GeekWire Radio: L.A. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer on sports technology, streaming games and the future of the fan experience

This week on the GeekWire radio show and podcast: Highlights from our conversation with Steve Ballmer, the L.A. Clippers owner, at the GeekWire Summit in Seattle this past week.

Ballmer has a unique perspective on sports and technology after spending 34 years at Microsoft, including 14 as the tech giant’s CEO, before buying the L.A. Clippers for a record $2 billion in 2014.

Speaking with us at the event, he shared his thoughts on the potential of technology to improve the fan experience at home and in the arena; the power of social media in the professional sports; the prospects for the NBA returning to Seattle someday; and the key performance indicators he monitors in his role as an NBA owner — starting, of course, with wins.
