In August 2019, ESPN launched “Sterling issues” a five-part podcast series chronicling the rise and fall of former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. The project, hosted by veteran NBA reporter Ramona Shelburne, explored how Sterling built a real estate empire, bought the franchise and ultimately lost it after audio recordings revealed he made racist comments in a conversation with his then-lover V. Stiviano .
Nearly five years later, “Clipped” dives back into Sterling’s story. The FX miniseries is based on “The Sterling Affairs” and features an incredible cast including Cleopatra Coleman, Laurence Fishburne, Ed O’Neill and Jacki Weaver.
