Haven’t watched an NBA game since the mid 80s and I am fine. It could go away tomorrow and I would sleep great.

Why did she do this? 15 minutes of fame? Blackmail because he was going to stop paying her bills?
There is a huge untold story here.

There’s no quick and easy route to the MLB. It takes years of hard work which is a good thing in my opinion.

Bailey Howell from Middleton, Tennessee, was the last class act from the NBA that I remember.

Fools. Sterling’s comments were reprehensible. But he’s worth about $1.9B and is a fighter with a great legal team. This is not going to end well for those attacking him...

No need to go all the way to Thailand. Brothels are legal in Nevada.

I’ll bet if there were secret recordings made of the players candid comments about race we’d hear a racism beyond compare. I’m with Limbaugh’s caller: this was a set up.

That Kevin Johnson they mentioned in the article, is that the same Mayor of Sacramento who is spending all his time working to keep the Kings, and get the public to build a Arena. They all are crooked and rub each others palms

There are exceptions: Dirk Novitsky was the Mavs is a class act. Probably more of an exception that proves the rule, though...

IIRC, she is already being sued for what is effectively embezzlement/theft of over $1M...

What’s to stop an ex or former “friend” from taping someone and taking it to their workplace?

This is thought Police on steroids.

do you know what you are implying here? Was this girl basically a whore?

Is this girl sort of in a Lewinsky situation, in that, what decent man would ever want her, after all this scandalous behavior????

I smell a huge lawsuit against the NBA. There is still something of law about taping a conversation and free speech.

The NBA didn't tape Sterling. They heard the tapes on TV. So he has no claim against them for that. And "free speech" is a right the Government can't infringe; Sterling voluntarily signed the NBA Agreement, which gives the Commissioner carte blanche to punish him for "conduct not in the best interests of the NBA."

He may have a lawsuit against whoever taped him, but not against the NBA.
