analyst jeffrey toobin, also former prosecutor. thanks for being with us. these are reports your client has hired multiple investigation firms to look into conduct of other nba owners in the league. can you confirm that? and if so, what's the reason? what's the point? >> right, thank you, anderson. first of all, i'm not going to talk or, you know, discuss speculation in the media that he's done something. i think the bigger picture here, the real issue is there's inconsistency in the conduct. hiring private investigators in the course of a litigation is something which is very normal, it's not spectacular. it happens all the time. but the purpose here is -- and i don't mean to confirm or deny any of this, but something we've been talking about for a long time is that the nba has come out and said, we are the ones to establish the standard. the standard is zero tolerance. but the problem is, their own conduct is inconsistent with that. so if you're going to apply a standard to donald sterling, you should apply it to everybody equall
