The Worst NBA Owner: Donald Sterling
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2018
- NBA owners come in all sizes: the overbearing loudmouth, the cheapskate, the hands-off for better or worse. But when it comes to the worst ever, there's nobody who touches former Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

“Do you think he’s a racist?” “Of course he is.” The lack of hesitation has me 🤣🤣
Joshua Howard he said it so quick😂
He like that one racist uncle that has the confederacy flag in his house
Papa Dragon that’s not what he said. sure it doesn’t represent racism but it implies it. educate yourself.
@@yagembr3179 that's not racist
Lollipopjoe then so does BLM. It doesn't represent it but it implies it. Just ask Talcum X.
Donald Sterling was the worst NBA owner even before his racism was revealed. His racism being revealed finally alleviated us of him being an NBA owner.
I wish Dolan was a racist
Don’t really care much for Sterling but you’re definitely making it harder to dislike him.
Glenn Melvin Racism is a human right, stop the oppression
It's more like a human concept...a retarded cringy far-left concept.
@Big Poppa Botch Even by the internal logic of your view, the NBA owners then also have the right to disassociate themselves from Sterling because it is bad for business. Freedom of speech does not remove the consequences of that speech as everyone else is able to disassociate from and/or freely state the stupidity of being racist. There are good people of every race and there are bad people of every race, to assume a person is good or bad based upon the amount of melanin of their skin is asinine.
R.I.P. to Elgin Baylor 🙏🏼
He's dead?? I hate finding out this stuff in comments sections.
indeed ❤❤🙏🙏😢😢
James Dolan's like: "Just give me another 10 years and I'll show you Worst."

Sell Your Team, Dolan!
Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce all got drafted in the Olowokandi draft. That's just awful.
Fun fact - we actually drafted Vince Carter!... and then had him for about 15 minutes till we traded him to Toronto for Antawan Jamison, the guy the Raptors selected right before us. Too bad, a team with J-Rich, Vince, and Gilbert Arenas would've been so glorious. Hell, speaking of, the Raptors had Carter, T-Mac, Billups, and Marcus Camby on their roster at one point. They were the OKC of the 90's. Nailed it in the draft and then pissed it all away.

Cos it´s the Clippers. Back in the mid 2000s when they made it to the POs I remember discussing this with a few friends and I just said. "For the 1993 season you could have given them the Dream Team of Barcelona and somehow they would have found a way not to make it to the Finals"
well, the video says it all, he hired and fired coaches like they were toilet paper, kept elgin baylor as GM for like 15 years and he did a lousy job at it
@@thedayxyz He receives tax subsidies that keep these teams alive. If at the end of the day the owners had to pay huge taxes for everything you would see a totally different culture,
@@thedayxyzin fairness to DS over the last 2 decades few teams have kept a coach for many years and wouldn't hiring the first African American GM be a positive? Worst owner in the league is MJ yet the commissioner would never force him to sell his team no matter how bad of a job he did..

@@greedy6217 and he still hasn't lived up to that "second coming" hype bullshit.
At one point Kobe was considering signing with the Clippers and Jerry West called him and told him you don’t want to play for that guy. Something tells me his racist views were pretty well known in NBA circles before they became public knowledge. Also do one about the worst owners in the NFL: Jimmy and Dee Haslam.
The Haslams are bad, but not the worst. That title goes to Dan Snyder
Nah honestly im not really into curses but if ever a team could honestly say theyre cursed its the browns, no matter who is in charge theyre likely screwed
Dan Snyder is also much more controversial and turned a team that was a legit contender into 2 decades of sadness and failure, Haslams team was already trash he just made them more trash
@@adamnovak7602 Facts. Washington's only hope at this point is for a racist tape from Snyder to be leaked to the media.
Their brother Bill Haslam was my mayor and governor for a while in Tennessee.
He sucks as much at public policy as they suck at ownership!
@@flash012234 well they have a huge sexual harassment scandal that is putting him on the hot seat. Plus the other owners were clearly irritated by his unwillingness to stop using redskins as he made it a bigger deal than it really should have been

Those checks were always on time lol
@muammer kaddafi -- Slave owners raped, beat, and killed their own slaves for 400 years. And they were very much racist. What i am getting at is, you can still work for a racist and still not be accepted or respected.

I feel bad for San Diego. They lost their Clippers and their Chargers due to bad owners. Now they only have the Padres
"Sorry, this one got a little dark." Sounds like something Sterling would say.
I know this comment is old, but it's absolutely glorious!
That's actually pretty funny.
The fact that Sterling lazily copied the Lakers logo for the Clippers logo should've broadcasted to everybody just how cheap and horrible Sterling's ownership was going to be.
facts i dont care hes racist i only hate him because hes a bad owner
@@captainfangle2245 L
@@captainfangle2245 In a league with so many talented black players, being a racist makes you a bad owner *by definition*, because your racist views will inevitably alienate all of aforementioned talented players because you couldn't put your best financial and business interests over your dipshit prejudices
Actually met him when and his wife when I worked at a store in NYC, his wife overheard us talking about basketball and she jumped all into the conversation. Then when his old racist ass came lumbering behind her I recognized him immediately. He talked to me like I was a servant or something while I was checking out his items too, so he definitely lived up to his reputation.
imagine owning a professional sports team where the sport's league is made up of 70% black people and you're racist.
That’s probably WHY he’s racist
I mean that makes a lot of sense. You OWN a team lol they don't care about the player
You’re looking at it wrong. Sterling thought that the players were stock, not people. That the players were just there for his entertainment and nothing more than a marking on a ledger. An expense.
@@jpmnkyI mean a lot of owners and fans agree with that.
Lot's of racist people have a black workforce, look at Robert E. Lee.
I'm shocked the Clippers had like 3 winning seasons in 30+ years, won one playoff series, and that somehow makes them go from 13 million to 2 billion.
You can thank the rest of the NBA.
@@malgold88 also the fact that they are from LA
If you're rich, it's almost impossible to not get richer.
He could of went 0-81 every year and the investment would of been the same. Even among rich folks no one predicted this jump
Lob City. They were the most entertaining team for a couple years. Jamal Crawford dazzling off the bench, CP3 crossing people up and lobbing to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Pretty understandable when you think about it.
And I say this as a laker fan. It was a tough few years while they were winning and raining confetti like they won a championship lmao.
"Takes my shoes off and licks my feet"....man I cant imagine anyone on earth enjoying that, poor girl Lol

Bro the amount of coaches the team went through is horrendous
It may be one of the more overlooked achievements in Larry Brown’s coaching career that he got two of the four lower playoff teams in LA before 2010.
Next should be the Worst WNBA owner: Kelly Loeffler
"Do you think she's a racist?" "Of course she is."
They're all terrible teams.
The Kobe and/or Luke Walton Lakers 😂😂😂
Matt Mamba clearly was Luke's Lakers
robbed of 2 Finals MVPs
@Grant Dowling Tell that to Kobe Stans I mean Kobe Fans
💀💀💀
I'm happy for Luke. Luke Walton Skywalker used the force to win ... The force just happened to be name Kobe Bryant.
Luke became a champion just like his Daddy Bill. Remember Bill Walton -- the Portland Trail Blazer's center during their heyday?
Bill Walton says all the problems with his Blazers are pretty much due to his success. They got 2-3 real good MVP years out of Walton and won a ring, then wanted more waltons after he got hurt. Unfortunately, they picked Sam Bowie who was even more brittle than Walton, and became perpetual losers.
You left out when Sterling practiced illegal racial segregation in his apartments.
So did our President

“GM Baylor retired after 22 years” .. WHAT?!?! How da fuq was he GM for so long
I don't think Sterling ever really cared if the Clippers won. The team was just a capital investment to him.
Collecting that check lol
Maybe Sterling thought he was "working for free" and it was time to move him into the big house
If I understood it correctly this was his second time as a Clippers GM... reSIGNING after 22 years

Well San Diego tries to hard to be like LA.

Gotta applaud the Clippers for the quick recovery they made after what transpired the past couple of years
Becaise ballmer invested and the team is a pro now. The video didnt mentioned, but sterling never gave a max to a rookie. The first was elton brand in 2004, i guess

You might have to put the Knicks owner as an honorable mention after this free agency...
I’m talking about basketball decisions specifically in this case.
Michael Jordan is muuuch worse
Nathan Shlapobersky the knicks haven’t been relevant since the 90s they had two good seasons. After that and that’s pretty much it and the owner doesn’t give a crap whatsoever atleast Jordan is actively involved (granted with terrible decisions) in drafting free agency etc
@@jorgeanta2912 The nets were in a position where they were by far the worst team in the league and didn't have their draft picks, and less than 5 years later they got Kevin Durant and Kyrie. If Brooklyn can turn around and become good, so can the Knicks
Archduke Franz Ferdinand but the owner decided to call it quits and they fired their manager who got them there in the first place again the knicks haven’t been relevant since the 90s and only had two good seasons since then Bc of how dysfunctional that organization is

I remember when his racism and expulsion went down and some of my facebook friends defended him. They legit thought his rights were being violated. That was the worst.

"I'm not a racist"
Something a racist would say
It's also something a non-racist would say. What matters are the actions.
Hell, many Innocent people say they are too. I've seen many cases where people accused of crimes say they're innocent, and then are proven to be just that in court. (and yes, I'm speaking of my poor associates who didn't have fancy lawyers to get them off, but sweated it out).
Good thing I always say Im a racist.
@@paysonfox88 actually no, in this case someone who was not a racist would say something else.
If someone says something horribly bigoted and then says they're not a bigot it shows they are such bigots they can't even understand what they did wrong. In essence doubling down. Someone who wasn't racist would have a explanation for why they said something racist.
Here's an example "hey person A I have a recording of you saying something racist"
person A "you are absolutely right that those words are racist and even though there's context that mitigates what I said, I still shouldn't have said it."
If instead they said "despite these recorded words and actions of me being racist I don't think I did or said anything racist because I'm not racist" you know they're super racist.
You're welcome for helpful life advice for spotting racist idiots!
Sergio Antuña great strategy 10/10

My favourite story about the Sterling-era Clippers comes from Keith Olbermann's old ESPN show from 2014:
"I've been on Donald Sterling's spitlist since 1986... I was the sports director of the LA station that carried their games, and I had the nerve to criticize them. Sterling first tried to get me fired; when that didn't work he had his team president ban me from games & practices. As a postscript at the bottom of my letter of banishment was a note directed to then-GM Elgin Baylor: 'PS', it read angrily, 'Elgin: Make sure he is also removed from our mailing list for press releases!'
Starting the next week I began to receive _two_ copies of every Clipper press release. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about this rot-gut franchise, I don't know what will!"
have you ever seen rob parker give sports analysis?
Elgin is a savage apparently lol
KO's pretty bad (and hasn't done anything worth a damn since he and Dan Patrick caught lightning in a bottle) but worst? Nah, not in a sports landscape that includes Nick Wright, Colin Cowherd, every sports radio host in Boston...
joeylawn36111 Wake up, there is politics in everything. Don't be so salty and have real criticisms about the value of their political comments

Sterling should have been exposed for racism for how he ran his real estate empire.
Also the 92 LA riots happened on April 29th, 1992
"There was a riot on the streets tell me where were you"?
The Clippers just need to close up shop and move to Seattle and become the Sonics again.
nah Steve Ballmer will build the next best thing with Jerry West in LA with the Clippers.
They can’t be the Sonics because the Sonics already existed at the same time as the Clippers. The only way the Sonics can come back to the league is if it’s an expansion team or if the OKC Thunder moves back to Seattle because technically the Thunder still has the Sonics franchise history and records.
Or move back to San Deigo, Spanos made that city had the Chargers and moving the Clippers would only piss off whatever fraction of non-Lakers fans LA has.
@@lil_james1584 When they existed has nothing to do with it. If a team were to move to Seattle (as the Kings almost did a few years ago) the ownership group would rename the team the Sonics. The Thunder do have Seattle's records but Seattle still owns the colors/name and I don't see any reason OKC would want to hang onto everything else if/when Seattle does get a team back.
James Jackson Ummmm Yes it Does matter Genius. Smh!!! The Damn Clippers CANT be the Sonics because they existed at the SAME DAMN TIME as the Sonics. You can’t just replace their own history by taking somebody else’s. The NBA would never allow that. And not just the NBA, but other leagues wouldn’t do it that way either. The franchise records and history of both teams would be all out of order. Smh!!!!
I gotta say this felt a lot more like a legacy of failure than a worst, where my Tree fans at

Robert Sarver: “Allow me to introduce myself”
It was known more or less that Sterling was racist - but before this final row over Magic Johnson, he was on his way out of being the worst owner in the NBA. He'd finally managed to put together a winning team when he traded for CP3 and then hired Doc Rivers. And for once, he was beginning to look like a good guy, speaking nicely even to some difficult players, all the while his team began putting up winning season after winning season. And then it all came undone when he railed against "black people," although he's right about Magic Johnson's private life being a bad example.
the worst home run derby next
or mlb all star game
Cliff Paul, that would be the 2002 edition (I think) which ended in a tie and ushered in the era of the "meaningful" All-Star Game, no doubt.

Ok. This is my third episode. You do mix pop culture with subject matter, I love that. Good job. You asked for feed back, I enjoy your own personal opinions, or little jabs at something but I could see how that would turn some people off.
I enjoyed this video very much, except there's one small thing I need to point out: In 1997, the L.A. Clippers actually made the NBA Playoffs with a 36-46 record. Admittedly, however, the Clippers were swept 3-0 by the Utah Jazz. The Karl Malone/John Stockton Utah Jazz. So, to be fair, I could see why no one remembers this.
@Fries, you can say that again! 🤬
RIP Elgin Baylor, thank you for this gem!
Thank you for the short history of the “San Diego” Clippers. Don’t hear too much about that. This Sterling fellow was a piece of work.
I really liked the way you explained the timeline
Everything about this video is just really enjoyable to watch
Don’t recall where I heard this but it is a fact Sterling and Laker owner at the time, Jerry Buss were good friends. Jerry reached out to Sterling apparently to buy the Lakers and that never happened. Sterling, like any other rich man, realized what he missed out on and that’s how he ended up buying the Clippers. I even remember when their media announcer Ralph Lawler mentioned in one of his last games as their employee on convincing Ralph to not leave giving him the wait till next year bargain. I remember going to Clipper games just to see the visiting teams when they still had a contract to play at the Sports Arena in South Central but I even as a young teen felt that mediocre environment and the lack of taste of the experience. Definitely not a worthwhile memory for me plus the security and ushers weren’t friendly and below standard. I say that cause I asked when the horn sounded if I could go down and ask for autographs and the guy, an old guy who I could tell had been there since before I was born with his just as old baby blue clipper jacket denying me. As far as I remember, the Clipper franchise was the only one that wouldn’t let me in the box seat area after the game for that reason. Yeah, the fans matter buddy.

It’s crazy to think the Clippers went from the worst owner in the NBA in Donald Sterling to the best owner in the NBA in Steve Ballmer!
@Matthew Henninger-Vonada owner doesnt control that. But Balmer has already payed for the Clippers to get a new stadium, seems to have a great relationship with the management and players, and really seems to love the team since he constantly at Clipper games cheering. He also is the richest NBA team owner.
I wouldn't necessarily say best owner myself. One of the better ones nowadays, sure, but not really the best owner right now.
