The Sterling Affairs — A 30 for 30 podcast, how to listen

30 for 30 Podcasts and The Undefeated present The Sterling Affairs, a multipart podcast series that examines Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s rags-to-riches rise, unlikely role as an NBA team owner, and his ultimate downfall. (0:30)

The Sterling Affairs is a story of power and scandal in Los Angeles. When an audio recording of a racist rant by former Clippers owner Donald Sterling was leaked online in 2014, it caused an uproar that changed the NBA forever.

But Sterling had been a problem for decades — in basketball, real estate and more. Why did it take 30 years to finally hold him accountable?

“The Sterling Affairs” is a five-part series from 30 for 30 Podcasts and The Undefeated, produced in collaboration with Western Sound. The series is reported and hosted by ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. All five episodes will be available Aug. 20. More at 30for30podcasts.com/sterling
