Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer just bought the LA Clippers for $2 billion, the LA Times is reporting.

After former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life, it seems that everyone has been jumping at the chance to buy the team. Last week, he agreed to let his estranged wife, Shelly, sell the team.

Earlier this week, TMZ reported that former Ballmer met with Shelley on Sunday afternoon at her mansion in Malibu, California. And later, ESPN confirmed the meeting.

And earlier today, Forbes reported that Ballmer made an offer to buy the team for $1.8 billion.
