A typical press conference — even one of this stature — is usually somewhat quiet and uneventful, but not when Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Steve Ballmer is involved.

The former Microsoft CEO was as rowdy as can be over the introductions of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Ballmer couldn’t help himself as he cheered with excitement and screamed when his players entered the room.

“It’s pretty cool. It’s pretty damn cool!” he said clapping enthusiastically, before yelling out an enormous “WOOOO!”

Ballmer’s excitement is somewhat justified as trading for George and signing Leonard in connected moves was the coup of the NBA offseason. The fact that the the moves were executed several weeks ago did little to wane Ballmer’s spirit.

“I’m PUMPED to say hello as Clippers to Paul and Kawhi,” Ballmer said, imploring the viewers to “get up if you are as psyched as I am!!!”
