Donald Sterling’s rise to fame was as the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. His association with the Clippers dates back to 1981 when he paid $12.5 million for the franchise while it was still based in San Diego. Sterling significantly influenced the path of the franchise throughout his 33 years as owner.

However, a 2014 scandal cast a shadow over Sterling’s ownership. His racist comments about his then-mistress were leaked in an audio clip, which landed him in hot water. Players, fans, and the league reacted quickly to the incident, and it pressured Sterling into selling the team. In reaction to the uproar, Shelly Sterling, his estranged wife, helped sell the franchise to Steve Ballmer for a record-breaking $2 billion.
Most recently, Shaun Livingston who used to play in the Clippers under Donald Sterling was asked about his experience with the same. And boy, “it was weird!”
