VIDEO: Steve Ballmer and Kawhi Leonard Totally Botched Their Handshake During Clippers Introduction
Kawhi Leonard is back at it again with the antics. During his introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Clippers, his attempt at a handshake with owner Steve Ballmer went very badly. Low-energy Kawhi meets high-energy Ballmer. What did you expect?
The whole scene between the two is just completely awkward. Ballmer is doing this very powerful and excited clap while Kawhi slowly walks out of his chair. Ballmer goes in for a handshake and Kawhi goes for the shoulder grab, and we get an awkward shoulder-, arm-, grab-hug thing.
Then, of course, Kawhi does his laugh and Ballmer does some sort of weirdly excited facial expression. The whole situation is just a lot, and the internet is loving it.
There's literally no way to explain this.
This moment is likely to set up a season of greatness on the court and continued meme-worthy moments off of it.
