I actually thought the Clippers were gonna win it all and be marketed as the team that persisted in spite of a racist slave master. Keep an eye on them next year to win the chip.
I think Clippers got HOSED by the refs the same days the 2 big developments happened - he did that interview and he told them to fck off, when it comes to the selling thing.
This will drag out, literally, until the old man passes away. Headed for divorce court now, guaranteeing at least 3 years of debate on it. People won't see him at games for a few months and they'll completely forget about it.
Mark Cuban is a media genius... he knows what he is doing here... unless the teams all vote to kick HIM out of the NBA now, they sure can't do it to Sterling. Sterling says "ex-gf, I don't want you bringing black dudes to my games" in the privacy of his own home" - BOOM, let's fire him. Then Cuban, on NATIONAL TV, says "Coming to games? Sheeit, I don't even want to walk on the same side of PUBLIC STREET with anyone with black skin and a hoodie".
Cuban's statements are worse, hands down. Also they're public, way worse there too. There won't be outrage for him. Maybe he's doing this on purpose - since Sterling inevitably has enough dirt to sink a few of these owners (maybe cuban too) - maybe cuban is doing this to provide some cover for sterling? very shrewd move and unless silver is on tv calling for Cuban's suspension tomorrow, he is seriously undermined and Cuban may never even have to join that vote.
