There’s no other person who is much more excited for the Los Angeles Clippers than Steve Ballmer. 

The owner of the club didn’t hide his extreme optimism for the Clippers in approaching the upcoming season. 

“Boy, I’m really excited about our team,” Ballmer said, via ClutchPoints’ Tomer Azarly. “The sky’s the limit for our team… 

“Of course, you’ve gotta have a little bit of good luck to win the Larry O’Brien trophy, which is what we’d really like.”

Last season served as a rubbish one for Los Angeles after failing to secure a postseason post in back-to-back Play-in games against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the New Orleans Pelicans. 

But the next 2022-2023 season offers a really high motivation for them to finally obtain a coveted title. 

With Ivica Zubac returning for long-term, former All-star John Wall committing, and the dynamic one-two punch superstar wings of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George assumed to be ready, the Clippers are now widely expected as a top-tier team amongst the league’s championship contenders. 

Barring no setbacks and unfortunate injuries, the Clippers are arguably favorites, and laser-focused to be at the top of the basketball world.
