Shelly Sterling’s bid for part ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers might sounds a bit like déjà vu in Los Angeles, where the estranged wife of former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt made similar claims in 2010.
The National Basketball Association began pressuring Sterling’s husband, Donald Sterling, to sell the team after celebrity website TMZ publicized audio recordings of racist remarks he made to a friend. Now his estranged wife claims she is entitled to half the franchise. She’s retained prominent trial attorney Pierce O’Donnell to negotiate and, if required, bring legal action.
