6 part series on FX coming next year...i was a big Blake Griffin fan in those days, so it affected me personally

excerpts:

Along with Laurence Fishburne as coach Doc Rivers and Jacki Weaver as Sterling’s wife, O’Neill, who was also the star of the sitcom Modern Family, will star in "The Sterling Affairs".

Sterling, of course, had been notorious for his constant stream of ignorant proclamations about black people and was fined by the NBA for his behavior several times, even as early as 1982. By 2014, recordings featuring Sterling making a series of racist comments sunk his NBA career. Ultimately, Sterling was fined $2.5 million, banned for life by the NBA, and forced to sell his interests in the Clippers.

Sterling is currently suffering from Alzheimer’s and was removed from leading the Sterling Family Trust. The former NBA owner has been out of the news for several years
