The NBA set a precedent it never wanted to set by forcing former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell, the franchise eventually being purchased by Steve Ballmer.
The league had never forced an owner to sell before, but, regardless of the reasons why, Adam Silver took a stand on an issue and decided that it was better for the league that Sterling no longer had a role in the NBA and that it was time for the franchise to receive a much needed, and for their diehard fans, much deserved, facelift.
It is time though that Adam Silver and the NBA look to another poor owner and seek a means of relieving themselves of him, not one who seems to have ever made revolting statements about race, (although he has made public statements worth chastising him for), but one who admitted the moment he took over control of the franchise that he “doesn’t know much about basketball,” and for over the past nine years has reinforced that point time, and time, again.
