VIDEO: Steve Ballmer amped up during introductory pep-rally

Has any man ever been so happy to part with $2 billion?

However, for that princely sum, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer did land ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers while usurping former owner  - and reputed racist - Donald Sterling in the process, so there's plenty for him to be excited about.

In his introductory pep-rally, Ballmer went all-out, no holds barred, as his excitement for the Clippers and the NBA really shined through.

As a reference, Ballmer's animated presentation style is something of a calling card for the former tech mogul.
