According to the LA Times, Steve Ballmer, best known for his long tenure as the CEO of Microsoft, is reportedly set to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team for $2 billion. Previously, he had been tipped to bid $1.8 billion for the team. This is not Ballmer’s first time basketball rodeo. He previously tried to keep the Seattle Supersonics in the city before the NBA squad moved to Oklahoma City to become the Thunder. Ballmer later tried to buy the Sacramento Kings and move them to Seattle. Ballmer has indicated that if successful in buying the Clippers, they would remain in L.A.
