Diddy, Floyd Mayweather & More Want To Buy The Clippers
After the NBA's ban on Donald Sterling, many celebs have come forward to buy the LA Clippers.
According to Business Insider, interest was sparked of a possible purchase after Adam Silver said during the NBA press conference that he would try his best to get Sterling to sell the team.
Donald Sterling has shown no interest in selling the team, but that hasn't stopped many stars from making an offer.
Hip hop mogul and Revolt honcho Diddy made it aware on Twitter he wants in.
"I will always be a Knicks fan, but I am a business man. #DiddyBuyTheClippers #NameYourPrice" he tweeted.
Diddy recently lost a bid to Jennifer Lopez for Fuse TV. The mogul's $200 million offer was outbid by Jennifer Lopez for $226 million.
Others who have shown interest were Floyd Mayweather and actor Frankie Muniz.
During a press conference about his upcoming match with Marcos Maidana this weekend, the athlete suggested that a group of fellow billionaires should get together to bid on the team.
Former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz who is a big fan of the team has been thrown in the discussion after the actor posted a lengthy letter about his disgust of Sterling and his strong devotion to the Clippers.
If the stars follow through with bids, they might have a little competition.
Former CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer and his business partner Chris Hansen were recently shopping for teams to move a NBA team to Seattle. Ballmer and Hansen lost a bid for the Sacramento Kings last year when the NBA blocked the $625 million dollar deal.
The LA Clippers are currently worth $575 million.
Do you think any of these guys have a chance of owning the Clippers?
