"Broken old mummy"?--after all he's done for NBA?

Broken Old Mummy Kobe Bryant Out For Season
Albert Berneko, Jan. 23, 2015, Deadspin

The Lakers weren't going anywhere, anyway; the best possible outcome for this season was for this rotten team to lose enough games to keep its top-5 protected pick in the upcoming draft, so even if Kobe could play again this season, neither he nor L.A.'s brass have any incentive to put more basketball on his weary bones before November. And that's if you accept the dubious proposition that Kobe was helping the Lakers win games in the first place.

The NBA's advisory and finance committee met via conference call Wednesday and addressed the process and timing regarding the termination of Donald Sterling's ownership of the Clippers, according to a statement released by the NBA.

The committee, which vowed last week to work "expeditiously" toward prying the team from Sterling, planned to meet again next week.

It is made up of 10 NBA owners, including Jeanie Buss of the Lakers, who could not be reached for immediate comment.

The committee also reviewed the status of the search for a new chief executive for the Clippers. Andy Roeser, the team executive in charge of business operations, took a forced leave of absence Tuesday. He was regarded as Sterling's right-hand man.
