I n April , a tape was leaked of year-old then-Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist comments to his year-old mistress, V. Stiviano, an incident that ballooned into one of the biggest scandals in the NBA and changed the league forever. The recording incited a media frenzyβwhich led to Sterling selling the team and earning a lifetime ban from the NBA βand brought to light Sterling's long and uncomfortable history of racial discrimination, pushing long overdue conversations about race and structural power in not only the NBA, but the world at large.
Now, a decade later, this shocking story is still making waves in Clipped , a new six-episode mini series that revisits the scandal that rocked the NBA. The series aims to provide context around one of the most sensational moments in NBA history and how it impacted power dynamics between players and owners not just in the NBA but across all sports. Adapted from ESPN's 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affair , the series also looks at how the scandal affected the team and its leader, then-head coach of the Clippers, Doc Rivers played by Laurence Fishburne , who against all odds, seemed to finally be breaking the "Clippers Curse," that had plagued the under-resourced and down-on-its-luck team for the majority of Sterling's ownership.
Here's what to know about the scandalous true story behind Clipped. Though Donald Sterling's blatantly racist remarks on the leaked tape were shocking, to many they did not come as a surprise. Sterling had a long, if not especially conspicuous, history of racial discrimination in the world of sports and beyond. Sterling, who made his fortune in real estate, was sued by the US Department of Justice in for longtime housing discrimination, a lawsuit that included claims the Sterlings would not rent apartments to tenants that were Black, Hispanic or had children.
As an NBA team owner, he was accused of racist behavior multiple occasions, including a employment discrimination lawsuit case brought against him by NBA Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor, who was the Clippers' general manager for 22 years.
Baylor quoted Sterling as saying he wanted the Clippers to be comprised of "poor black boys from the South. In The Sterling Affair , former Clippers players Blake Griffin, Ryan Hollins, and Matt Barnes detail how Sterling would often bring people to the locker room to look at the players, while fetishizing their physiques, exhibiting what sports writer Adrian Wojnarowski termed a "plantation prism" mindset; Griffin also said that Sterling would often feel their muscles and encourage his guests to do the same.
