ESPN's Baxter Holmes Gives Insight Into Robert Sarver Investigation
ESPN's Baxter Holmes was the person who ignited the entire investigation into Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver after a report last November found evidence of racism and sexism directed towards players and employees.
Now, with over 300 people interviewed and 80,000 documents reviewed, the NBA has finally laid down a punishment in the form of a $10 million fine and a one year suspension.

"He also referenced how, 'how can we know what's in someone's heart?' This also came up a lot during the reporting process, and individuals would say why necessarily does it matter what's in someone's heart when maybe the most important thing is what they do, their actions, that potentially speak louder than words."
