This was NATIONAL news yesterday (I missed it until today)

 

NBA suspends Clippers owner Ballmer, fines team $30M, Kawhi Leonard $700K in cap circumvention case

That's from NPR. It's a fucking big deal. The Association has never punished a franchise like this before. And they did it to Steve Fucking Ballmer. Adam Silver's first major decision was to ban former "Clippers" owner Donald Sterling ne Tokowitz, for LIFE. Adam's term as commish still has three or four years to go, but the decision yesterday is an appropriate bookend to the latter part of his tenure.
