Wow, this article is sheer ignorance. The commissioner of the NBA did not say the NBA was going to take away the team or force him to sell. I’m surprised Shapiro would do something this stupid.

That’s what I don’t get. What does “banned for life” mean as applied to an owner if it doesn’t mean he has to sell the team? In what other way besides owning the team is he a part of the league?
