Donald Sterling is not going down without a fight. The disgraced LA Clippers owner is refusing to pay the $2.5 million fine levied against him by the NBA and is threatening to sue the league.
Reports in Sports Illustrated and USA Today claim that Sterling’s attorney, prominent antitrust lawyer Maxwell Blecher, sent a letter Thursday to NBA executive vice president Rick Buchanan stating that Sterling has done nothing wrong and “no punishment is warranted” against him.

In the letter, Blecher claims that Sterling has not violated any part of the NBA’s constitution with his racist remarks, which surfaced in a leaked audio recording that was obtained by TMZ.
