Jeremiah Budin wrote:“We love young Austin, but we don’t want to create a situation where every player is just bringing his child into work every day,” noted Clippers president Steve Ballmer. “We had a policy at Microsoft, that you could only bring your child in once per year, and that worked out nicely.”
Rivers is currently averaging 8.1 points per game on 43% shooting. He has apparently been embraced by the entire team and its staffers, who are displeased by Ballmer’s decision.
In the 2012-13 season, the Clipper players brought their kids to the locker room before. It helped present a family vibe to the team, while ignoring all the on-court dramatics. With Doc Rivers on tow, everything is in disarray, with the championship as their only concern. Clippers are forgetting who they once were.
