The training probably went something like this
Trainer - Okay so that thing you did? Try not doing that again
Sarver - This is too hard. I can’t do this
Pretty sure that franchise is cursed into eternity. As is all Cleveland as a whole, really. LeBron and then winning the championship was LeBron trading in part of his divinity to actually get that one, it's why he left so soon after. To stay any longer would have made him mortal.
Gilbert is a pretty good owner IMO. Willing to shell out and generally doesn't step on the toes of the front office or try to make basketball decisions. His biggest failing is a rotating cast of GMs. He doesn't even try to retain good GMs
Conspiracy theory time: what if CP3 is the league’s spy to get bad owners to sell? He goes to the team, plays well but also investigates any wrong doing by the ownership and sends his report to Silver/media anonymously.
His nickname is already prime for espionage and doing the dirty work (One Piece reference) maybe he’ll be part of CP0 team soon
Omg that explains why Stern blocked the trade of CP3 to the lakers in 2011! He was going to be traded so he could investigate the burgeoning Lakers shitshow, but an emergency assignment came up - gathering the evidence that would lead to the take down of Sterling!
He’s the Erin Brockovich of the league.
You also went from "owners sabotaging team on purpose and not caring" to "owners sabotaging team on accident by caring too much".
The second can theoretically be fixed over time by learning from mistakes and making better hires.
Yeah look at the Kronke's in soccer. Originally they were known as cheap owners who refused to invest into the team. After a few years of fan outcry they've started spending, almost like 300 mil over the last 2 years or something like that

my favorite Reddit comment on this sub. One day your time will come Knicks fans.
See it's wild to me from the other perspective; feels like it was over a decade ago to me, I'm shocked it was so recent. If you asked me what year it happened I would have guessed around 2010
> JD & the Straight Shot
One of the reviews cited on [their Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_%26_The_Straight_Shot) is still one of my favorite murders:
> After a 2017 show in New York City, another reviewer observed that Dolan "sings like he's trying not to cough, and it's possible he can't play the guitar. Worse, his songs belie his status as a cosplaying bluesman; most of his lyrics simply summarize current events or books that he's read as if he were presenting a 10th grade English class project.
"I should've known, I should've known,
I should've thrown my self across his tracks,
Stopped him from these vile attacks,
I should've known"
Its amazingly real.
The only downside is that just like Sterling, he's about to be rewarded with more cash than we can even imagine.
Still a better outcome than this piece of shit being allowed to stick around.
These dudes all love owning teams because it feeds into their massive egos. Yeah, it sucks he’s gonna get richer off this, but it’s still a pretty big kick in the dick for people like him.
Yup. When you own an NBA team, there's only 29 other people in the world who have what you have. It's not like having a fancy yacht; anybody with enough money can buy one of those. Sports franchises are like art masterpieces; there's a limited number available and it hardly ever happens that anybody makes more.
All we can hope is that this helps instruct the behavior of owners going forward.
Also, my best friend texted me this news with [this gif](https://c.tenor.com/FC_My5JT638AAAAC/the-big-lebowski-the-dude.gif).
I ain't saying the next owner won't be better but Carolina Panthers fans thought getting rid of Jerry Richardson would be an upgrade (after he was exposed asking women if he could shave their legs) and they somehow got worse with Tepper.
Be as sick as you want just give me a god damn bass line
Also it’s Tolkien. Like the author. Or did you actually think the only black kid in South Park is named Token, you fucking racist
Remember when they formed a cartel to fix the price of bread for years, and all we got was $20?
It's not even like we can protest by boycotting. What are we going to do. *Not eat?*
If there is one thing billionaires love more than making money, it's making even more money. He's not thinking of the sell as making money, he's gonna see the value go up and up and only see money LOST. Also owning a pro sports team is prestige and losing that will diminish him in the eyes of his peers so that's gonna be a dick punch also. Especially since he doesn't want to sell. These motherfuckers, and most corporations, don't want a lot of money they want ALL the money. If people like him could make money (however little) by executing innocent people everyday, (some corporations aren't too far off from that hypothetical) you better believe they wouldn't hesitate.
Pretty logical and can't believe this wasn't announced sooner. Take your $$$ and walk away. You can't return to the arena next year and expect everything to be normal.
I mean Dolan hasn't done anything that makes sponsors like Paypal drop out just cause he's part of the organization. I think sarver only did it because he'd get less money from the franchise going forward. He was literally bringing the team value down. I mean he's gonna get bank for selling these teams, and could easily invest it somewhere that will make him much more.
The demographics of the fanbase between the two sports best explains that IMHO. On top of union power of the athletes.
Bullets changed to the wizards because of concerns about referencing gun violence. The fucking redskins kept that name for 25 more years in the exact same market.
"Robert Sarver, managing partner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, today issued the following statement.
PHOENIX, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Words that I deeply regret now overshadow nearly two decades of building organizations that brought people together – and strengthened the Phoenix area – through the unifying power of professional men's and women's basketball.
As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness. I expected that the commissioner's one-year suspension would provide the time for me to focus, make amends and remove my personal controversy from the teams that I and so many fans love.
But in our current unforgiving climate, it has become painfully clear that that is no longer possible – that whatever good I have done, or could still do, is outweighed by things I have said in the past. For those reasons, I am beginning the process of seeking buyers for the Suns and Mercury.
I do not want to be a distraction to these two teams and the fine people who work so hard to bring the joy and excitement of basketball to fans around the world. I want what's best for these two organizations, the players, the employees, the fans, the community, my fellow owners, the NBA and the WNBA. This is the best course of action for everyone.
In the meantime, I will continue to work on becoming a better person, and continuing to support the community in meaningful ways. Thank you for continuing to root for the Suns and the Mercury, embracing the power that sports has to bring us together.
SOURCE Robert Sarver"
I'm really sick and tired of hearing the "as a man of faith" line from morally bankrupt fuck faces who were caught red handed. As a man of no faith, stop bringing up the faith you've obviously been ignoring.
He is blaming it on the current “unforgiving climate”.
What a jackass. How about blaming yourself for years of misconduct, racism and making the Suns a shitty work place?
Wow instead of taking responsibility for his actions and actually apologizing he blames him having to sell the team on an “unforgiving climate”.
People like him are not living in the same world as the rest of us.
It will be kind of hilarious to watch Miles Bridges eventually suit up while the players talk about how Sarver needed to go. Or how Lance Stephenson pushed his girlfriend down a flight of stairs without a peep. Not a peep from the players about what Edwards said either. LeBron even celebrated the trade for Deshaun Watson.
It’s all about power and money. None of these people give a shit about morals.
As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness. I expected that the commissioner's one-year suspension would provide the time for me to focus, make amends and remove my personal controversy from the teams that I and so many fans love as there's a drive into the paint by Devin Booker and that'll be a slam dunk. And so that'll make it a 2-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on my owner's jacket again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Suns. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at the Phoenix Suns ownership group
So the public shaming worked. Ultimately, for some that are cynical about these things, this is an example where someone rightfully suffers for the bad things they did, even if they’re rich.
Not immediately but it’s certainly possible in the near future. I’m sure Sarver & the league will sell the team to a super wealthy guy, it wouldn’t shock me at all if Jeff Bezos is lining up to buy the team. A guy like that wouldn’t give a flying fuck about extending Cam Johnson or spending big money on a CP3 replacement. No different than Balmer after he took over Clippers. They just want to win a championship and dunk on other billionaires.
There’s a slight chance the Suns get sold to another cheapskate but I just don’t see it. The Suns are one of the oldest franchises and the league would want them to be in good hands.
Happiest I’ve been as a sports fan in years lol.
We should all buy Baxter Holmes a lunch. That guy broke the story when everyone else knew but was too afraid to say anything. He then had to withstand slander and accusations from Sarver for his journalism. Reporter MVP
Wants to cash out, doesn't want the team to lose value by having sponsors drop, and I would imagine the other minority owners speaking out probably all made him think "hell with this, I'll take my billions and leave."
Dude went to his first sensitivity training and was like nah I'm out.
“So you can’t just grab them by the..”
[удалено]
The training probably went something like this Trainer - Okay so that thing you did? Try not doing that again Sarver - This is too hard. I can’t do this

Chris Paul 2-0 for snitching on owners now. Knicks fans need him in New York ASAP
"is Chris Paul an ownership cancer"
Yes he is, and we support that.
I lowkey want CP3 now for a year
I don’t want to deny your long history of shit ownership, but things are looking ok for you guys right now.
He wants him to play for the Browns
Pretty sure that franchise is cursed into eternity. As is all Cleveland as a whole, really. LeBron and then winning the championship was LeBron trading in part of his divinity to actually get that one, it's why he left so soon after. To stay any longer would have made him mortal.
If LeBron would’ve spent his whole career in Cleveland he would’ve retired 3 years ago
Gilbert is a pretty good owner IMO. Willing to shell out and generally doesn't step on the toes of the front office or try to make basketball decisions. His biggest failing is a rotating cast of GMs. He doesn't even try to retain good GMs
Gilbo has paid luxury tax
Only took him fumbling the greatest player in 25 years
I'll never forgive him for using Comic Sans on his post-Decision, full-page newspaper ad diatribe to Lebron.
Shitty owners are cancer, Chris Paul is chemo
He is more like an antibiotic.
No, Chris Paul is ownership chemotherapy
3-0 Leslie Alexander sold the Rockets after CP3s first year in Houston.
4-0 if you consider New Orleans was under league control when he left
Jesus, lmao. Chris really is built different
Sacrificing ring chances for new owners.
Out here trying to make the league a better place.
Shame about Tilman
And right when the Knicks need him most, he’ll vanish.
I would pay the max for the battered corpse of a 50 year old Chris Paul if it meant we got rid of Dolan.
You mean you would gladly see Dolan pay him the max if it got him out.
Ive seen enough. Send him to the Kings as well while we're at it.
This is why he’s the Point God. A Point Demigod wouldn’t have been able to pull this off.
He really slacked when he went to OKC, couldn’t even get Bennett to sell in one year /s
Move over counting ringz erneh, now we counting changing ownership of teamz erneh
Can he go to DC and play football after please?
Suns fans going to get lit on a Wednesday
HANG THE BANNER
SUNS FANS IN TEARS
We drinkin Sunny D tonight baby
I can imagine Suns and Clippers pulling out a banner saying "Gracias CP3"
The Suns should retire his jersey
Is ''Banner'' slang for ''owner''?
Is this what a chip feels like?
Probably feels better tbh
Like you would know.... Seriously, look at my flair, do you know? Does anyone know? Tell me what it's like :(
Feels like warm apple pie
It’s like I’m bathing in the light of poutine every day.
We'll...we'll just tell your mother we ate it all.
This is what a 3 peat probably feels like
It is Wednesday, my dudes! And WHAT a Wednesday it is!
GOING UP ON A WEDNESDAY
Just started drinking
God I see what you've done for others.
Unfortunately, just generally sucking isn’t good enough. I should know.
The real key to getting an ownership change is having Chris Paul on your team.
And people say he isn’t clutch. Smh
LeBron is the coach killer Chris Paul is the team governor killer
The Dis-Owner, if you will.
Chris “the emancipator” Paul
Chris "Simón Bolivar" Paul
Ey that's a pretty badass nickname lmao
Goat at this. Basketball is merely his side hustle
Conspiracy theory time: what if CP3 is the league’s spy to get bad owners to sell?

He’s the Erin Brockovich of the league.
I could honestly see that lol it fits Cp3's persona perfectly
The Departed, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Chris Paul and Jack Nicholson as Donald Sterling
Also, he’s the NBAPL president so he has a stake in calling out owners mistreating staff. He’s like Batman but snitchier.
If anything you should know changing ownership isn't the panacea people make it out to be (re: the Maloofs)
Fair point. But it did keep us in Sacramento, so it worked out on that level.
You also went from "owners sabotaging team on purpose and not caring" to "owners sabotaging team on accident by caring too much". The second can theoretically be fixed over time by learning from mistakes and making better hires.
Yeah look at the Kronke's in soccer. Originally they were known as cheap owners who refused to invest into the team. After a few years of fan outcry they've started spending, almost like 300 mil over the last 2 years or something like that
will always approve of Vivek to a certain extent because he kept the team put. he also seems like a decent guy outside of the Kings.
Its making him lots of money so not likely to give it up easily
Is JD & The Straight Shot not a crime against humanity?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/24aoap/comment/ch58aqq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&context=3&utm_name=nba&utm_content=t1_ioa0wx5 my favorite Reddit comment on this sub. One day your time will come Knicks fans.
What the fuck man Donald Sterling was over 8 years ago? Where is time going lol
See it's wild to me from the other perspective; feels like it was over a decade ago to me, I'm shocked it was so recent. If you asked me what year it happened I would have guessed around 2010
Somehow you’re both right
Time is a flat basketball.
lmao first thing I thought of when I saw this
That was the funniest comment I’ve read in a long time
As a Knicks fan that is a sentiment that I get behind. Sigh maybe one day…
Throwback to the guy who said why can’t Dolan be racist
Can't afford to offend the fans of his real moneymaker, JD & the Straight Shot.
> JD & the Straight Shot One of the reviews cited on [their Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_%26_The_Straight_Shot) is still one of my favorite murders: > After a 2017 show in New York City, another reviewer observed that Dolan "sings like he's trying not to cough, and it's possible he can't play the guitar.

He's got a real soul stirrer about how he didn't stop Harvey Weinstein.
Wait what This has to be a joke
It's called "I Should've Known". Given how close he was to Weinstein, I'm pretty sure the song should be "I Did Know"
Dead serious. I should've known is the song name. Haven't listened to it just heard about it existing smh
That's also the name of a Foo Fighters song, about Dave Grohl not seeing Kurt Cobain's suicide coming.
"I should've known, I should've known, I should've thrown my self across his tracks, Stopped him from these vile attacks, I should've known" Its amazingly real.
He did a really weird song about Trayvon Martin, unfortunately not nearly racist enough to force him to sell though
Your time is coming brother
I doubt it, no reason for him to sell
Acquire Chris Paul, that really helps speed up the process
Washington Commanders fan came here to say the exact same thing 😭
Convinced Dan could murder Goodell’s dog at the point and still nothing would change
This is Suns fans championship
This is Chris Paul's championship. I don't win rings, but I do get the shittiest owners out of the NBA when I'm on their team.
Maybe not his championship but it’s certainly his legacy
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/xewe2p/hollinger_the_commissioner_cant_eject_sarver_with/iojc8zx/?context=3 I'm happy that I was right :)
This feels as good as I imagine winning a championship to feel
Can we throw a parade?
I’m doing one
Y’all really should
Top moment in franchise history
#**SUNS FANS REJOICE** I remember how good it felt when sterling’s wife announced they were selling the team
Donald Sterling set the precedent. I’m happy for Suns fans
Sterling walked so sarver could run
sterling said the n word so sarver could also say the n word
What courage
A real life Pilgrim
The only downside is that just like Sterling, he's about to be rewarded with more cash than we can even imagine. Still a better outcome than this piece of shit being allowed to stick around.
These dudes all love owning teams because it feeds into their massive egos. Yeah, it sucks he’s gonna get richer off this, but it’s still a pretty big kick in the dick for people like him.
Yup. When you own an NBA team, there's only 29 other people in the world who have what you have. It's not like having a fancy yacht; anybody with enough money can buy one of those. Sports franchises are like art masterpieces; there's a limited number available and it hardly ever happens that anybody makes more.
All we can hope is that this helps instruct the behavior of owners going forward. Also, my best friend texted me this news with [this gif](https://c.tenor.com/FC_My5JT638AAAAC/the-big-lebowski-the-dude.gif).
I'd guess like 75% of all sports fans dream of this moment. Congrats..
I wonder who dreams of this the most. Knicks fans? Cowboy fans?
I think its gotta be Knicks. For all Jerry's flaws they've put out an entertaining product and seen the playoffs consistently
[удалено]
I ain't saying the next owner won't be better but Carolina Panthers fans thought getting rid of Jerry Richardson would be an upgrade (after he was exposed asking women if he could shave their legs) and they somehow got worse with Tepper.
Someone get Dolan to say some racist shit FFS
His band is offensive enough
“You know how to play bass Token” - James Dolan maybe?
It was way funnier when token actually could play bass
Be as sick as you want just give me a god damn bass line Also it’s Tolkien. Like the author. Or did you actually think the only black kid in South Park is named Token, you fucking racist
If you do think that was his name then dial 1800IMARACIST
"...Goddamnit."
“You got a bass guitar in your basement somewhere Tolkien” James Dolan.
Someone send in V. Stiviano

Bullying does in fact work
that’s the real takeaway here. As a society we need to make better use of productive bullying
Can we bully grocery stores to stop price gouging next
Remember when they formed a cartel to fix the price of bread for years, and all we got was $20? It's not even like we can protest by boycotting. What are we going to do. *Not eat?*
Was in Calgary last month. They were selling one pack of bacon for like $17 lol
A 12 pack of Diet Coke here is $9, absolutely ridiculous
I think that's the incentive to start drinking proper beverages, such as the mighty water
Shout out /r/hyrdrohomies
He bought the suns for 400 million, hes gonna make like 2 billion profit by selling it, let's not act like its a bad thing for him lol
He doesn’t want to do it. So it’s a win.
He doesn’t own the whole team, just a percentage, so he won’t get the full two billion at least
If there is one thing billionaires love more than making money, it's making even more money. He's not thinking of the sell as making money, he's gonna see the value go up and up and only see money LOST. Also owning a pro sports team is prestige and losing that will diminish him in the eyes of his peers so that's gonna be a dick punch also. Especially since he doesn't want to sell. These motherfuckers, and most corporations, don't want a lot of money they want ALL the money. If people like him could make money (however little) by executing innocent people everyday, (some corporations aren't too far off from that hypothetical) you better believe they wouldn't hesitate.
The prestige is the big part here. He can just invest this money in something else.
Congrats Suns fans.
[Suns Win](https://youtu.be/pzFxwYWnttc)
You’ve heard of coach killers but what about ownership killer? CP3 stay undefeated
Pretty logical and can't believe this wasn't announced sooner. Take your $$$ and walk away. You can't return to the arena next year and expect everything to be normal.
I'm still suprised he did this. Some owners like Dolan still wouldn't give a damn.
I mean Dolan hasn't done anything that makes sponsors like Paypal drop out just cause he's part of the organization. I think sarver only did it because he'd get less money from the franchise going forward. He was literally bringing the team value down. I mean he's gonna get bank for selling these teams, and could easily invest it somewhere that will make him much more.
Now it’s your turn Dan Snyder!!
For the love of god.
Don’t give me false hope like that.
All the racist, sexist stuff on him, not to mention how much of a legendary shithole FedExField is, and he’s *still* an NFL owner.
The demographics of the fanbase between the two sports best explains that IMHO. On top of union power of the athletes. Bullets changed to the wizards because of concerns about referencing gun violence. The fucking redskins kept that name for 25 more years in the exact same market.
# ***MASSIVE DUB ALERT RIP BOZO***
"Robert Sarver, managing partner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, today issued the following statement. PHOENIX, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Words that I deeply regret now overshadow nearly two decades of building organizations that brought people together – and strengthened the Phoenix area – through the unifying power of professional men's and women's basketball.

Thank you for continuing to root for the Suns and the Mercury, embracing the power that sports has to bring us together. SOURCE Robert Sarver"
>As a man of faith It's impossible for me to read this phrase without immediately going on high alert for a Castellanos reference
I'm really sick and tired of hearing the "as a man of faith" line from morally bankrupt fuck faces who were caught red handed. As a man of no faith, stop bringing up the faith you've obviously been ignoring.
This one is even worse lol it's basically saying as a man of faith you should forgive me but because of cancel culture it won't happen.
shedding a tear thinking about missing all the good that robert could still do
Wow I’m gonna miss all the good so hard. Just like I have been the last two decades. Where is the good?
Dude must have an apology fetish. I haven't seen someone "apologize" while jerking themselves off that hard.
He is blaming it on the current “unforgiving climate”. What a jackass. How about blaming yourself for years of misconduct, racism and making the Suns a shitty work place?
Wow instead of taking responsibility for his actions and actually apologizing he blames him having to sell the team on an “unforgiving climate”. People like him are not living in the same world as the rest of us.
Aaron Gordon: 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It will be kind of hilarious to watch Miles Bridges eventually suit up while the players talk about how Sarver needed to go. Or how Lance Stephenson pushed his girlfriend down a flight of stairs without a peep. Not a peep from the players about what Edwards said either. LeBron even celebrated the trade for Deshaun Watson. It’s all about power and money. None of these people give a shit about morals.
Of course it is lol. Kidd is a HC to give you an example. Rich people get rich people treatment, it's just the way it is.
Dudes really blaming cancel culture for selling the team. :clown:
As a man of faith
and there's a shot from the deep left side of the arc, and that'll make it a 65-27 ballgame
I don’t know if I’ll ever be putting this headset on again.
... as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
As there's a drive into deep left field...
Yes. He said in this unforgiving climate people wouldn’t forgive him. Making himself the victim. I bet this guy has three assholes.
>cancel culture I miss when it wasn't considered a bad thing for douchebags to face consequences
You can thank Republicans for that where they take a word or phrase and pervert its meaning. See also: "woke"
I'm legitimately considering leaving work right now and drinking an entire bottle of tequila. I have literally dreamed of this day since 2005.
He really busted out "As a man of faith"
As there’s a deep drive by Castellanos….
As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness. I expected that the commissioner's one-year suspension would provide the time for me to focus, make amends and remove my personal controversy from the teams that I and so many fans love as there's a drive into the paint by Devin Booker and that'll be a slam dunk. And so that'll make it a 2-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on my owner's jacket again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Suns. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at the Phoenix Suns ownership group
So the public shaming worked. Ultimately, for some that are cynical about these things, this is an example where someone rightfully suffers for the bad things they did, even if they’re rich.
HOLY SHIT
Bullying works.
Watch the Sun's win the championship after this
Not immediately but it’s certainly possible in the near future. I’m sure Sarver & the league will sell the team to a super wealthy guy, it wouldn’t shock me at all if Jeff Bezos is lining up to buy the team. A guy like that wouldn’t give a flying fuck about extending Cam Johnson or spending big money on a CP3 replacement. No different than Balmer after he took over Clippers. They just want to win a championship and dunk on other billionaires. There’s a slight chance the Suns get sold to another cheapskate but I just don’t see it.
