Clippers unveiling new direct-to-consumer viewing option (Clippervision)

All that said, this was Balmer's baby since the day he bought the team basically, so there's definitely an element of make Steve happy going on.

I didn't give Ballmer enough credit. He knew direct-to-consumer was happening well before most other owners did. However, it did end up taking him seven years to make it a reality.

Uh... yeah. This was an interesting time (figuring out if the existing League Pass product could somehow accommodate this right away). Luckily, the Clippers were in theory going to be good that year and the RSN paid up so Balmer got off the idea until it could actually be built.
