Banned for life.
http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/04/29/donald-sterling-banned-for-life-from-nba/Pz3cekWsAL4z6nGnvA7p7N/story.html NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from all league activity for life. To go along with this ban, Sterling must also pay 2.5 million dollars in fines and is being forced to sell the team. After various racist comments were made by Sterling, the league dropped the hammer atop his head. Numerous NBA veterans and sports analysts voiced their opinions on the situation and almost all have sided and agreed with the decision the NBA made. Unfortunately, the decision was far harsher than it should have been. Although Donald Sterling's comments were extremely inappropriate and down right idiotic, a ban for life is the result of a situation being taken too far.

1992 vs 2012 Dream Team Recap
Last night, 8ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the game of all games was played by some of the best athletes in history. The almighty 1992 dream team matched up against a much younger 2012 dream team. The outcome came as no surprise to forward Charles Barkley of the 1992 team. "I wiped the floor with LeBron tonight," says Barkley, "the kid wasn't ready for what he got." Barkley led both teams in scoring with a whopping 64 points, along with 18 rebounds and 7 blocked shots. Sir Charles was at his best last night. Other notable players from last night were as follows; Michael Jordan, 32, Kevin Durant, 29, Christian Laettner, 45, and of course LeBron James, 4. The final score tallied up to be 175-164 after quadruple overtime. A game that will be discussed for decades to come ended in a manner of great thrill and sportsmanship.
