Kudos to Donald Sterling of LA Clippers!

While most people hate Donald Sterling as the cheapskate owner of the LA Clippers, I say Kudos to the guy for making mega bucks out of an NBA franchise (revenue sharing, lower player salaries). Is it in the best interest for an owner to get all the profits he can from a company? Heck yeah...

In the days when a common man can't even make a decent 30K salary, NBA stars command millions of millions of dollars, and for what? A sport? A game? Lets see, Lebron James 90mil from Nike, Jason Kidd (wife beater) 99mil from NJ, Alonzo Mourning (been sitting on Heats bench for 2 years) 25mil, and the list goes on?

I would say to Mr. Sterling that he can cut all of his dumb ass players, such as Andre Miller, Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, Kandi(ass)man, Corey Magette etc... I would go out and sign a mess of CBA, NBDL, USBL, or street ball players for the absolute minimum. If I was an owner, let's see what the NBA can do to me...

Who would pay to see a team of CBA, NBDL, USBL, or street ballers for the price of Clipper tickets? I surely wont.
 
good luck getting anyone to come and see your games

Kudos to the worst owner in the NBA? nice thread.

NBA owners make their money in other venues, owning a team is a hobby to these guys..they don't rely on their NBA franchise as a source of income.
