Steve Ballmer got suspended by the NBA because of a podcast and a jumbotron corruption scandal

Steve Ballmer, owner of the LA Clippers, has been suspended by the NBA for one year following a scandal involving a suspicious $28 million endorsement deal for player Kawhi Leonard that allegedly involved no actual endorsing work. The controversy was highlighted when Ballmer denied the team's involvement in the deal during an ESPN interview last September. The Clippers will also forfeit five draft picks as part of the league's punishment.
