After the NBA announced that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling will be forced to sell the franchise and be banned from any association with the NBA for life, many celebrities have come forward with interest in buying the team. The clippers will reportedly go on the market for a record 1.5 billion dollars. Oprah Winfrey is the most viable option for ownership as she has announced that she is interested in a joint ownership with multi-billionaires David Geffen and Larry Ellison. Floyd Mayweather also has expressed interest in the organization, however Mayweather does not currently have enough funds to buy the organization outright and he would likely need to partner up with someone to make the purchase. Other people interested in the Clippers include P Diddy, Matt Damon, and Rick Ross. Despite the NBA mandate that Sterling must sell the team, Donald still insists that the team is strictly not for sale. But in the next couple weeks we will most likely see the ownership of this L.A. team switch ownership.
