He was like, I always wondered. What happened to the kid? I think he was like the coach's son. I was like, coach's son? That was Coach Mike. He was like, man, little dude, handicap, you know what I mean? Like, handicap? Like, who the fuck on our team was handicapped?
He was like, man, little dude, like, he looked like he was the coach's son because he could play, and the coach played him, you know, but he would, like, throw him in there, but the kid just couldn't keep up. But he could play, but he just, he was like, there's something wrong with his leg. Like, he had a, you know, like, I was like, coach, that was me. He was like, man, no way. Get out of here.
I was like, yeah, that was me basically my ninth grade year trying to get on.
Yeah.
It was like, get out.
Well, the thing is like the people who are telling the stories, right, are doing it for a whack ass TV show, you know what I mean? A whack ass documentary and I'm a storyteller so I know who was there, you know what I mean? No disrespect to Ramona Sherbourne but she wasn't even a, she was a rookie. when I got there.
And so I look at that and I look at people and say, oh, y'all just gonna take this story and run how y'all wanna run. Oh, y'all other athletes, y'all gonna take this story and wave a black power fist sign. Man, I'm not with none of that. You know what I mean?
Because what I had to do was I had to understand this man, right, to be able to articulate what type of person he was, what type of business he ran, and all the people who worked for him. And what they had to do, whether they wanted to or not. He's the boss. Yeah. And wherever their moral compass was, they was fucked too. So there's a lot of fuckery going on.
And so when you have somebody, and I have to make sure that people know, Donald Sterling is not a racist. He is a hate everybody-ist. He don't give a shit. He don't understand blacks, Latinos, Asians, white people. He don't understand shit. He's delusional. And so whatever he says to you is like whatever the fuck he's thinking. And he is beyond ignorant, right?
And so when you have that much money and you use the team as your scapegoat, if you use the team as a media play for your other business, like he wasn't a basketball fan. Basketball was just a real estate holding that he probably didn't even like, but he knew it gave him fame and notoriety and shit like that.
I would have to walk into the Clipper practice site and see the person in community relations bawling her eyes out. Now I gotta go to work, just like she at work, but I gotta stop Going into the gym, getting my shit together to make sure like, hey man, don't worry about it. You know what I mean? He ain't gonna do nothing.
I became now the only person who cared about other people because I saw with the Clippers, there was no care. Everybody was there telling on each other, snitching on each other, backstabbing people. And the people who were actually honest and working and hardworking that were scared and terrified, they had nowhere to go. You know what I mean? They had nowhere to go. And people need a paycheck.
You ain't getting no other job coming from the Clippers back then. Ain't nobody hiring no motherfuckers from the Clippers. So you are at the bottom of the bottom in the worst environment and industry You worked for him. It didn't matter with the team. The team was just a tool. The players were just tools, right? They were never to be understood by him.
And so when you have people like Ramona, you know, or other...
Oh, man, that's bullshit, man. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. I don't know the real story. I went in the locker. I went to that game. I literally went to that game because I wanted to see what they were going to do. You know what I mean? And when you look at that squad, none of them dudes was playing like all of a sudden, oh, you hella woke because the media say you gotta be woke.
If you was that woke, if you cared that much, if you was standing up to racism, if you wanted to make a statement, why the fuck didn't you not play that game? Suckers. They weak. It's weak. It was weak. Everybody in the league was ready to shut down for you. And what y'all do, y'all turn y'all jerseys over, ran out there, got y'all ass whooped, and asked for people to feel sorry for you.
And then here, you know, and then Doc standing out like, you know, like he a black figure. You know what I'm saying? For me, that's why I don't like talking about it, because I start picking apart all the pieces and saying the reason why I don't say nothing, because I got a lot to say, and I know what the fuck I gotta say, and then everybody else are opportunists in this situation.
So when opportunists are mining, I get out of that.
No, that's not true. That's not true. That's not because I remember I went to work every day. My problem. with all the other players, was they didn't give a fuck. You know what I mean? And I could not, for the life of me, figure out, but that's why when we had the Lob City stuff, when we started that with Blake and DeAndre, when Blake got there, it was different, because Blake was different.
He was the number one pick. Him and DeAndre were on their way up, and Blake didn't give a fuck about none of it. And so I was finally starting to see, hold on, these young kids, they just hooping. I come from an era where I had to deal with owners and deal with all this shit and I'm seeing everything, they just seeing the gym, you know what I mean?
