ESPN 30 for 30 Podcasts, with The Undefeated, presents The Sterling Affairs, a multipart series examining Clippers owner Donald Sterling – including his rags-to-riches rise, his unlikely role as owner of the NBA’s least successful franchise, and his ultimate downfall, when his racist comments, secretly taped by his mistress V. Stiviano, were made public and he was forced by the NBA to sell his team. This is also the story about how a domestic drama boiled over, putting the NBA in crisis. Donald’s wife Shelly Sterling had abided by his infidelity and shameful business dealings, but it was her lawsuit against V. that finally exposed Donald Sterling for all to see.

The Sterling Affairs paints a picture of a city and a league in transition – from the dark days of Sterling’s reign to the team’s reversal into winners -- and the moment when NBA players and a new league commissioner found their voice and ushered in a new era.

Ramona Shelburne – an NBA Insider, senior writer for ESPN, national radio host and ESPN TV contributor – can preview this “almost too strange to believe” story from the 30 for 30 Podcast
