b'ESPN 30 for 30 Podcasts, with The Undefeated, presents The Sterling Affairs, a multipart series examining Clippers owner Donald Sterling \\u2013 including his rags-to-riches rise, his unlikely role as owner of the NBA\\u2019s least successful franchise, and his ultimate downfall, 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. This is also the story about how a domestic drama boiled over, putting the NBA in crisis.
