The Los Angeles Clippers formally introduced Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and their other additions with a press conference Wednesday. Owner Steve Ballmer, known for being a bit on the eccentric side, put on quite a show to open it up.
Check out the Clippers’ head honcho going all out with the most enthusiastic opener we’ve ever seen in any presser.

This didn’t actually happen, but it’s hilariously on point.
Kawhi about walked out of the press conference because of how much excitement Ballmer came out with.

Ballmer is clearly 100-percent jacked up for what his team was able to accomplish this offseason. And we are so here for that. He should be.
