And lose $20,000 or more per game? I wonder how long that boycott would last.

The story ain’t over. I smell a lawsuit against the NBA, TMZ and some of the other actors in this recording of a private conversation.

I don’t doubt that these shorts-wearing millionaire thugs WOULD have walked.
It would have cost them millions in forfeited games and would set the entire NBA back to the level of professional wrestling, but hey. Whatever.
If they would have cut off their noses to spite their face - they would have.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
There was an opportunity for the players to take the moral high ground but they opted for drive-by threats.

Bull they are greedy, and who cares, if they never played another game I’d be thrilled.

What is the racial makeup of the NBA again?
To: SeekAndFind
When are the players going to boycott demanding diversity in race?
Oh, that's right its about ability and not quotas.

Yawn. I’d get more excited about this if I hadn’t heard the statements that too many NBA players make about whites.
Can’t we all just get along?

Basketball died when Michael Jordan retired. Very few teams have any class at all, most are just illiterate thugs who have a really tough time with pronunciation while being interviewed.

I think you’re missing a zero or two in your estimate.
We’re in the Playoffs. Each game is worth millions to players, coaches, owners, networks and advertisers.

If I were Sterling I would take on a scorched earth policy and do whatever I could to tear down the team, the NBA, the sponsors, and the players. Such rank hypocrisy.
