Whatever good I have done, or could still do, is outweighed by things I have said in the past.

For those reasons, I am beginning the process of seeking buyers for the Suns and Mercury, Robert Sarver, via statement.

I do not want to be a distraction to these two teams and the fine people who work so hard to bring the joy and excitement of basketball to fans around the world, Robert Sarver, via statement.

He also "engaged in instances of inequitable conduct toward female employees, made many sex-related comments in the workplace, made inappropriate comments about the physical appearance of female employees and other women.".

I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong.

I don’t need to explain why.

Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself.

, LeBron James, via Twitter.

I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind of behavior.

I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership.

But this isn’t right, LeBron James, via Twitter.

There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place.

Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team.

We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it, LeBron James, via Twitter
