The Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer recently surprised all the fans at the Crypto.com arena. It was the last game of the season for the Los Angeles Clippers against the Houston Rockets, and Ballmer decided to spread some happiness.
The billionaire decided to pick up the tabs on concessions of everyone present in the arena. It was an act of great humbleness by the franchise owner who made the nights of 19,000 people in the arena happy. It is unclear what the final tab amounts to, but given the number of people attending the game, it would have been a considerable amount.

The Houston Rockets star Boban Marjanovic also made the fans happy in his way. If the visiting team missed two consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter of a Clippers home game, the fans get free food. In this case, Boban intentionally missed a free throw to win the Clippers fans some chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A.
Steve has been the major factor in the success of the Clippers in recent years. He bought the franchise ten years ago from poor management who did not care about their team’s success. Ever since then, he has transformed the franchise into a championship contender with some of the best players in the league.
