L.A. Clipper owner Don Sterling has decided to fight fire with fire. Not willing to go quietly he is preparing to take down as many owners and league officials as possible with him.
After the NBA Commissioner decided to fine Sterling $2.5 million, ban him for life and has been leading a charge to force him to sell his team because of comments that he made to his girlfriend in private and illegally recorded became public.
I think most people would agree that the comments didn't show Sterling in the best light. But does this give the NBA the right to punish him in the way that it has tried to do so?
Sterling is going to fight back. Fighting back he is. He has hired an army of investigators and their sole job is to go out and dig up as much dirt as they can on NBA Commissioners both current and former and team owners. He is going to air out everyone's dirty laundry in this process. He is going to take the pedestal out from under as many as he can.
If he can find even one other instance of similar circumstances this will throw the whole league into mayhem. Let alone if he finds multiple instances. The league has tried to set a president of how it will handle situations of this magnitude and will have to follow suit on additional situations. This could cost the league dearly.
That is what Sterling is betting on.
