No doubt Sterling will go down fighting, but man... I'm surprised he went this far without even polling the owners. Laying down the law.

That bit caught me a bit by surprise, I would have thought he would have made sure he could act before leaping towards such sudden action.

EDIT: Just give the mic to Jeff!

What does that even mean to ban him for life? They can't just take the team from him so realistically it just means he can't come to his own games or something? I don't get it. 2.5 million is 0.4% of the Clippers's net worth as a franchise.

He can't go to games and we can assume they're going to attempt to seize the team, sell it, and give him the money they make.

EDIT: They're certainly going to go for more than that. Probably well north of $1B.

It's privately owned by Sterling but he gave away certain rights to the Commish in the NBA constitution. The real question is if those powers really extend this far (without a vote by the owners). The lawyers are going to have fun on each side.

I was under the impression that the maximum possible fine is 1 million.So I'm surprised it's actually 2.5 mil
not surprised about the ban ,I don't know how they gonna enforce it tho,what if the guy just comes in with bodyguards.
I guess it's up to the people to mob him than lol

"Are you considering more African American ownership?"

What a stupid question. They're interested in whomever has the most freaking money, regardless of skin color.

I wonder if Doc Rivers saying he wouldn't come back influenced his decision. Silver said he didn't fully decide until today. Docs decision was likely a precursor of a chilling effect upon the Clippers. It would become a black hole of the NBA while Sterling was there, forcing extreme action from the NBA.

Clippers are worth $575M according to Forbes. They can't seize the team, they can only suspend him. I don't know how they are going to enforce that, or whether it's even legal to ban him from going to games.

I thought something similar. If someone as prominent as Rivers is willing to basically torpedo the franchise, the league wasn't going to wait for Sterling to die before getting a new owner. That plus the sponsors pulling made it dangerous for the other owners: revenue sharing is a real thing.

EDIT: The Clippers will fetch, way, way more than that. The Kings just went for something like that price, LAC is a much better team with a more lucrative market. It's going to be over double that. As for banning him, we don't know what the league bylaws say. From what Silver's said, it sounds like they can force him out via vote by seizing the team and selling.

I don't think so. All Doc Rivers did was create even more publicity around the Sterling case. Could you imagine how the league would look after all this if sterling DID stay? I mean yeah, he's always been racist and there's been a little proof here and there, but it never got the widespread attention like it has now. More people knowing about it = more people upset = bigger shitstorm.

Realistically I suppose the loss of sponsors was a much bigger problem for the NBA.

Absolutely. The other owners are not going to like their wallets getting hit because of Sterling, and they would likely act if they have the capacity to do so (and it appears that they certainly do).

So realistically, if he doesn't want to sell the team, no one can make him? Or at least that's what I'd hope. So how is the NBA gonna pressure him from selling his team besides banning him from attending games, which I wasn't aware they could even do. It's nice to hear the phrase BANNED FOR LIFE but he's an owner, not a player, so I have no idea what banned even means in this case.

The other owners can make him sell,If they vote unanimously at the board of governors he can't stay as a owner of that team.
as far as I understood

ok, so who's gonna decide who to sell the team to? They'd need an third party to act in the best interests of Sterling. What's to prevent people from low balling all over?

I'm guessing its just gonna be sold to the highest bidder,idk.I mean if its public it's hard to low ball that hard because people are gonna compete over the ownership.after all this is a cash cow not some random piece of real estate.

True, so if the owners don't vote unanimously, cuz Cuban's already expressed reservations, then this ban pretty much means nothing?

It's only 3/4 votes. They need 22 of the 30 to vote yes.
