Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer Badly Missed A Fist Bump Last Night

Nobody seems to cheer harder for the Clippers than their owner, Steve Ballmer. We’re not really sure why people get such a delight in his dorky exuberance, especially since the former CEO of Microsoft overpaid to snatch the franchise from the clutches of the odious former owner.

Still, we’re just as culpable in promoting Ballmer as a buffoonish rich white guy, one who has a serious case of CRD. Still, as the above bungled bump illustrates, he brings it on himself.

The best part about the exchange, as the longer GIF by @_MarcusD_ shows, is how Ballmer’s friend awkwardly tries a follow-up. He ends up just fist bumping Ballmer’s shoulder because the LA owner has already turned back to the action. This whole thing was as excruciating to watch as when your dad tried to fist bump your friends when you were in high school.
