As Silver time and again lambasted the Clippers owner for making remarks that went beyond the bounds of decency, Deen provided appetizers, entrees and specialty drinks.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life and fined $2.5 million by Commissioner Adam Silver today, who stressed what he called the most valuable takeaway from this shameful episode.
