    That brought all kinds of weird scenarios to mind.

    And thank you, I don't think I'd heard of this.

    so now this bs with Mark Cuban. what a load of shit. he basically said what every white person in america thinks. and now he has to apologize to trayvon martin's family because somehow everytime someone mentions a black kid in a hoodie we have to apologize to them?

    Not just what white people think, it's what everyone is wired to think. Everyone profiles. It's human instinct. I don't know why people pretend they don't do it.

    And according to ADT commericials, your more likely to get attacked by a white person in a hoodie.

    Seems like way too simple of a move.....they must have something up their sleeves!

    i'm hoping they've come to their senses and realized they will never be able to field a team if they remain owners...because that's the reality

    i heard some dude last week say on endless boring coverage of this debacle that any other person involved in the contract with sterling will give up any rights to any shares in the clippers at the same time as sterling does.. he sells, they sell...

    What a farce. $2B for one of the worst franchises in pro sports history. This is the equivalent of someone crashing a 1997 Mazda Miata with 197,000 miles on it into your front porch and then selling it for $470,000. on Ebay.

    The previous highest sale of a NBA franchise was six weeks ago when the Bucks sold for $550M. They estimate that the capital gains tax on the Clippers sale will be over $500M alone.

    He'll have 2 billion dollars and squads of lawyers. It will take time and it won't be a billion but I think in the end the nba will pay him. It might be a settlement but they just might lose this case. Ridiculous I know.
