In regards to your fist paragraph, I've read a lot of that, he's insane, neurotic and one of the worst bosses anyone can have. I don't think anyone disagrees that he's a world class POS, other than Donald himself. Not arguing that point. I also agree the NBA would be better of without Sterling.
I do think if the NBA attempts to use the argument about devaluing the brand, Sterling can counter that rather easily. His $12.5MM initial investment is worth more than a billion, tough to argue he has cost the league anything. I know you made the statement in jest "poor guy..." but that's one of the issues that bothers me about this whole thing. I've seen it (the return) used as a justification or excuse to accept a forced sell, but that's not a decision for anyone else to make and it never should be.
