The NBA made a HUGE mistake here

This is going to blow up in their faces for sure.  First of all, under the NBA constitution it looks like he has no right to do this.  Second, what's the point of opening the entire league up to this liability?  When the market would have definitely rooted sterling out on it's own.  Cmon, nobody will sponsor or play for him.  You dont take 12 million bucks and become a billionaire by being dumb, he would have definitely sold the team eventually.  The recording was probably illegal.....that's kind of a big point.  Had he said this in a public forum im not even sure the NBA has a right to do this.  Now it's like when a superstar wont resign with you, everyone knows you have to trade him so the price goes down.  Same thing will happen with the sale of this franchise....the NFL and NBA are going down

First of all the recording was made public so it is free game. second of all Adam Silver is a lawyer, not saying he wont fight this however he will not win. Everything that went down today is a huge success for the NBA and people like you who defend Sterling should be thrown off covers for life

you're a moron

The recording was made public?  So if the cops bust your door down and find your happy child porn without a warrant I guess since they made it public you get to fry...Idiot

Well I dont think the cops would break down my door without a warrant, and if they have a warrant and saw it its called plain view and you could be charged with it. You dont really need a warrant to use something against someone if its blasted on the internet. 

stop talking like you know what you are talking about.  you cant record someone without their knowledge bozo

I made my point and now I will exit your pathetic thread so you can continue living your pathetic life.

U mad bro?????

Like Cuban said.............it's a very slippery slope when you mandate a sale of private property. However it is the owners who are going to force this sale, of which Sterling is a part of obviously. All the owners agreed to the NBA constitution when coming into the league. So basically what Silver did was set the stage for the owners to turn on and eat one of their one. This will be fun to watch now

Between Sterling and the Playoffs, all the freaks are coming out of the woodwork

Dixie cups are suppose to be half and half for maximum dessert efficiency!! 

agree 100% .its seems like this forum contains all the idiots that dont understans the obvious.taping private phone cons is a crime anywhere around the world at least in civilazed countries.he already has dozens of lawyers working on it and ppl involved as well as the nba gonna cry out loud soon.thats not the end thats for sure

That is not true. It depends on the state some states are on party states where only one person needs knowledge of the recording and others are two party states where both persons must have knowledge of the recording.

One* party states. Depends where it was recorded and that's states law.

that's true except cali is a two party law state.  Fail

the recording was probably illegal...??  

Bucky may possibly be the biggest idiot in Covers history.  Backwoods idiot who knows nothing about ANYTHING.  Sounds like some big black guy is his stepdad now and an even BIGGER black guy stole his girl from him.  Makes me laugh....so now all of a sudden this person is a Klan member.  Get a life Bucky you low life scum bucket.

i will darn your behind up.  im tougher, smarter, better looking than you so how is that for the master race?

LVCAPPER, you are a moron.Our freedom of speech is what has made this country great since the days of segregation. To say anyone should be banned for an idiotic thing they say because it is what you believe is true socialism, or douchery.

Bucky...quit crying bro.  You're a major loser and will never amount to anything.  All you can do is sit behind a computer and be something you're not.  All you'll ever be is a poor redneck loser and will never have anyone.  Thank God for computers or you'd be a TOTAL vagina.  I'm so glad you're only 1 percent of the world and the other 99 percent actually have a brain and is not some ignorant behind racist. You and Sterling will always lose in this world.

I think the NBA made a major mistake because they have now opened up the fact that if anybody in NBA gets caught doing something like this or saying like this they are banned! Why is it alright for one black player to call another black player a person on the Court? They do it all the time. What happens when someone like Lebron is caught saying that guys is a friggin dumbass person, person, Honkey, person, spick? 

Wrong. Look up no-knock warrant.
