Something that made the then-asinine $450 million he spent to purchase the Warriors in 2010 make sense. On Tuesday he turned the volume up on the personal pride he takes in owning the team and fired Mark Jackson, the man who was able to do something for his franchise that hadn't been done in more than 20 years.

Near the end of his career, he gained fame for his advocacy of Jewish emigration rights from the Soviet Union and for his Jackson-Vanik Amendment, which affected trade relations for communist-bloc countries that restricted human rights.

Jackson chaired the Democratic National Committee in 1960 and ran for president in 19. He became known for his advocacy of labour, civil rights, and defense issues. Jackson chaired the committee of Indian Affairs while in the House and the committees of Interior and Energy while serving as a senator.
