The NBA’s case against Donald Sterling is laid out on in Friday’s Los Angeles Times. The full story is excellent reading, as are Tom Ziller’s three big takeaways. But here, let’s focus on this text message exchange.
V. Stiviano, a Clippers employee, and the greatest botched text ever
‘LET THE GAMES BEGAN’
Clippers employee
”Mr. Sterling said to let me know if you need anything. We don’t want to have any issues at the game.“V. Stiviano
”No tell Mr. Sterling that I don’t need anything nor do I want anything…But thanks for asking. LET THE GAMES BEGAN. . . .“LET THE GAMES BEGAN.
LET THE GAMES BEGAN.
LET THE GAMES BEGAN.

— Michael Katz (@KatzM) May 23, 2014 LET THE GAMES BEGAN is the new anthem. It is the song of the summer. It’s the tattoo you’re getting on your lower back. It’s the words you whisper to yourself when you catch the bus. LET THE GAMES BEGAN works for everything. It’s #blessed. It’s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . It’s what you shout as you skip out the office for a three-day weekend. It’s whatever you need it to be, and whatever you can imagine.
It is history’s greatest botched text message. I love it.
