Summary

Last Friday, the Clippers officially broke ground on their future arena (the Intuit Dome), set to debut in Inglewood during the 2024-2025 NBA season. As to be expected, their insanely rich, insanely hyper, and occasionally insanely "I said too much" owner Steve Ballmer was at the center of the action. As such, the ceremony was predictably huge on spectacle, and social media wasn't shy about pointing out how bored Kawhi Leonard and Paul George looked while watching much of the pageantry. Then again, that's how Ballmer rolls, and as long as Clipper fans enjoyed it (which they probably did) and the building's great (which it undoubtedly will), these kinda silly aesthetics are irrelevant. The bottom line is the Clippers will have a new home enhancing their identity in L.A. However, Ballmer also took a few unsolicited shots at Laker fans feeling insecure about the Clippers boldly planting their new flag, which feels like a potential repeat of past mistakes poking the bear. Ballmer's not entirely wrong that some Laker fans shouting "I don't care about the Clippers!!!" feels "protest too much." Frankly, Laker fans should care. This team is good, well run and finally has an owner who wants to win. This franchise is no longer a laughingstock walkover. But until the Clippers have WAY more accomplishments to their name, better to just leave the Lakers alone, rather than risk another "Streetlights over Spotlights" embarrassment. And finally, during a great interview with Marc Stein, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gave his blessing to LeBron James to eventually pass him on the NBA all-time scoring list. The Kamenetzkys discuss what this says about Kareem as a person and a basketball legend, and what people can learn from this attitude. (In the meantime, the entire interview provides another reminder that Kareem is the GOAT of Impressive people.) Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Clippers broke ground on a new arena and holy crap, was the ceremony Ballmer-esque!!! SEGMENT 2: Ballmer took a few shots at insecure Laker fans. Not a wise idea. SEGMENT 3: Kareem's comments about LeBron. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
