NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the cases of Robert Sarver and Donald Sterling are 'dramatically different.'
Sterling's then-girlfriend, V. Stiviano, recorded a conversation with him in which Sterling got upset with her for bringing Blacks to the Clippers games. Once TMZ made that public, that created a form of chaos that sped up Silver's clock to do something.
"For me, the situations were dramatically different," Silver said."I think what we saw in the case of Donald Sterling was blatant racist conduct directed at a select group of people. While it’s difficult to know what is in someone’s heart or in their mind, we heard those words. Then there was a follow-up from the league office, and that became public, as well, in terms of what Mr. Sterling even subsequently said about his actions.
