NBA chooses Dick Parsons as interim Clippers CEO

The NBA chose Dick Parsons, a former Citigroup chairman and former Time Warner chairman and CEO, as interim CEO of the Clippers on Friday.

Parsons is hoping for a short stint running the Los Angeles Clippers, though ready to stay on as long as it takes.

Moving the franchise away from Donald Sterling and to new ownership might require a lengthy fight, but it's one Parsons thinks is worthwhile.

"This is an issue that's actually bigger than just the Clippers, bigger than just the NBA in my judgment," Parsons said.
