As you may know by now, late last night, Shelly Sterling, wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling agreed to sell the team for $2 Billion dollars to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. It still has to be approved by the majority of the other owners in the NBA, but based on the situation nobody sees that as being a problem. Last week Donald Sterling had sent a letter from his lawyer signing over control of the team to his wife because he realized the writing was on the wall in regards to his ownership. This week he had a change of heart though and vowed to put up a bloody fight to keep the team. It appears one specific thing led to the sale being allowed to go through.
