shaquille o'neal weighed in after the huge decision. >> realistically the players and the fans, we own the game. the owners are just custodians. most players don't play for the owners. i had one of the greatest owners but as a youngster growing up, i always wanted to make a name for myself and for my family and win for myself. this is the first time that, you know, the clippers have been mentioned with a legitimate chance of winning a title. this could throw a black eye on their season, but you just have to go out and play. it would be a great story if they go despite everything that went on. that would be a hell of a story. >> one, two, three! >> well, last night, game five, there they go. the clippers are one step closer to that reality. they triumph over the golden state warriors and are one more game from advancing to the play offs. many have said that the healing can begin but the fallout is far from over. the nba may want all traces of sterling to be gone but will the league owners vote to make the disgraced business man sell his team or not? and the big question, rachel, we hear

several former nba stars are calling for his head on a platter, shaquille o'neal, magic johnson, charles barkley. is that going to happen? what difference is this going to make in the league? >> yeah, he's gone. you look at adam silver, the new nba commissioner. he wants to make his mark. this is his first big test, and he's going to do it. i want to tell you something else, don, that nobody else is talking about that is very much -- should be of concern to all clipper fans. i've known doc rivers for over 30 years, and doc rivers says what he means and he means what he says. and doc is very upset. before the game today, he talked about how all of this would affect his team in this game, which it did. they lost by 21 points. he said after the game, that usually when you go home, it's a safe haven. he said that's not the case right now. here's the biggest thing that doc rivers said, he's saying now that he doesn't even know whether or not he's going to be back next year with the clippers. he's thinking about making this one and done with them, and just taking off. so that tells you right o
