About this episode

In the season one finale of Podcast P, our special guest, Clippers Governor Steve Ballmer reveals the first time he met Paul George and gives insight to his early days at Microsoft. Steve shares the story of how he bought the Clippers, the early ups and downs of being the Governor, and how his leadership skills at Microsoft helped him with the team. Then Steve breaks down the reason he gets so crazy sitting courtside at the Clippers games and why it took so long to build the Intuit Dome. Finally, PG and Steve discuss the current state of the NBA, and we get some words of motivation for the upcoming Clippers season.
