While no article in the NBA's constitution addresses the Sterling incident
specifically - racially insensitive comments he made in a recorded
conversation - Article 13(d) is a catch-all violation.
.
That article states an owner's may be terminated if the person fails or
refuses "to fulfill its contractual obligations to the Association, its
Members, Players, or any other third party in such a way as to affect the
Association or its Members adversely."
.
Article 24 in the NBA's constitution also lists the authorities and duties
of the commissioner. Silver is charged with "protecting the integrity of
the game of professional basketball and preserving public confidence in
the League," the article says.
.
That gives Silver broad authority. He has the right to make decisions in
the best interests of the league in situations not covered by the
Constitution and By-Laws, including coming down with penalties such as his
lifetime ban of Sterling. Silver wouldn't have taken such a bold and
unprecedented step if he and lawyers didn't believe their case against
Sterling is solid.
.
Once Sterling receives the charges in writing from Silver, he has five
days to respond. After Sterling responds, the Board of Governors will hold
a special meeting within 10 days of that response.
.
Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, the chairman of the Board of
Governors, will preside over the meeting. Sterling is entitled to counsel,
but the league constitution states, "Strict rules of evidence shall not
apply, and all relevant and material evidence submitted prior to and at
the hearing may be received and considered of the charge or charges he is
accused."
.
Then, the board will vote and it requires three-fourths of the vote to
terminate Sterling's ownership and force him to sell the team. There is a
strong sense Sterling will take this to court, and there will not be a
speedy resolution.
