all the owners, i am a former owner of the wnba team. but we all know adam, and adam is a good, decent, measured man. i think that he is right now in a terrible position because whatever sanction he might come up with, it won't be enough for people who like me who just think that when you take a look overwhelmingly at the contracts that the players have in the nba, there are such things as moral clauses. we've seen players sanctioned. we've seen players fined. we've seen players ex-spelled because of things they have said and done. but when you're an owner you're vetted just at the beginning process. when you're checked out to determine whether or not up the finances, the community standing and even the moral character to be the owner of a team, but once you become a member of that board of governors rarely are you subject to further scrutiny except in the area as you say your report financially. it may be time, frankly, for the board of governorrers, the 30 person board of the nba, to determine along with the commissioner that there sho

reaction to this and also someone who knows better than anyone, because she's a former owner of the wnba team, the los angeles sparks. paula madison is joining us. paula, how are you doing? >> i'm great, don, thank you for inviting me. >> thank you for coming. you know donald sterling, right? so what is your reaction to all of this? >> well, i don't know him, i've met him, but not enough for him to recognize me. the wnba is a division of the nba. and my reaction is one where the overwhelming majority of the players and the wnba and nba are african-american. they are people of color. the majority of the openers are not. owners are not. having said that, i would say the nba has made a concerted effort to get more black owners in the league. there are fewer of them that have been willing to say such statements, and ironically they are saying these statements against african-americans and latinos. if the genology of the young lady who was, i guess, his girlfriend, if that's accurate, she's actually mexican and african-american. so you would think that means that donald sterling can bounce a baske

how a member of the san jose basketball team could make wnba history tonight. these are the hands a pediatrician. these are pioneering advances in heart surgery. and these are developing groundbreaking treatments for cancer. they're the hands of the nation's top doctors. kaiser permanente doctors. and though they are all different, they work together on a single mission: saving lives. discover how we are advancing medicine at kp.org join us, and thrive. >>> a stanford senior is expected to be the top pick in tonight's wnba draft. expected to be picked by the connecticut suns. she is the pac 12 career scoring leading and leading rebounder. wow, she also helped the cardinals through this year's final four. if she is the top pick, the first time in wnba history that sisters were selected as top picks. in fact, the 2012 was picked number one overall by los angeles. pretty remarkable family there. >>> we know the sharks now will play the first round of the playoffs. the. >> the schedule released last night and here is how it looks. san jose will host the first two g

the star player on the cardinal women's basketball team was picked number one in last night's wnba draft. good for her. she'll play for the connecticut sun. she and her sister are the only sister team to be picked number one over all in the history of the league. couple of fantastic players. >>> ncaa basketball tournament has cost a connecticut burrito chain more than $400,000. mo's southwest grill thought it was a great idea to drop the price of the burrito when the men or women's team won. burrito prices dropped to $5. the elite 8 saw prices drop to $4, when both the men and women's teams won the championship, burritos just cut back to a dollar each. fans ate 20,000 burritos costing that chain $435,000 in revenue. >> you hope that maybe the extra business helped a little bit -- >> something in the tip jar. >> that is a big hit in the burrito department there. >> that's one way to put it. >>> all right, we're getting a look, of course, at the forecast out there with christina. she's watching that, as well. >> yeah, good morning to you. temperatures mostly in the 50s out there right now.

wnba, she is taller than 99% of the american population. at just 23 years old, brittney greiner is so good, that the owner of a men's team said he would recruither wise rise to the top has been anything but a slam dunk. sarah hoye has her story. >> reporter: 6'8", size 17 shoe, and 200 pounds of talent. she has been called a once in a generation talent. but it has come at a cost. >> just being cast out, and being so different. and everybody acting like i was just a freak -- i mean just being called freak because i was so different. that was the biggest thing, because i wanted to fit in so bad. so that was the toughest thing i guess i dealt with. >> reporter: today she ask exactly where she wants to be, tucked inside a phoenix arena, the 2013, number 1 wnba draft pick, and three-time all american is getting ready for training camp. the 23-year-old is arguably one of the greatest basketball players in the game. despite the stats or his forbidable premention in the paint she almost didn't make it here. head and shoulders ahead her classmates, she was a highly visible target. her size and signature voice the subject of relentless teasing. the tau

team. >> i challenge women. women don't go. that's the problem with the wnba. the women don't watch.e men that are going. women have to go watch other women. >> that's true. >> in life and in sports. >> in caa tournaments. high school games. >> that will p be good. >> i need an inhaler. >> heather has a sweet three pointer. >> i want to see the guys do it in the heels, like you do. >> i pulled my achilles, but we'll talk about that another time. >> nice job. nice job. >> take it away. >> all right, guys. listen to this story. i want to tell you about this. it's really raising eyebrows among supporters of the second amendment. do you want a gun? wear a bracelet. the attorney general of the united states, eric holder, wants gun owners to wear tracking bracelets. he says he's exploring this option as part of his common sense gun reform. now the bracelets like this one that you can see right here that looks like a watch would be worn by owners before a gun can be fired. holder is also looking into fingerprint identification technology to make sure that the gun is only being fired by its

up to buy a team and scrutinized and interviewed and our financial records are gone over but it's once you're in the club you're in the club. my club was a tiny part of the nba club. the wnbas a small portion of it. but in this case, should i be surprised or any of us be surprised? i think what i'm most surprised by is that somehow his true sentiments were expressed in a way he was very boldly speaking about them. and he thought he was boldly speaking about them to one person. >> it is a most honest moment. steve, i want you to listen to more of the tape. >> nothing more to say. >> i took a picture where someone i admired. >> good. >> he happens to be black and i'm sorry. >> i know him well and he should be admired and i'm just saying it's too bad you can't admire him privately and during your entire [ bleep ] life, you can do anything but don't put him on instagram so the world has to see so they have to call me and don't bring him to my games, okay? >> how does a man who is involved in the nba where black people have been a part of the league's success speak this way or even feel this way. >> first you can see he was threatened by the fact that his woman was taking a pic

team's best interests in mind. last week on this show, former ncaa champion basketball player swin cash, also a member of the wnba's executive committee, had a message for the northwestern coach. >> before i address that, let me address pat real fast. he needs to go and take several seats, first of all, because seriously, pat, you come into these kids' home. you come into mothers and fathers and talk about how i'm going to take care of your kid. no, you're looking out for your own best interest. how can you talk about you care about these players' rights and you have players saying they're hungry, players that are traveling, coming back late night, restaurants and places aren't open to get food. he can go take several seats. i can't even believe he's commenting. coaches, stay out of it. >> nation magazine sports editor dave zyr ocht n expressed similar thoughts writing no matter how tomorrow's vote goes and it may take months before we know the results, the ncaa will never be the same. even after the smoke has cleared, pat fitzgerald should be held accountable for his efforts to use his power over these young men t
