Donald Sterling has been BANNED FOR LIFE from the NBA and the L.A. Clippers.Â
Â
NBA Commish Adam Silver made the announcement Tuesday ... saying the NBA will also fine Sterling $2.5 million ... and insists, "I will do everything in my power" to "force" Sterling to sell the Clippers.Â
Â
Silver says he does not know if Sterling will fight the lifetime ban -- but says he has the full support of the NBA owners.Â
Â
Silver says he spoke to several players, coaches and owners before deciding on the lifetime ban.Â
Â
As for the ban, Sterling will not be allowed to attend any NBA games or practices ever again ... and will not be permitted inside any team facilities.Â
Â
Silver says the ban will only pertain to Donald -- and not to his family members.Â
Â
During the news conference, Silver said he was "personally outraged" by Sterling's comments.Â
Â
Silver says ... during the investigation, Sterling confirmed he made the racist comments.Â
Â
Silver noted, "The hateful opinions are those of Mr. Sterling. Â The views expressed by Mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful."Â
how is it u can ban a team owner tho? what are they banning him from exactly?
Â
edit just saw the last post.
Â
oh well he can still own the team and make money from the team. I dont see how they can ban him from a facility that his own team is in though, surely thats something they cant legally uphold?

I want Magic to buy the clippers just so I can be able to say a Blackman took Donald Sterlings girlfriend and his plantation.
Or maybe it's better if some real NIGGAS buy the Clippers. Like Wayne and Baby. Sterling will definitely have a stroke then.
