    Kobe also said f*****. As far as I can tell, he still gets 30 mil a year. Sterling always been a douche. But other than a fine, I can't see anything that will happen to him unless Sharpton starts picketing his residence.

    I actually was trying to figure this out too, but from what I read online... his ex wife runs the business side of the Clippers.

    She's still his wife, at least legally speaking.

    The NBA has wanted Sterling out as an owner for a long time. Not for being a racist but for gaming the system by purposely fielding a sh-t squad to get subsidies and using the team as corporate tax write off.

    I think some sh-t went down behind closed doors because he handed the reigns over to the 'wife' and she's done a great job in the Clippers recent success.

    Anyway, I think the end result is gonna be something like a fine, some bs community outreach program, and a permaban of Sterling to all NBA related fuctions and events.

    Sterling got defensive. His wife was taking pictures with other men. Things got heated.

    If the wife wasn't a gold digger, I might have slight pity for him as a man. But that not being the case, fck the world he lives in. When it's out, it's out.

    Private things should remain private. Sterling knew that but somewhere he made the wrong choice on silicone. Karma leaked.

    Magic should get front row season tickets. Just unbelievable. A sale of the team is in order, forced or otherwise. hell, the fans should bail on season tickets next year just to see if they can make dude sell. Maybe Permaban as suggested would work.

    The players just have to be "you gotta be kidding me. " Talk about a distraction.

    Now the Clippers are going to win the championships. This will motivate them to play harder.

    I couldn't listen to it past a minute. It came across as an argument between a controlling sugar daddy and someone that isn't grown up.

    Clippers only have Turkoglu and Redick? Time to sign 3 Troy Daniels from a D-League team and win the 'ship.

    Donald Sterling To Receive NAACP Lifetime Achievement Award

    Donald Sterling, the Los Angeles Clippers owner who was reportedly caught on tape making racist comments to his girlfriend, is set to receive a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP in May, according to the organization's website.

    TMZ released audio on Friday night that included Sterling telling his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, that he does not want her to bring black people to Clippers games or pose with black people for pictures on Instagram.

    "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people," he is heard saying. "Do you have to?"

    Sterling and the Clippers later released a statement to TMZ, saying, of the tape, "we do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered."

    As Deadspin noted, this isn't the first time the NAACP has recognized Sterling -- or that it's been guilty of poor timing. In 2009, Sterling received a prior Lifetime Achievement Award, just after ex-Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor filed a lawsuit against the NBA, the Clippers, and Sterling, alleging racial discrimination during his tenure.

    With the right PR team, all awards can be bought.

    R.I.P. Clippers 2013-2014 championship hopes. The ultimate de-motivator for a team.

    Meanwhile, fingers crossed on Dallas-SAS (2-1) and Grizz-OKC (2-1).
