Many people's impression of Sterling is racist.

In fact, this guy has been at the helm of the Clippers for 25 years since he bought the Clippers in 1981, and he is the longest-serving owner in the NBA.

It stands to reason that such an old guy should be highly respected.

But...... In NBA circles, Sterling is perceived as a miser, a nymphomaniac, a racist and a rogue clown.

The reason why the Clippers have been a fish belly team for a long time is because Sterling is unwilling to spend money.

As soon as Li Lei broke out of his injury, this guy took the opportunity to reduce the price, and he also withdrew.

The Clippers once organized a shooting contest for fans, and the winner was awarded $1,000. But in the end, Sterling was reluctant to give the $1,000.

In addition, he asked the head coach Paul? Silas personally bandages the players just to save money on hiring trainers.

Advertise, the app I've been using recently, Android and Apple phones are all supported!

And these are just the tip of the iceberg of Sterling's life.

After pursuing Li Lei but failing to do so, Sterling expressed his displeasure in front of the media.

"He's nothing, there's a lot of better No. 3 in the league than him. Cameron, LeBron, Ron, Paul, Tracy, Larry...... He's got to be behind them, even lower! ”

Co-author: This is because of love and hate?

That's not what you said when you were courting someone.

At the beginning, it was sweet, and now it is daylily.

Can't catch up, just turn your face?

"He's only got these glory because he's lucky. My grandma was able to win the championship with O'Neal and Wade. ”

"Plus, he stole Wade's FMVP."

Some people will say that Sterling is a billionaire, how could he say such stupid things?

That's the owner of the NBA who you think too highly of.

In the summer of 1996, the Knicks, with the league's permission, planned to use $30 million to sign Michael, whose second career contract had just expired. Jordan.

This forced Bulls owner Reinsdorf to match an annual salary of $30 million, and eventually kept Jordan.

This is the end of the matter, and as a result, Reinsdorf was very unhappy, and said to everyone: I don't think Jordan is worthy of an annual salary of $30 million.

What do you guess Jordan would think?

But anyone who has a little wisdom has given all the money, and why is he talking all this nonsense?

Can you still get 30 million back?

You might as well tell someone that I think Jordan is worth more than $30 million, or more.

Anyway, the money is given, and if you say a few good words, you can still have a good relationship with Jordan.

As a result, Reinsdorf insisted on saying that Jordan was not worth it, and directly stiffened the relationship between the two.

Are you stupid or not?

At the end of the day, it's about being careful.

At the beginning of the season, Li Lei was absent due to injury, and the Grizzlies lost 10 in a row, once at the bottom of the league.

Raheem Sterling jumped out at the time: "The Grizzlies traded Stone as a stupid deal, and no wise general manager would be willing to give him a five-year, $80 million salary, it's definitely a poison contract." ”

"Look, the Grizzlies have lost consecutive battles, and they are completely hopeless."

For such a clown, Li Lei is trying to fight back, Jerry? Old Man West made a move.

"Poison contract? Hehehehehe! ”

"We gave Stone $80 million for five years because we could only give that much."

Grizzlies owner Michael? Haisley later said: "I can offer Stone a bigger contract if the league allows it. He's worth more than this contract! ”

Look, make a judgment!

A braised egg cried and fainted in the toilet.

If Reinsdorf had spoken the same way, boiled eggs, uh no! It's Jordan who can't die for him.

Just like Li Lei, after listening to the words of the boss and manager, can you not be moved?

Whether it's true or fake, at least it doesn't look pretty.

Say a few nice words, and the league can't really let you open a bigger contract.

If you don't spend a penny, you earn a personal favor.

But Sterling was still tough-tongued, saying in front of the media: "With Corey (Margety), the Clippers' No. 3 position is strong and there is no need for reinforcements. I think Corey is a great small forward for Bistone! He's strong, more experienced and very good at breaking through. ”

Margeti: "......"

I don't know.

Margeti had a sense of foreboding, but nothing happened, and he forgot about it.

Little did he know that a week later, he would want to cut himself because of his boss's words.

……

Later, Li Lei made a comeback and led the Grizzlies to a wave of four consecutive wins, showing his value.

Sterling had to shut up.

Regarding Li Lei's performance in these four games, Margeti ...... Forget it.

……

This matter was forgotten.

However, Li Lei rarely went back to Los Angeles to play once, and wanted to take Avril and her parents to watch the game live.

Li Lei found someone and asked the Clippers for three front-row tickets, and it was okay to spend money.

It's a trifle, and it's nothing more common in the NBA, and the Clippers staff agreed.

But later, Sterling happened to know about it, and he strictly ordered anyone not to give Li Lei tickets, and not to sell them at a high price.

Li Lei: "......"

I'm Nima!

Does it smell familiar?

On March 6, 2000, O'Neal's birthday night wanted to invite his family to watch the game and asked the Clippers management for tickets, but the Clippers refused.

What happened next.

O'Neal was furious, scoring a career-high and scoring a brutal rebound with 3 assists.

And let the Clippers' two bench centers combine for 11 points, 8 rebounds and 11 fouls.

The Clippers, presumably, have forgotten this memory.

It's only been more than 6 years, so I'm really forgetful!

O'Neill didn't know where to find out about this, so he called Li Lei: "My dear little brother, do you need my help to get a few tickets?" ”

Come on.

If you could, would you have been ignored by the Clippers back then?

However, Li Lei still thanked O'Neill for his heart: "No need, tonight's game will be bloody and not suitable for live viewing." ”

O'Neill on the other end of the phone smiled directly: "Are you planning to ......?"

Li Lei's voice sank: "Hmm! ”

O'Neill laughed: "Good, good! Bring me with me, Sterling, that old pervert, wanted to beat him up for a long time, he only scored 61 points back then, and now that I think about it, it's so little. ”

O'Neill's words are a bit blowing.

But it's O'Neill after all!

A center who relies on all 2 points to score 60+ can have a much higher gold content than a guard's 60+.

"Don't worry, I'll take your share!"

Li Lei said coldly.

"And mine!"

"Mine!"

"Me too!"

……

On the other end of the phone, there was a noise, with Wade's shout, Haslem's roar, and the voices of Walker, White Chocolate, Wang Zhizhi and others.

O'Neill added at the end: "We don't have a game tonight, let's go back to my house and have a party together, and watch the game by the way." ”

Li Lei hung up the phone.

It looks like he's going to work harder tonight, he can't be embarrassed in front of his old teammates!
