Sterling enjoyed being a sports team owner but wasn't all that hungry for face time.

Jerry would die without it.

That's interesting article. "Anything" is only worth what someone will pay for it and it looks like the egocentric billionares of the world are wallowing in so much cash that they are trying to compete for real assets to unload some cash.

Why? He could sell anytime he wants. He doesn't have to be forced to.

Post makes no sense.

The $2 billion is definately an inflated price that is the direct result of the media hype over the Clippers since the Sterling incident.

You don't think that maybe the fact that The Clippers are currently the best basketball team in a huge media market and made it to the Western Conference Semi-finals might have a little to do with it?

Was discussed on CNBC last week... Sports franchises are really the last elite club out there. There are so many billionaires out there, its no longer and elite club. But what is, is owning a sports franchise. There are only so many out there and they rarely come up for sale.

Its the new "Cool kids club"

Still not worth $2billion

The price was inflated because whoever wants to buy the team can appear to be a white knight hero riding in to rescue the damsel in distress team from the evil oppressive racist Sterling. The purchaser gets the good PR and the ability to prove they are not racist at the same time.

That and there is a single buyer who is a mega billionaire who would want to pay $2 billion for the basketball team. After him the dropoff is like $1 billion. There isn't an endless supply of these mega billionaires who want sports teams.

$2B is in-freakin-sane! And they said Sterling was crazy? Balmer is the idiot in this equation.

Clippers had a good year, no doubt, but that shouldn't have inflated the asking price to $2B. One successful year?

Clippers will always be the second most popular team in LA, and I wouldn't be surprised if they moved.

If I was worth $20 Billion then I would definitely buy the Clippers for $2 Billion. Everyone keeps asking why he would spend $2 Billion on the Clippers. When you're worth $20 Billion it's not about "why". It's about "why not?".

$20 Billion is "why not" money. It's "frick you" money on it's own level.

I'd have to guess he didn't get rich by wasting his money.

And why spend $2B when he could have gotten the team for half that? Or hell, 2/3 that?

I enjoy these posts from billionaires telling me how billionaires think, while simultaneously telling others that their expectation of how they think is wrong.

So glad you could tell us all how you billionaires think, champ.
