[Murray] Ballmer: “Somebody once told me that you never really own a basketball team. You just take care of it for the fans until the next person comes along and takes care of it for the fans… hopefully we have an asset that the community can value for…decades to come.”

Best caretaker in sports.
Ballmer just buy the fucken lakers too. You got the money lmao
That’s a great concept but the fact that you can move cities hurts that.
I still cannot believe this team just let PG13 walk. They’re one ‘normal’ Kawhi injury from being in the mix for a top 7 pick.
Ok I thought it was gonna be Smash Mouth for a sec
And make billions of dollars along the way, for the fans.
Ah so he will be sharing the increase in share value over time with the community. That’s really good of him.
Steve with the patek phillipe quotes, his jeweler prob told him that one.
Jesus Christ with the Ballmer propaganda, we get it!

I remember wanting to be a clippers fan.
Then, Darius Miles’ knee decided to bend the other way and that was it.
But you *can* own your own Hawaiian island, I hear…
Well Kawhi is a robot, so I assume he’s just waiting on the tech to fix his knee and then he plays into his 50’s.

Where do I find friends that give tips on owning basketball teams?
Sports teams are billionaire’s play things for corporate sponsorships. Fans may have some influence, but not nearly as much as they want to believe about themselves.
Someone tell that to John Fischer.
He’s just quoting the Patek Phillipe marketing line
Jerry Reinsdorf
Ah nothing like some rich guy bullshit to start the day
They make it sound like it’s so hard to be a billionaire 😂🤣
Can he buy the fucking mariners?
“Just because we own these teams doesn’t mean they belong to us.” Rebecca Welton (Ted Lasso)
That literally everything. We all fucking die. You can’t take it with you.
Yea a custodian is the word
This is so pretentious and lame. Of course you own the damn team. You can decide who to sign and not sign, you can sit courtside whenever you want, you can move the franchise. I guess I can’t blame Ballmer for being mega wealthy and buying the team, I would too if I could, but I hope I wouldn’t try to bullshit people about it
Reminds me of Ted lasso. “It’s their (the fans) team, we’re just borrowing it for a little while.” If Ted lasso said it it’s probably a decent way to feel.
“You just take care of it” and get to collect a SHIT TON OF MONEY from those fans
Dude you own a fucking sports team. Stop trying to down play it like you are humble servant. You have to be a billionaire just to be considered.
Really wish Howard Schultz knew that…
Is this him admitting that I own part of the team as a fan? I haven’t been gett
