The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Brooklyn Nets at home on Monday night, and at halftime the team unveiled a new mascot that looks somewhat like a toucan.
But the real story of Monday night was Clippers' owner Steve Ballmer, who used a trampoline to successfully dunk a basketball in slacks and a polo during the halftime ceremony.
In a surprise to nobody, Ballmer went absolutely bonkers after throwing down the two-handed jam.
