Twitter reacts to Adam Silver press conference pertaining to Donald Sterling
It seems as if the Donald Sterling-dominated day has reached it’s peak.
In Memphis to celebrate the achievements of a small-market team and view game 4 of Thunder-Grizzlies which has been an excellent series, league commissioner Adam Silverwas forced to speak on the matter that’s kept the NBA world abuzz since late last night. And of course, Twitter, as it usually does, commented away, giving their thoughts on the situation.
Here are a few reactions we caught during Adam Silver’s press conference which include personal opinion and some recap from Silvers conference.
Adam Silver: "The audio recording posting by TMZ is truly offensive and disturbing and we intend to get to the bottom of it ASAP."

Silver- "I personally think that this is most unfair to the Clippers players and coaches, who have to deal with such a distraction."

Adam Silver is a lawyer. He's making the right move investigating before punishing Sterling. Get it right. Don't prejudice the process.

Silver worked in the league office but didn't know about Sterling's past misdeeds? #sideeye

Adam Silver got that Gus Fring vibe to him. Might be a kingpin on the low.

Silver said, "We do hope to have this wrapped up in the next few days." His most direct, necessary answer.

I see where this could be going, NBA going to say they can't 100% sure verify the tape and then Sterling will walk away scott free

Whaddya want? Silver to yell out "KING OF THE NORTH" and rush Staples Center. It's a legal process.

Yes. This. All of this. RT @courtside: "David Stern would've..." No. David Stern did, and only did, slap Sterling on the wrist.

Y'all want the players to boycott and Silver to present Sterlings head on a pike but you're still gonna watch that game tomorrow aren't you?
