    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.

    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

    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.
