Steve Ballmer– you’ve probably never heard of the guy, but if you’re a Los Angeles Clippers fan, get ready to get a little more familiar with him.

Former Clippers owner Donald Sterling lost his lawsuit against the NBA & its’ owners today, according to a statement made by the Associated Press. The judge on the case ruled against Sterling, allowing his estranged wife, Ms. Shelly Sterling to finally sell the Clippers after an upsetting battle that has gone back & forth for months. Ballmer- who is the former CEO of Microsoft– will be taking their place.

“I can’t believe it’s over. I feel good,” she said. –AP

Neither can we, Shelly. Neither can we.
