the nba made the announcement late last night. in case you may have missed it, here is the main reason. that stomp he gave kings star sabonis. this happened after sabonis grabbed green's leg, but the commissioner's office cited green's history as part of the suspension. we spoke with former warrior and nba champ and he says all of this happened as the warriors were trying to gain momentum. >> at this point in the game, steph is looking for draymond to throw it back to him so he can make a play. draymond knows it and he's trying to run back. and if anybody wants to re-enact that, you know if somebody grabs your foot like that, you step out of balance, whatever it is, i think draymond also tried to embellish the pull so that the refs would see it. all in all, you don't want to see any of this in the game. you just want to see a clean basketball game. >> during the game, draymond could also be seen interacting dramatically with kings fans. some believe this also led to that suspension. now, when you think about the nba's mention of g

was that thrilling to own an nba team? or did you just see it as a business venture? bob: i saw it as the idea of being first. there has been throughout black business history, if you were the first black to do something, you gained visibility, you gained notoriety, you gained access to other people, particularly white business people who knew you by your reputation. so when there was a team coming up for sale in charlotte, i said, you know, why not be first? i had the capital from the sale of bet to viacom, so i said, why not? i decided to make a bid and got a call from some of the business people in charlotte who said we would like you to be the majority owner of the team and we will be minority owners and work with you. and so, it seemed to be the right place and the right time to do something that i thought would be part of being a strategic approach to being first. david: so, you owned the team for about 11 years, then sold it to somebody called michael jordan. bob: i sold it to mj, yes. david: after that, you begin to build a small business empire with investmen

they snapped an nba long 16 season playoff drought.hen in the pacific division as well and undoubtedly, he's the nba coach of the year, but he's not focused on the reunion. he's excited to see what his team can do to try and take the next step . you know, you don't know until you go through it with the group , but they put themselves in pretty good position. and so now let's see if we can continue our momentum going into the playoffs by stepping it up a notch. higher than what the what we did during the regular season. so uh , i'm just as excited to see how we respond as as going to the playoffs. well, somehow, lebron james and the lakers won nine of their last 11 to sneak into the play in tournaments and today's wendover, utah, the 38 year old lebron finished with 36 points, tying called alone for the most 30 point games in nba history. after turning 30 years old laurent had eight triples, one off his career high. the lakers host minnesota on tuesday and the winner of that game, will face memphis in the first round after missing the p

what are the chances that the nba could suspend draymond for game three? is that unlikely for thursday? >> in my heart, i'm hoping that it is unlikely because if you think about the natural motion -- and at this point of the game, this is a really hard thing for me to watch because at this point in the game, the warriors are making a run back into the game. they're starting to get their momentum. draymond green, at this point in the game, steph is looking for draymond to throw it back to him so he can make a play. draymond notices he's trying to run back. in that flow of a run, if anybody wants to reenact that, you know if somebody grabs your foot like that, releases it at that high point, you step oututf balance, whatever it is, i think draymond also tried to embellish the pull so the refs would see it. all in all, i mean you don't want to see any of this in the game. you just want to see a clean basketball game. i hope he does not get suspended for the game tomorrow. >> i think that would be a mistake by the nba. you know these guys so well. you've won a

. >>> developing, a bombshell announcement from the nba. the league has suspended draymond green for one game. he will miss thursday night's game at chase center. what is curious about this decision. it isn't just about what he did last night. but according to the nba, his history of unspoertsunsportsman. last night was just the latest. the stomp that a lot of people are talking about. that's the kings star holding on to draymond's leg at one point. draymond then steps on sabonis' chest. festus ezeli who is a teammate said at this point in the game last night, the warriors were just trying to gain momentum. >> at this point in the game, steph is looking for draymond to throw it back so he can make a play. so draymond knows that he'e's trying to run back. and that floor of a run, if anyone wants to re-enact that, if someone releases it at that high point, you step out of balance. i think he tried to embellish that. so that the refs would see it. all in all, you don't want to satisfy any of this. you want to see a clean basketball game. >> th
