[20Four]

Can anyone give a link? Would be greatly appreciated, I don't have NBATV at my apartment.
I think its on www.nba.com too

[Demitri98]

My cable doesn't even offer NBA TV. :banghead: :rant

[Connor B]

I think its on www.nba.com too

Oh yeah thank you its right there.

[COnDEMnED]

Do you guys have ESPN? I would think they would have some sort of coverage of the interview, if not a live feed themselves. Worst case scenario you can read updates on the bottom?

[DMV2]

My cable doesn't even offer NBA TV. :banghead: :rant
it'll probably be on ESPN as well.

Time Warner gives me NBAtv. :D

[gts]

Also on ESPN
KCBS2 or KCAL9 in Socal may have a live feed

[Kakapopo]

How long more?

[SpecialQue]

Why the fvck is this shit taking so long? Lazy-ass Silver. :facepalm

[gts]

over/under 3 million on a fine?

length of suspension? (I'm going lifetime)

[SpecialQue]

NBA operating on Latino time. Scheduled for 2, actually starts at 3.

[gts]

on now..

edit I wonder if Donald is watching...

He's already lost a ton of money.

Serves him right.

[DonDadda59]

This whole thing is a joke. Just a bad soap opera :facepalm

Word is he'll get fined $5 mil and suspended indefinitely. That's pocket change to Sterling. He paid $3 mil in a housing discrimination suit before. Won't change a thing.

[fpliii]

BANNED FOR LIFE :lol

[derb2k2]

OH SH****t:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

[Young X]

Banned for life :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[Wally450]

Shit going down right now! Banned for life and $2.5 million fine!

[Derka]

Wow. Gonna try to force him out. Magic Johnson is dancing in circles right now.

Very much an overreaction, but there you have it.

[gts]

Silver to force a sale of the team too. :lol

He's visibly mad...

[derb2k2]

that is some sick sh*t right there. Damn:coleman:

[Calabis]

Damn ether from Commish.....ouch.

[r15mohd]

i can bet Sterling's lawyers will be handing the NBA a nice lawsuit for the moves they just made...this one's going to turn and bite the NBA in the arse

[MostHated305]

Not an overraction. Very much deserved.

:coleman:

[fpliii]

They need 3/4 vote to remove him.

[kwajo]

Good.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Strong but deserved action.

[Done_And_Done]

Justice served!

[Derka]

Not an overraction. Very much deserved.

:coleman:

We disagree here then.

I don't support the man at all, but I don't like reactionary overreaching that stems from public outry and not a geniune desire to remove intolerance from the game.

[gts]

Clipper fans can breathe a sigh of relief.. should be enough sanctions to keep the players and coaching staff intact

[UK2K]

Pay the $20 fine, sell the team to your best bud for $10 billion dollars, and laugh at the league from your private island.

[ihoopallday]

i can bet Sterling's lawyers will be handing the NBA a nice lawsuit for the moves they just made...this one's going to turn and bite the NBA in the arse

NBA lawyers > Sterling's lawyers. Plus, the majority of the other owners have strong influence on this decision.

[DonDadda59]

Probably. Will drag out in the courts for a long time. But at least now the Clippers and fans can focus on Basketball and not this distraction.

And I was not expecting Silver to throw down the hammer like that. Thought it would be a relative slap on the wrist. Commish skeletor weighs like 20 lbs but 15 of that is balls :applause:

... why do you keep posting this or variants of it

He's rich dude, get over it

[Bl]

Justice served!


this some trayvon revenge shit ?:coleman:

[gts]

i can bet Sterling's lawyers will be handing the NBA a nice lawsuit for the moves they just made...this one's going to turn and bite the NBA in the arsehe'll be hard pressed to do so... when he signed on as an owner he signed on to live by the decisions of the commish..

not saying he won't try but it won't be easy for him, he basically signed the rights to file a lawsuit against the NBA away when he joined the league

[Loneshot]

white people mad

[fpliii]

white people mad
Nah, I'm white, and not mad. I don't know if he'll be voted out though, 3/4 is 22 owners, I think more than 7 will vote to keep him. Could be wrong.

[Bl]

depends if the ballots are opened or closed

[r15mohd]

they acted within 96 hours of this going public...that only shows that the NBA lawyers arent as competent as it seems. this decision has so many flaws, the NBA can be slapped back hard...that's all i'm hinting at.

the NBA felt they needed to make a stand...i think it was too quick a judgement made by the comish

[aboss4real24]

WHITE PPL R MAD LMAO

[BrainDead]

Adam Silver is a closet racist.

pretty sure those contracts to join the NBA had nothing to do with private opinion made public without his consent. like Cuban said, slippery slope

[Young X]

Props to Adam Silver :applause: :applause: :applause:

How about we just make sure noone racist owns a team?

It doesn't matter what the owner's skin color is.

Don't make black ppl look so dumb. I'm embarrased.

[Adam Silver]

Haha

A black man paying Sterling whatever price he names is justice?

[Darius]

Adam Silver would be a pretty big fool if he didn't make certain he the votes before putting his credibility on the line...

[fpliii]

What the ****? How old are you?

[JordanL]

Adam Silver would be a pretty big fool if he didn't make certain he the votes before putting his credibility on the line...

That was my thought. My eyebrows completely shot up at that statement. He either has already counted votes via phone calls, or he's playing VERY high powered publicity games to exert pressure.

[The-Legend-24]

People still talking about this? lel.

[DeuceWallaces]

Great day for the league. There will be no court action if he gets his 75% from owners.

[aboss4real24]

Haha

A black man paying Sterling whatever price he names is justice?


Justice has alredy been done

Sterling getting 500 million profit is nuthn hes a multi billionaire

[aboss4real24]

What the ****? How old are you?

Y Do U care?

Just like in congress!

He has the votes...trust me.

Nikkas still butthurt their ass was getting beat by the white man. :oldlol:

[Derka]

Not sure how Sterling can take action against the NBA here. The owners help write that Constitution and agree to abide by what it says. He's gotta do what it says.

That Stiviano girl, however, better run for the hills or find a hole to hide in.

[MUGEN]

Silver doing work! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[aboss4real24]

Ever herd of white slaves ?

Yeah, I'd be terrified if I were her. He's gonna rip her for everything she owns and ever will own in civil court if he was unaware he was being recorded.

[aboss4real24]

I'm not white. :oldlol:

Nikkas always acting like the victims, u were slaves, get over it.

Never sed u were white i just asked u if u ever herd of white slaves, since u sed white beat blacks

You think so?


If you thought whites are racist against blacks, just wait until America is a majority Hispanic country.

[Laker4Lyfe]

Yeah, I'd be terrified if I were her. He's gonna rip her for everything she owns and ever will own in civil court if he was unaware he was being recorded.

1. He knew she was recording him.
2. Everything she owns he paid for.

:lol

[NumberSix]

1. He knew she was recording him.
2. Everything she owns he paid for.

:lol
Because SHE says so?

[Laker4Lyfe]

Because SHE says so?

That's why there is over 100 hours of recordings because he knew.

If he didn't know do you think he wouldn't be fighting this right now? :lol

[NumberSix]

That's why there is over 100 hours of recordings because he knew.

If he didn't know do you think he wouldn't be fighting this right now? :lol
Let's see if he does.


I'm not claiming to know whether he did or didn't know. I'm not gonna simply take her word that he did though.
