Patrick Beverley’s Bombshell Allegation Against Steve Ballmer Resurfaces, Shaking Kawhi Leonard Drama to Its Core

Ever wonder what happens when an NBA player trades a fatter paycheck for a promise that sounds too good to be true? Patrick Beverley, the scrappy point guard formerly of the Los Angeles Clippers, laid it all bare in his Pat Bev Pod back in 2024. He revealed that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer promised him 94 basketball courts sprinkled around L.A. as part of a deal that ended up being… well, a bit of a letdown. Beverley took a smaller contract with the Clippers over a bigger offer from Sacramento, counting on Ballmer’s promise — a vision so wild it could’ve been a mic drop moment. But the courts? Still nowhere to be found. Interestingly, this old bone of contention has popped back into the limelight amid fresh controversies swirling around the Clippers’ camp, with Kawhi Leonard and Ballmer at the heart of it all. Beverley’s journey through the NBA, marked by hustle across several teams and over $82 million in earnings, adds layers to this tale that’s both fascinating and a little frustrating.
