This might be one of those times to bring out Ron Burgundy to say, “Well, that escalated quickly.”
Disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner definitely has a shady history, and it looks like there is a major creepy side to it. ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne wrote a big piece about Sterling, and it details one very interesting part.
Take a look:
Many people tell you the same detail about meeting Sterling: He likes to grab the crook of your elbow when he’s making a point. He does not let go easily. It’s more creepy than endearing. One noted NBA agent recalls Sterling grabbing one of his biceps, saying, “You’re so strong.” A longtime owner says Sterling once came up to him during a cocktail party at an NBA Board of Governors meeting and stuck his hand inside his shirt to feel his chest muscle. “It’s the only time in my life I said to anyone, ‘Take your hands off me or I’ll punch you in the face,’” the owner says. Sterling backed away. He did not apologize.
I’m really hoping that owner was Michael Jordan.
