good effective immediately i am banning mr. sterling for life. >> unprecedented punishment for donald sterling. nba commissioner showing 0 tolerance for the behavior. >> good evening. the announcement as clippers and warriors face off tonight in game five of the nba playoffs

>> mary bruce is live outside of the staples center in l.a. mary? >> reporter: good afternoon. well, the nba commissioner says he plans to do everything in his power to try to force donald sterling to sell the team. nba wants donald sterling gone. >> affective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life with any organization with the clippers organization or nba. >> the league benching him for life, slapping him with a $2.5 million fine >> the views expressed by mr. sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. >> punishment for the alleged racist rant.

the recordings allegedly catch sterling lashing out at his former girlfriend. the nba confirmed the voice on the tape is that of sterling. the clippers say sterling is emphatic what is reflected is not consisted with his beliefs or feelings. viviano isn't talking. her attorney says recordings are legitimate but denies she released them. clippers coach spoke with reporters by phone. >> i can't tell you how upset i am, our players are. >> i think players are going to attempt to defy donald sterling in every way. the best way is by winning. >> now, clippers plan to do just that tonight. pro testers are planning to gather here behind me. they plan to send a strong

message racism is not tolerated in their city. >> thank you. >> immediately after the announcement, clippers changed their web site and twitter page to show this. a statement reads we're one. what is your take on this punishment? >> i was surprised to a certain extent and happy. because this is the harshest punishment the commissioner can hand down. keep in mind david stern was commissioner three decades adam silver is brand new. what david stern's righthand man, regarded as a brilliant legal mind i'm sure mr. silver researched extent of the pours i think people were concerned over the weekend that nba like a lot of corporate giants will try to sweep it under the rug. silver confronted this head on.

it's swift action like we haven't seen before. >> a powerful move. what happens now. can sterling be forced to sell the team? >> you know he's going to fight it tooth and nail. there is no clause in the nba bilaws that says a chigser can force an owner owe sell a team but there is a process called termination allowing for a team to be dissolved, i'm guessing that is going to be the course the nba chooses then, the team could be reborn with a new owner, presumably sterling would be paid off and clippers might be worth $1 billion. however, donald sterling is going to fight this. he's an attorney, i'm sure he's going to go to court. nba bilaws say the disputes are supposed to be settled by

arbitration. >> you know he'll fight. >> yes. going to try. >> we'll have more on the announcement just a little bit later. bay area sports fans weigh in along with the former president of the warriors. >> secret recordings turned out to be a down fall for a warriors assistant coach. sources are reporting he was recording coach meetings and informal discussions as well as meetings between coaches and players without participants' knowledge. sources say it's unclear whether the second assistant ever did anything with recordings or if anyone told him to make the errori recordings. >> new, moving onto the weather and a big warm up just getting started. >> yes. this is the beach at santa cruz. near-record temperatures are on

children shot with plastic pellets in the playground of the wright middle school. the two young boys are in the biggest trouble of their lives. >> the only thing i can say is that when you think about 9-year-old and 10-year-old children how responsible are they for their actions? here is what we do know. yesterday, a 9-year-old boy brought a toy gun, traded it to a 10-year-old. that older boy fired three plastic pellets hitting at least one other child before school staff interveneed and took the gun. this morning a phone call to parents. then a meeting on campus with the sheriff's department. who is also there to answer questions. >> important factor is that one child is nine. the other is ten. so california state law does not recognize that they have the criminal intent to commit a
