As probably expected, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his wife Shelly are reportedly getting divorced.“The poor girl; I don’t know how she can live and deal with this,” Donald told Anderson Cooper of his wife in an interview broadcast Wednesday night on CNN. “Thank God she has wonderful attorneys — wonderful — and they will protect her.”
Sterling still does not plan to sell his NBA franchise, but if he is unable to stay to his word, he says Shelly should be allowed to keep her share with the team.
“If for some reason I can’t have the team, I think she should have her interest,” he said. “I mean, she didn’t do anything. I brought this all on her.”
Shelly agrees, but the players don't. It's reported that the Clippers players will boycott, even LeBron James, if anyone named Sterling still owns the Clippers.
Nonetheless, Donald Sterling will be without a wife and a team when this is all over. It will end almost 30 years of owning an NBA team and 50 years of marriage with his wife.
