After the Donald Sterling tape was leaked last month, NBA commissioner Adam Silver took swift action, fining the Los Angeles Clippers owner a $2.5 million fine and laying a lifetime ban on him, and other franchise owners lined up to vote him out.

Original LeBron Hater Sick Of All The Bandwagon Haters
