im not so sure.
i keep coming back to the fact that this guy just isn’t stupid and i’m betting there is a whole lot more to this whole thing.
as far as the whole NBA (players, owners, etc.) hating him and wanting him gone, what did the NAACP miss when they were going to give him a major award ? just sayin.
Money. Sterling will toss $10K or $15K at organizations just to get recognition...then take out ads in newspapers crowing about it. ESPN the Magazine did an article on Sterling about 5 years ago. Take a look and you'll see why the NBA has viewed him as an embarassment for years. Link
