It was reported that Dwight Howard told management he wanted Stan Van Gundy fired, and SVG confirmed it was true to a crowd of reporters. Then Dwight walks in and hilarious awkwardness ensues:

-
so great. i bet you could feel the awkwardness in the air.
-
lol Van Gundy had to be like s**t!
-
van gundy doesn't give a crap
-
van gundy doesn't give a crap
exactly. Poor dwight had no idea what he was walking into. Everything about it was just wonderful - the diet pepsi, SVG saying "bullshit" multiple times, the hug, the mics going up to Dwight and hiding SVG, SVG leaving, Dwight trying to tell the guys they were lying when they said they didn't watch ESPN...I just loved every second of it.
-
The awkwardness were like the ocean, wave after wave.

I hope Van Gundy drowns at Sea World

wow, I love the NBA and chinese basketball.
I went to the Golden State Warriors game Friday and had a lot of fun.

So, like, Steve Ballmer is going to buy the Sacramento Kings and move them to Seattle or something. Seems like a pretty baller move?

Yeah. It's like, weird Seattle doesn't have a team but Sacramento does, especially when The Kings arena is like an hour from where the Warriors play. The name would be perfect for them, too.

I like to call them The Once Kansas City Kings. In a perfect world they would be moving to KC and I could call them The Once and Future Kansas City Kings.

The best part about having an NBA team in KC would be listening to the local radio guys try to talk about it.

The Golden State Kings? Or the Seattle Kings? If it's the latter, I'd imagine they would change the name to Supersonics.

Yeah, I see it. But I'd think they'd just change the name to Supersonics and just act like the team stopped playing there for nearly a decade. Regardless they'd change the colors.

Seattle Kings is a good name

Clay Bennett (owner of the Thunder) is going to make some $$$ when the new team asks to have the name and colors back. He said he would let Seattle have them if they got a team, but it won't be cheap, I assume.

yeah. But the thing is there is a good chance that KG knows people that have been with Melo's wife. (she is LaLa from MTV in the 00's)(this was the hot topic at pickup ball this morning).

so the hornets are going to change their name to the pelicans
:lol:
Now Charlotte is changing back to the Hornets. I'm assuming they'll go back to the old color scheme. Feels good to have my favorite childhood team back. I've tried to become a Thunder fan, but the fact that they've completely ruined Tulsa sports radio makes me resent them. Plus, I have a hard time rooting for a mens team named after a 12-year-old girls softball team.

Dennis Rodman has named a team of former NBA players to play an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Rodman will lead the team that includes former NBA All-Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, and Vin Baker. Craig Hodges, Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith are on the team, as well. They will play against a top North Korean senior national team on Wednesday, marking Kim Jong Un's birthday.

WHAT?
He did? Wow, had no idea that it's surprising.
Anyway to these guys your boss essentially saying publicly that he detests you because you're black is very different than him not renting Bel Aire and Koreatown apartments to black people. The apartment thing is worse but this is just in your face, most of those dudes probably don't even know about the apartment thing. He will never be able to attract a decent fee agent ever again.
I gotta think Doc Rivers will be coaching at either Golden State, Oklahoma City, or Indy next season.
-
I'm also interested in the fact that Sterling told the Clippers front office to lie about this in their statement then within the statement they couldn't get the lie straight. The first part of the statement says they aren't sure if the audio was altered or not, how in the hell could you not know, then the second half of the statement is Sterling denying that he said it or thought it.
I'm also intrigued at the NAACP being exposed for continually giving this guy awards when he's paid tens of millions of dollars in discrimination settlements and when he celebrated Black History Month in March by giving poor kids basketball tickets.
-
I know that the bigger story here is Sterling being a racist, but now I'm wondering about Doc's future. So I thought up some scenarios:
1. If Sterling steps down from The Clippers, do you believe Doc stays? If Sterling stays and Doc leaves, who in the hell is going to take that job?
2. I think the only way OKC is looking for a new coach is if they lose this series, which is hilariously possible. Vogel may be out at Pacers unless he makes it to the Finals, and where do you think Mark Jackson is going? The smartest move for Doc, I think, is to team up with Phil in New York.

this is what i want, but my people in ny (@espn.com) say phil might not be done coaching.

1. Doc will stay if Sterling leaves, but not if it's Sterling's wife who becomes the owner. If Sterling stays I'd look for Cliven Bundy's bodyguard to be the leading candidate for the head coaching job.
2. Mark Jackson to NY seems obvious if it won't be Phil, although I have no idea what the relationship is between Phil and Jackson.
Also Mark Jackson's comments today that the Clippers fans shouldn't go to the game is the height of self-serving douchiness. Damn I like his team but between all of his assistant coaches and his front office hating him, I kinda hope he gets canned. The strongest statement would be for him and/or his team to not participate because of Sterling, why won't he do that?

I'm aware, just as it wouldn't if fans boycotted either. Just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy.

well, neither would fans not showing up to the game. The inside out shirts and calling for fans to not come to the game are pretty hollow protests. Like Van Gundy said yesterday during the game - these are men that can take a stand if they want to. I totally understand why they don't and probably wouldn't if I were in their shoes, though.

He might view them as slaves but he doesn't treat them as slaves. Big difference.

I'd probably argue that isn't completely true.

That is kind of what has me confused. He's always been a piece of crap. What changed?
-
What a bullshit punishment.
-
Ban ban Maxwell Silver Hammer.
-
What a bullshit punishment.
Looking at this purely from a business perspective, the league had to do this. It sounds like the other 29 owners want him gone. Having a jackass like this around is a black eye that ruins the product.
Looking at this from the human perspective, this man is garbage and doesn't deserve nice things.
-
Also, there is a good chance that no player would ever play for the man ever again if the NBA didn't do this.
-
Really curious how this will play out in court, assuming Sterling doesn't just voluntarily walk away.
-
I hope he sues the eff out of the NBA
-
I hope he sues the eff out of the NBA
U sure you're not racist? Might be time to look in the mir, bub.
-
Guessing there is something in the Bylaws or constitution of the NBA where the NBA and owners can to whatever the eff they want if they have enough votes.
-
I hope he sues the eff out of the NBA
On what grounds? If the 3/4 vote from the owners rule is in the bylaws he is mumped.
It's probably in his financial interests to sell the team too. The Clips are valued at over a $1B. You think that number is going to go up or down if he holds on to the team?
-
What, exactly, is the punishment?
-

yes, owning an nba franchise is not like owning a car. He hurts the interests of the other 29 owners when he acts like this.
-
What, exactly, is the punishment?
Banned for life, $2.5mil fine, other owners holding a vote to force the sale of the team.
-
Interesting punishment. I say that because, if a forced sale does occur, it almost acts as a benefit to him. I think he bought the team for some $12.5 million. The value now far exceeds that. Basically a forced lining of Sterling's pockets with Silver lining it up for him.
-
If anything they should have fined him $50 mil, suspended him the rest of the playoffs then let whatever public shaming, sponsorship loss, etc... finish off the punishment. He probably would have sold the team on his own anyhow.
-

I think $2.5 mill is the max. They could have potentially revoked the franchise, but leaving it to it's own devices and having the public, and players take care of it could have worked, he just might have died before that.
-
But anyway, 'grats to ESPN. They really pushed this story of a known racist saying racist things in the privacy of his racist home. Ratings boom!
-
I would love to see how David Stern would have handled this.
-
If the NBA didn't do this there was potential for a leaguewide boycott by the players. Silver had to do this. He removed the cancer before it infected the entire league.
More importantly, he did everything he was able to do within the bylaws.
-
But anyway, 'grats to ESPN. They really pushed this story of a known racist saying racist things in the privacy of his racist home. Ratings boom!

Keep fighting the fight. Maybe some day racists will be treated fairly.
-
if there is a rule in place to allow them to force him to sell then by all means, but i am a little confused as to how one can be forced to sell something they own, particularly when they haven't broken any laws.
then again i haven't really read up on this so give me a few minutes to do that.

I hate to say this but I kinda agree. I mean, it's his business. Also, he didn't print his views on flyers and hand them out at the front door. His GF taped him secretly. I get he is a huge racist and a prick. I am sure that there is a something in the franchise agreement with the league that will allow them to kick him to the curb, but it is still kinda crazy. I get it, I do, but this is America and the d00d said something in what he thought was the privacy of his own second home where he keeps his unoffical pay for sex girl friend.

Yes. This was a Malaysian airplane and they are CNN. Only, they found the rough ridin' plane and it was in Al Qaeda country on a secret landing strip.
-
If the NBA really cares about racism then they should be proactive in searching out other racists and kicking them out of the league forever. I'd bet that Pat Riley is a big time racist in private.
-
Lot of dumbasses outing themselves in this thread
-
the other multi-billionaire white guy old family money NBA owners aren't racist and have never said anything racist. i can assure you of this.
the nba should have condemned what he said and left it at that. forcing him to sell his franchise in its current state is an easy way out for sterling. let him and his franchise wallow in the mess he created and allow the value to drop with it. he'll have to sell unless he likes losing money as the franchise continues to decline in value.
there is so much contrived bullshit that the nba and a lot of its ancillary hangers-ons are playing right now

didn't realize you cut off what came before "instead"
Well-intentioned white people should be holding nationally televised panel discussions focusing on ways to lessen the damaging impact of white-supremacy culture. Well-intentioned white people who work within or support the NBA should be demanding that the NBA power structure cede some of its governing power to men and women who look like the overwhelming majority of the league's players.
-
I usually read Whitlock's perspective. He's always been interesting. Also, it was interesting to see that Sterling was about to be honored with his 2nd lifetime achievement award from the NAACP.

The business isn't the Clippers it's the NBA. They are well within their right to kick his ass out. If he sued the best case scenario is that he gets to remain the owner of the Clippers, then they kick the Clippers out of the league. This is the wrong issue to defend Sterling's right to own a team in someone else's league. Just because I'm ordering bottle service at the bar doesn't mean I can do stupid crap and not get removed from the club.
What intrigues me is the fine, they removed him but fined him 2.5 million. Why would he give a dime, I'm sure he'll tell them GFY
-
Say reprehensible things, get caught, deal with the backlash.
eff that guy and eff the NBA for not having avenues in place to assess more severe punishments in circumstances such as this.

Yeah, as I mentioned, I am sure this is exactly what a franchise agreement states.
The only way this guy gets a decent price is if the NBA buys him out and sells to a new owner after the fact.
Didn't they do something like this with New Orleans?
-

I think that the vote to force him to sell is kinda BS, but the lifetime ban is the right move. Kinda like " uhh, you can keep your car, but you will never have a drivers license again and aren't allowed to touch it. But if you really want to, I guess you can still claim that you own a car"

Again, forcing him to sell is much easier than forcing all of the players into free agency and then disbanding the Clippers and in turn forcing all of the Clippers employees into unemployment.

The NBA won't buy him out and he will get a phenomenal price for the team, they play in Los Angeles. The only negative is they don't own their arena. Buying the team from Donald Sterling will be a positive for the new owner.

without knowledge of the inherent legal relationship between the league, its teams, and its owners, you don't really know what the NBA is within their right to do. what gives the nba exclusivity from labor and employment laws that prevent employers, which the NBA could certainly be viewed as in this scenario, from dictating what people think outside of their workplace? his billionaire ass should be protected just like the dude who works at taco bell making $8/hour. if sterling sued, the nba has opened themselves up for a lot more damages than if sterling simply were to continuing to own his team. he's the longest tenured owner in the league. he's owned the team 30 years within this same league who's eyes for the first time are now wide open? bullshit.
the nba has taken what they perceive to be the easy way out in an effort to protect their reputation, which in and of itself is beyond contrived.
shouldn't everyone have the right to say what they feel when outside of the workplace, within a private conversation?
sterling could simply say he was kidding, he's friends with magic, he's had countless professional relationships with african americans his entire career. he's the league's most tenured owner. his head coach is black. it was a joke that was illegally taped and broadcast beyond its intended audience. where's the rest of the recording when he explained he doesn't actually feel this way and that he mocking how dumb racists are? was you're going to take the word of some gold digging hussy over his? prove he wasn't kidding which you can't and give him a crap load of money for trying to strong arm his business away from him.
anyway, this is stupid.

Also, just getting caught up on this thread... This was not a isolated incident for DS when it comes to racism. There are several other reports of him being discriminatory in his other businesses. The phone convo was just the smoking gun that the NBA could point to as a reason to dump this assclown.
And whoever said that Silver looks like Dean Pelton... :thumbs: :thumbs:

sterling could simply say he was kidding, he's friends with magic, he's had countless professional relationships with african americans his entire career. he's the league's most tenured owner. his head coach is black. it was a joke that was illegally taped and broadcast beyond its intended audience. where's the rest of the recording when he explained he doesn't actually feel this way and that he mocking how dumb racists are? was you're going to take the word of some gold digging hussy over his? prove he wasn't kidding which you can't and give him a crap load of money for trying to strong arm his business away from him.
anyway, this is stupid.
I do know, and the league does have the authority to disband the Clippers according to their bylaws, just as they have the authority to make him sell. If you didn't know for sure I'm confused about why you would question what I know.
Also the league contacted him and the Clippers, if he was joking he had the chance to tell them, although I doubt he was joking about giving them money, cars, and houses.
This story is trite and old though, I was really annoyed watching the games last night and seeing those dumb tweets on the scroll last night, I'm glad the news cycle on this is just about done.
-
metalhead wants him tossed in prison apparently
seems kinda nazish. i'd rather he just choke on his dinner and asphyxiate.
According to his Wiki, Sterling's birth surname is Tokowitz and he's the son of Jewish immigrants... :nono:
Also, just getting caught up on this thread... This was not a isolated incident for DS when it comes to racism. There are several other reports of him being discriminatory in his other businesses. The phone convo was just the smoking gun that the NBA could point to as a reason to dump this assclown.
And whoever said that Silver looks like Dean Pelton... :thumbs: :thumbs:
I was referring to the notion of incarcerating him, nothing else.

What’s it been like living in Oklahoma City your first year?
It’s real weird. The people are amazing, don’t get me wrong. People are amazing, really, really nice people. Awesome fans. Really committed, awesome place. But the weather here is ridiculous. The winter is like, I was sliding around everywhere, it’s really cold. Like thunderstorms, it’s so hot. I was like, ‘Oh, man’. I don’t want to say it sucks, but it’s borderline.

“Look, I don’t get it. And I’m having a hard time taking it. I’m just glad that the people I’m with here — and I’ll include you guys, too — that I like. Because I’m going to have a hard time. I will say, one point of pride, I live in Oakland County, Michigan, and I was surprised, but Oakland County voted for Clinton. At least I can look around say, ‘We weren’t the ones putting that guy in office.'
-
“I’m having a hard time being with people,” he said. “I’m going to walk into this arena tonight and realize that—especially in this state—most of these people voted for the guy.”

Yes, he said both of those things and was aware that the Arizona and Michigan were going for Trump while Clinton won in his particular home county in Michigan.

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis was involved in a bloody altercation over the weekend at a club in his hometown of Liepaja, Latvia.
TMZ reported that the men who attacked Porzingis were upset that he left the New York Knicks, who traded him to the Mavericks on Jan. 31 due in part to the All-Star being disgruntled with the franchise.

Practically all of them are. Steven A, Shannon, Nick W (who I enjoy being from KC only), Skip, et al are all ass clowns who are to sports what Tucker, Hannity, Maddow, etc are to politics. Same people, same crap, and all to get views and stir up controversy. Sports ones get a lightly pass since it's sports and not things that might actually hurt people when it comes to policies.

Look, I like the grizzlies a lot. They are fun to watch and they are extremely talented. But it's not like Sharpe is wrong on a few of the things he's said. The Grizz carry a much bigger bark than bite at this point. We aren't even at the all-star break and they are pretending like the West is a lock despite getting beat by the Curryless Warriors, trounced by the Nuggets, and generally collecting wins against the bottom half of the west. That being said, I do love the shithousery that gets going between them and the Warriors. I hope they can put together a good series and finally get past the Warriors, but, until then, Sharpe has a point.

Not during the games that I’ve seen. Sometimes you see a local commercial if they don’t cut it when the game ends and they break before a postgame show. But during the game it vacillates even within the breaks between a direct feed of what’s on the jumbotron or a relatively high shot of the whole arena. It’s great.
