What seemed like an interminable march from Baxter Holmes’ explosive ESPN story on Robert Sarver’s 18-year run of sexism, misogyny and just enough racism to get the ball through the hoop suddenly became an avalanche of breaking news that culminates, finally, in Robert Sarver’s intent to sell the Phoenix Suns.
Those in and around the team have known the Robert Sarver from Holmes’ story for almost two decades. He’s the same guy today that he was in 2004, assuming he’s above the fray as the team’s managing partner with the license to do anything he wants, act any way he wants, and get away with it.
