LOL!
The infamous XP “BSOD”...and so many freepers still love XP!
Cheer up kid, the SuperSonics are returning soon enough.
Prob’ly call them the “Sub-Sonics” .....
I assume it is because, unlike Bill Gates, Ballmer didn’t really have to work that hard for his billions, so he has no real appreciation for it.
I wonder if Ballmer is getting bailed out in part by others to avoid the major lawsuits that would come if Magic Johnson, the guy who first showed up with an offer for the team and was in the pictures with the mistress that she tweeted and provoked Sugar Daddy Sterling with, wouldn’t get the team.
$2billion.
Sterling aint so crazy after all...
Looks like Sterling got thrown into the briar patch.
If Sterling is being punished, I wish someone would punish me twice as hard.
The idea and practice of carrying over so called royal titles after service doesn’t increase my feelings or opinions of such individuals. Gives me the impression the person is/was good and worthy for all times. Certainly not true for so many who have done poorly and even evil while holding such title. For me once out of title/office no more public honor puffing.
Noooooooo ... and he said he wouldn’t take them away from us.
Just popped in to say the Lakers were recently assessed at around $1.3 million. So, yes, it is not about money. Given what the team will bring in revenue, even in 20 years, the team will look high at $2mil.
$8.99 an hour?
Who really cares about the Clippers? They have no history, like the Lakers do. The only reason anyone cares about them is because the Lakers stink so much right now. Once they’re good again, the Clippers will go right back to being an afterthought in LA.
UNLESS....Ballmer makes a big splash and does something like bring LeBron James to LA.
Good move re LeBron.
I got to Clippers games sometimes, not too often. But there will be a buzz about them, I’m assuming.
Unless Balmer runs the Clippers like Microsoft.
I quite agree. But that’s not standard protocol, and ex-presidents are frequently addressed for the rest of their lives as “Mr. President,” despite this not being technically correct.
If I were an ex-president, I would take enormous pride in returning to being just plain Mr. Logan. That is the essence of republicanism.
Sterling said he is suing the NBA, so I don’t think the Clippers are sold yet...
A guy who has 2 billion to spend on a team I guess could take it anywhere he wants. But maybe the NBA will have something to say about it. Dunno ... but it’d be a mistake to take it to Seattle ....
