Lupica: Stern should tell Ratner to get out of the basketball business
Atlantic Yards Report
Here's one AYR slipped past us yesterday.
From New York Daily News sports columnist Mike Lupica today:
But when does [NBA Commissioner David] Stern tell [Nets owner] Bruce Ratner that it is time for him to get out of the basketball business?When does the commissioner tell Ratner to see if he can find a buyer who's more interested in the NBA than real estate?
Ratner is Donald Sterling of the [Los Angeles] Clippers, just taller.
Last month, ESPN The Magazine called Ratner the second-worst owner in professional sports, and the worst owner in pro basketball. Ratner was ranked #121, while Sterling was #116, though his team was overall rated worse (#122) than the Nets (#111) in the Ultimate Standings.
NoLandGrab: Calling someone a taller Donald Sterling is not a compliment.
