That's what happened to Mr. Sterling. One day he was on the top of the world with a basketball team he's owned since l981, in the playoffs, with  a beautiful younger woman on his arm despite his separation from his wife.  He had it made.

Today, for what he was overheard saying, Mr. Sterling has been unmade, bum rushed and banished from his own team and industry, fined $2.5 million dollars, and now we read that David Geffen wants to buy the team.

As media cheerleaders praise the NBA for being tough is anyone really investigating all this and looking at motives behind this LA drama that's better than any reality show or movie produced there?

Was he set up by his avaricious "girl friend " who has taken him for millions in cars and property, or could all this have been part of a well engineered  coup to wrest the company away?

 Who else was involved? The "GF" says she didn't leak the tape.

Who did?

Don't you think we should find out?

What are the ethics of secretly taping someone without permission,  and then,  for TMZ or whoever to air and hype the conversation?
