’s nothing
Board man gets paid though
Big facts. In all seriousness he was making a joke but yeah bad optics lmaoo
How long does it take?
Kawhi freezes for .17 seconds
the entire Clippers locker room’s phones go off
every player has received an invoice for 1/14th of the cost to reorganize cord… rebraid hair
Thats their locker room? Thought they were in a mall or something.
Genuinely asking, do people with braids not shower?
We use shower caps
How often do they wash their hair? Mine looks greasy if I don’t wash it for 2 days and more than that my scalp starts accumulating oily dead skin. Can’t imagine not washing your scalp after sweating your ass off playing an nba game.
Black hair tends to produce less oil overall. It’s also possible to wash your scalp in between the braids, just takes some effort.
It’s just an entirely different process with braids. You can still wash your scalp but you have to be more careful to keep the braids in tact.
Everyone’s different. People with curly/coily hair don’t need to wash their hair as often as people with straighter hair textures because our strands benefit from natural oils and shampooing frequently strips that away and makes our hair more prone to breakage.
I have 4C hair and usually wash once a week but if I properly moisturized my hair throughout the week, I could get away with a week and a half if I’m lazy. With NBA players, idk their wash schedules, but since they do sweat a lot I can imagine they get their hair washed pretty frequently. You can wash your hair in braids but it gets frizzy, which is why Kawhi is saying he needs to get his rebraided now that it’s wet.
And sleep in a headtie or wave cap, because your pillow hates tight braids.
i’m bouta get me some braids soon what’s wrong w water getting in it?
It frizzes up easily when wet and doesn’t look as neat when you first get it. Using mousse + setting with a durag is a temporary fix to lay everything back into place
Harden brings such a vibe, man
Harden has always seemed like he’d be a really fun teammate to have
Aye, thanks Clint Capela
Wet ball
That locker room look fancy af.
Fun locker room vibes, love to see it.
Locker room looks amazing… like walking into a 5star movie theater
I bet ya he just sending invoice but not getting his hair done again.
That locker room fucks
Send it to Ballmer instead.
Steve Baller
He’s just naturally funny
Invoice Aspiration
Okay, that’s funny and some real shit
Beautiful fucking locker room damn
Clippers vibin again
It’s good to see such good vibes with a team that should be champ contenders just content with throwing water on their boi Kawhi. Clippers nation stand up!
Not gonna lie, that Buffalo colorway should stay for good.
tell em to bring out the lobster! wet ball!
“my uncle is coming over tonight to collect”
Wet ball!
You know how seriously Kawhi takes his money. He’d sit out a month if the Aspiration payment was late.
The locker room looks like a mansion lol
Kawhi smiling..
Seen him smile twice now. Raptors shot and here.
Don’t remember him really smiling on his first FMVP.
It takes a lot to make this dude smile.
Braid-man get paid
Wet Ball 😂
Random but I wished he’d rock the hair he had in Paris.
What did he do, play 3 games in a row?
bro y’all see that hallway?
As if he’s not been a paycheck stealer on the Flippers for the last 5 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, Kawhi is too talented. One of the best players I’ve ever seen touch a basketball in my life. Sucks so much that injuries have made him a what if. Even with them, he’s had such an insane career.
2x FMVP 6x all NbA 2x DPOY
And at 34 he’s had like 6 seasons lost to injury.
Is it me or is Kawhi being more socially active these days? It’s kinda new to see too.
I love how his jokes are always also not jokes.
He seems like a fun guy.
Damn all of a sudden he knows all about invoices huh??😅😅
where was that energy earlier this year when they asked you about them aspiration invoices😅😅
The vibes are back!!
Kawhi prepping an invoice woulda been funnier if people hadn’t found out about his antics
He has 2 jobs, bro doesnt have time to get hair done
My unc still got it
This month aint very good for OKC😏😏
How much did they pay for that locker room 😳
Well the whole stadium was 2 billion, I’d imagine somewhere in the 300 million range
He dead serious too.
What a fun guy
Send the invoice to KL2 Aspire 🤣
Surprised he didn’t take a maintenance day after that deluge
WhAt A fUn GuY.
Just bill Aspiration Kawhi
Kawhi probably still has cash from that no-show job Ballmer set up for him. He can afford it.
win number 10 lol. will we make it to 20 ? I doubt it
I’d love to see the away locker room. 👀
Involve…from Aspiration?
Locker room is immaculate!
locker room is sick. probably the best in the world.
Im pretty sure Steve Ballmer will take care of that for you Kawhi
Always about money with Kawhi lol every last penny
These mfs plotting with the Gatorade too lmao
They can go plant some trees for him.
Bro braids already looked like he brushed them
Hordor did good this game.
Send to KL2, Inc.
i aspire to be like him someday
Call me ignorant but I had no idea you couldn’t get your newly braided hair get soaked
Got too-tight braid alopecia and fucking up our draft picks by winning.
Just bill Aspire, bro
Wetball
WET BALL WET KAWHI
Damn so cheap, no wonder…
I think being this rich in a non-contact sport really does something strange to your brain.
Board man sends invoices
locker room looks nice and expensive and all but is clearly designed to maximize social media posts for the team lol. Imagine losing and then being in a room lit up with bright ass lights like influencers halo lights, it looks like a room for an esports team. completely unserious vibe no wonder cp3 felt the way he did about the team and org’s mentality.
10-21
Love to see the comraderie on this Team
Genuine question. Does he get banned or some kind of sanction against him when the Clippers/Aspiration stuff is concluded? I don’t know the history on things like this. Do the players ever receive any heat?
Congrats to Kawhi, But I still hate the Clippers.
