The sad last chapter of Sterling's life
In the wake of Silver's verdict, Sterling was lost. One minute he'd lash out, the next he was inconsolable and confused. "When this thing first happened, he was kind of like in a trance," says his lawyer, Max Blecher. "It was like a state of shock. His whole system was disoriented."
Sterling had been living across the street from the Beverly Hills Hotel since the end of 2012. His wife of six decades, Shelly Sterling, had kicked him out of the Malibu beach house they shared after he started arguing loudly with a mistress over the phone as the family was sitting down for Christmas dinner. The divide between them grew larger when their son Scott died of a drug overdose a week later and Donald didn't come by the house for nearly 24 hours to console her.

‘Clipped’ is a smartly written saga about the off-court triangle involving Donald Sterling
I like a good sports story as much as the next TV critic, but when it comes to actual professional sports, my lack of interest is exceeded only by my ignorance.

When a recording of racist remarks by Clippers owner Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) becomes public, it creates the media firestorm that somehow passed me by, creating havoc in the Sterling household, the Clippers front office and the NBA.

What We Know About Donald Sterling
April 27, 2014— -- Donald Sterling is no stranger to controversy, even before the an audiotape recording was released purportedly of the Los Angeles Clippers owner making racist remarks in an argument with a woman.
Sterling has owned the team since 1981, making him the longest tenured owner in the NBA, and during that time has faced lawsuits and raised outrage over comments and his "unconventional behavior." This is not the first time he has been accused of racism.
The recording, released by TMZ on Friday, in which a man said to be Sterling asks a woman identified as his girlfriend, V. Stiviano (who is part black), not to publicly associate with African Americans even drew comment from President Obama.
The president called it "incredibly offensive," echoing the reactions of many NBA players and fans.
Oddly enough, Sterling had been scheduled to receive a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP next month, but the organization announced it is now withholding the honor from the longtime donor.
