On the heels of banning Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life and fining him $2.5 million after making racist comments during a private conversation, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has hired former Hollywood private investigator and “Ray Donovan” inspiration Anthony Pellicano to wiretap the other 29 NBA owners’ telephones and homes to find out if they too are racist. Pellicano, who is currently serving the 15-year prison sentence he received in 2008 for illegally wiretapping on the behalf of his celebrity clients, will be given an immediate furlough to allow him to get to work.

“If he’s good enough for Steven Seagal, he’s certainly good enough for the NBA,” Silver told Hollywood & Swine. “Pellicano’s first target will be Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. I’ve been watching several episodes of ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ and I don’t like some of the looks Cuban has given FUBU founder and African-American Daymond John. I think after listening to 100 hours of Mr. Cuban’s private conversations, we’ll find out how he really feels about blacks.”

Pellicano, who at the height of his career, represented such A-list celebrity clients as Seagal, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is grateful not only for the chance to get out of prison, but also for the opportunity to work in the entertainment industry again.

“I’ve spent the past few years in prison reflecting on my misdeeds and channeling my experiences as a Hollywood P.I. and fixer for the stars into a great television spec pilot,” said Pellicano. “We haven’t had cable in prison, but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing like it on television. There’s even a great role for Jon Voight.”
