Donald Sterling is getting out of the NBA at the right time

[Slick]

Sterling is going to make out like a bandit, getting $2 Billion for the Clippers at a time when the NBA talent level is in the toilet, with only a handful of Hall of Famer's left in the league, on a couple of rosters, who by the way are long past their prime (Duncan, Parker, Kobe, Nowitzki, Garnett, Pierce and a couple of others). The NBA ratings are in the toilet, the players are crap and all you hear are how athletic they are, as if that means anything. Larry Bird wasn't the most athletic player, but the guy could shoot and play defense. Today's NBA players are pretty much scrubs, play no defense, allowing players a free pass to the basket without ever making them pay. You don't see players putting hands in the face of shooter's on the perimeter. Take the Heat/Pacers series, for as great as the younger generation claims LeBron James is, this series should be over. This years Pacers team is average at best if you were to measure them against some of the Pacers teams when Reggie Miller, Dale Davis, Jalen Rose, Travis Best, Rick Smits, etc. were playing. A lot of those Reggie Miller era teams would have mopped the floor with this years Pacers team and would beat this years Miami Heat team. And yet Reggie's Pacers teams were only slightly better than average, imagine what the elite teams in the NBA 10-15 years ago would do to the NBA teams today...todays NBA wouldn't stand a chance.

Slick...I really don't think people care how Sterling is going to fare on this sale...most people just want him out of the league.

I've been watching the NBA for a long time...over 40 yrs, but admittedly, I'm not the biggest NBA fan these days. Players come and go and every era will have superstar players...should every era have HOFers? idk, but guys like CP3 and a few others will likely make it.

That said, you don't have to like it, but NBA playoff basketball is the best basketball played on the planet...always has been and always will be.

You are rambling on about the NBA, but the problem is you have no idea what you are talking about.
