Some are claiming that he has harmed the NBA. How so?

If you are one of the people who hold this view, please explain how YOU now think less of the league as a result. What is it about the league that is now held in lower esteem than it was prior?

I never thought much of a game where 7 foot players shoot at a 10 foot basket.

The only racism you see is made up BS. You refuse to see real racism, how it harms society and how we, as a society, address that harm.

And your solution is for 80% of the nation to bend over and take it.

Maybe drop the penalties and keep the fines?

Who wants to work for someone that considers ones paycheck (in this case, earned through lifelong commitment to excellence and hard work) to be a HANDOUT?

Sit court side and watch. It is an amazing sight seeing how incredibly athletically gifted those huge guys are.

Who gives a **** what the owner thinks when you know better?

Raise the basket a foot, and get back to me.

You may if you want, but that's not necessary.

There are plenty of owners available. It's best if the NBA does not excuse those who would so insult their members, fans and the public in general.

Someone that is smart enough to realize there is only so many teams and playing in the NBA can easily make you a millionaire.

The NBA does not need Sterling. Sterling has damaged the NBA in two ways: racism and a disrespect of players. No one wants him in the club anymore. Freedom of association, buh bye.

No, and I don't care about it. It's just my opinion.

I understand. I'm no longer an NBA fan after David Stern and Clay Bennett bent the City of Seattle over. But having sat court side many times it is mind boggling how big and graceful those guys are. They are freakish.

I enjoyed the young chippy and the wife at odds with each other more than anything. I'm not proud of myself for enjoying that trainwreck.:boohoo:

The whole thing felt rather contrived.

I get it, but when you have scores over 100 regularly, it's time to make the game more difficult. I mean the guys playing now are a foot and a half taller than the guys who invented the game. Come on!

Slam dunks have never impressed me. It's just showboating. Shooting and such is better viewing.

And yes, I have sat court side... albeit 30+ years ago. What turns me off now more than anything is how the last 2 minutes of the game gets dragged out to 30 minutes.
