The Athletic reporter and former ESPN contributor Pablo Torre broke the news in the podcast program PTFO yesterday that there was a yin and yang contract between Clippers star Kawhi Leonard (hereinafter referred to as Xiaoka) and his boss Ballmer to avoid the NBA salary cap. He used the postal endorsement contract to get an extra $28 million (4 years) and also obtained $20 million worth of company stocks; and Ballmer bought $50 million worth of stocks at a premium of $11 per share to invest.

Today, Ballmer was a guest on the ESPN program "SportsCenter" and had a conversation with the well-known female reporter Ramona Shelburne, responding to the suspected signing of a Yin-Yang contract.

Then, Pablo Torre, the whistleblower of this incident, pushed Ballmer and Xiaoka to "reconcile" the details as follows:

Hi, PTFO can now confirm that, as @BostonSportsBSJ first reported, Aspiration gave Kawhi (Xiaoka) a secret additional agreement worth $20 million.

Plus Kawhi (Xiao Ka)'s secret endorsement contract worth $28 million without having to appear: that's $48 million.

PTFO previously reported that Steve Ballmer's personal investment in Aspiration was $50 million.
