Are you ready to see Jay Pritchett as the bad guy? Here, Ed O’Neill portrays infamous LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling. He was a walking liability back in the day on account of his being infamously thrifty, equally erratic and just a little bit racist. Based on the hit podcast The Sterling Affairs, this slick FX production takes us behind the scenes of the notorious NBA owner’s questionable remarks about black people, which were captured on tape and unleashed via the internet in 2014.
When famed coach Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne) arrived as coach of the LA Clippers the year prior, he had the foundation to win the franchise’s first championship. But, let’s not forget, Doc also had to deal with Donald, his ambitious PA/girlfriend V Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman), plus his wife/business partner of 60 years, Shelly (Jacki Weaver). A dewy-eyed Obama-era tale of racial reflection amid memes and consistently unsettling hairpieces.
