ESPN 30 For 30 Podcasts ''The Sterling Affairs'' Debuts


The Sterling Affairs
The Sterling Affairs

30 for 30 Podcasts, with The Undefeated, has debuted all five episodes from a new season of audio documentaries. "The Sterling Affairs" examines the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, his rags to riches rise, his ultimate downfall and how it all impacted the NBA. The series is reported on and hosted by ESPN Senior Writer Ramona Shelburne and produced by 30 for 30 and The Undefeated. "The Sterling Affairs" were produced in collaboration with Western Sound.

The season explores basketball in Los Angeles, focusing on Sterling's ruthless real estate empire, his unlikely role as owner of the NBA's least successful franchise, and the scandal that rocked the sports world 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. The podcast features original in-depth interviews with Sterling's wife Shelly Sterling, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, Clippers announcer Ralph Lawler, NBA Executive Director Michele Roberts and NBA players Andre Iguodala & Blake Griffin, among others.

In five episodes, "The Sterling Affairs" paints a picture of a city and a league in transition: the Showtime Lakers vs. the sad-sack Clip-show that came to define his tenure; how the Clippers turned into winners; and the moment when NBA players and a new league commissioner found their voice and ushered in a new era.
