NBA selling 'We Are One' T-shirts

The NBA and adidas are selling "We Are One" T-shirts with the Los Angeles Clippers' or league's logo on them.

The phrase was first posted on the Clippers' website on Tuesday, the day NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that he was fining owner Donald Sterling the league-maximum $2.5 million and banning him for life for racist comments he made.

The youth-sized "We Are One" shirt is selling for $19.95 on the league's website, while the men's shirt costs $23.95 and women's cut retails for $29.95.

An NBA spokesperson confirmed that all proceeds will go toward anti-discrimination and tolerance organizations, which will also be the beneficiaries of Sterling's fine money.

To use the phrase, the league signed an agreement with We R One, a clothing company out of Washington, D.C., that owns the trademark. Former NBA players Steve Francis, Sam Cassell and Nick Van Exel are partners in the company.

Using "We Are One" for the website campaign was the idea of ad agency HEILBrice, which took it from Clippers coach Doc Rivers. Rivers wrote the phrase on the whiteboard in the locker room before Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors, the team's first game since its owner's comments were published by TMZ.

The NBA also made a "We Are One" TV ad, which aired Tuesday, and the Clippers' official radio broadcaster, KFWB, handed out "We Are One" signs to fans at the Staples Center.

On Saturday, the league said it would appoint a CEO to run the Clippers on a day-to-day basis, even though Sterling's wife, Shelly, co-owns the team and was not sanctioned.

The Clippers play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday night.

That's cool Steve Francis got some income on the way. Just hoping he don't........

Raptors Interested In Pursuing Vince Carter

The Toronto Raptors are internally considering pursuing Vince Carter in free agency.

Carter wants to re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks by all accounts after finishing his three-year, $9 million deal.

Carter was traded by the Raptors to the then-New Jersey Nets in 2004.

Used to hate him but now I'm less salty about the whole situation. Bring old man Vince home for one more playoff run fuck it. We need a backup SF too.

Nah I don't think anyone gives a fuck about the pacers like that anymore they've been getting more attention for being trash as opposed to the golden boys of the nba when they were winning in the beginning. As long as the spurs have a quality opponent against them it'll be fine and okc still got a lot of love man especially with durant pretty much getting mvp.

ESPN will try to put the ECF on the Food Network if they can't talk about Lebron vs the Pacers all day. And ESPN "likes" OKC (hell, errbody does except for rival-team fans and nikkas on the cheapseats that got drop-kicked into their feelings by me.)

But they would much rather talk about the Clippers, because then they can interview a bunch of bandwagon L.A. celebs on First Take.
