nbc's ron allen is live at the news conference in midtown, manhattan.here any leak coming out of the nba as to what we're going to hear? >> no. short answer to that, not yet. i imagine this is going to be quite a moment for the nba as an institution because there's never been anything like this that this organization has confronted. one big problem is that it's a private organization, and we don't know the bilaws and the constitution, so we don't know what's possible. you know, there's been so much talk about suspending sterling indefinitely or for a long period of time, but essentially you would be severing an owner's relationship with his property, something that he owns, a basketball team, that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. how do you do that? how do you keep him out of the games? how do you keep him from not contacting the general manager? can you really do that? would the other owners go along with that because it sets the

2010 when he canceled the multibillion train tunnel that was supposed to run from new jersey to midtown manhattan, used some of the money set aside for that to fund new jersey's transportation trust fund, which helped him keep a campaign promise on gas taxes. he has used this specific part of his administration, if you will, the port authority, to dispense favors and to punish. there is a history here. >> absolutely. it's a big, massive pork barrel, political patronage operation. the question i think for the prosecutors are were any laws broken. i can't speculate what might be, but, you know, obviously there are two investigations as we reported in new york, manhattan, and in new jersey into former port authority david sampson, a close ally of christie, awarding -- being on the port authority while contracts of big importance were awarded to his klines, and there's other issues of course using the money from transportation for the trust funds for political reasons, really. and that leaves new jersey and anyone else using the transportation system there holding the bag, really, because the money i

. >> last year i met two brothers who owned car cash, a struggling auto buying business in midtown, manhattan low on cash right now, which means i can't buy cars. >> when their father died in 2012, the brothers andrew and jon took over. but their sales slowed, their profits evaporated, and their relationship grew strained. >> i'm sick of this [bleep]. are you out of your mind? there's no [bleep] way. >> i'll do anything to fix this business. >> the business was $200,000 in debt. no cash to buy cars, they were weeks away from closing. >> my job's on the line. >> but i knew it had potential to make a lot of money. so when you take my check, for the next week i'm 100% in charge, which means what i say goes. because change is coming. so i made a deal and invested $200,000 for 100% of car cash. jon and andrew are licensees of mine. you guys will share in a percentage of those profits without having to put up a dime or do a day's worth of work. i fixed their car buying process. point out the defects with the car. "you can get this replaced. it costs 300 or 400 bucks." make sense? >> i like that. >>
