I know we are a bit late on this post, considering that this story broke yesterday, but it has taken us a bit of time to fully digest its absurdity.
Apparently the reigning "Worst Owner in Professional Sports History" Donald Sterling has been heckling Baron Davis from his court side seat at Clippers home games.
Let's take a moment and try to wrap our heads around this crazy shit. First of all, isn't it a bit of an oxymoron when you berate a guy for being "fat" or bitching about his shot selection yet AT THE VERY SAME TIME paying that same guy almost .$11mil a year.
Now the real question is this... What is the appropriate Baron Davis response? Sterling ins a really bad dude, a documented racist, slumlord, sexual harasser, etc. There's plenty of ammo there for Baron. But I can't help but think calling him out on the court may be the very best strategy. Do it nightly, and make sure that everyone for 5 rows hears you call this guy out. Because what can he really do? Fine him. Okay, but under that same logic can't Davis sue for his employer creating a hostile work environment? It's not clear cut but I don't see why you couldn't talk smack right back.
Perhaps Baron can remind "The Don" that the reason the Clippers are a laughing stock year in and year out is, in fact "The Don" himself.
Crazy story...
