Forgive me if I’m wrong but I thought the nba had no evidence of tampering a few weeks ago 🤔

Was a leak of inaccurate information. The league denounced it right after it came out.

I read about this. So the investigation was still ongoing, and the NBA’s final findings on September 2 were broader: the league concluded that the Clippers organization improperly initiated and facilitated Leonard’s endorsement relationships with companies that did business with the Clippers, helped arrange those opportunities, paid certain personal expenses, and failed to properly report requests for outside compensation. So the NBA did not ultimately find that Ballmer simply secretly paid Kawhi, but it did find that the Clippers involvement in arranging Leonard’s outside compensation constituted the punishment.

SAS repeatedly said he gave ballmer the benefit of the doubt when this started last year, and ignored the evidence Pablo provided. Now he’s calling out ballmer when it’s socially acceptable and he knows the nba won’t yell at him

He still isn’t calling him out… he is saying Ballmer made a “stupid” move. Let’s use that in a court of law every time a crime is committed. Stephen A, Ramona are all shills

STEPHEN A. SMITH is all over the map. One day he says one thing, next day says another. He is the main reason I don’t watch ESPN! And he rarely calls out his own kind which most of troubles originate from. I have never seen sports in this kind of shape. Fights, off the field crimes, violence towards women or children, bankruptcies, multiple derelict children. All stemming from 1 race of people!

SAS was calling Kawhi the best player the year after he won with TOR and now he’s the worst superstar.

And
Not seeing his familiar excitement cheering on his team will be missed
