The year is 2014. Serena Williams won her 18th Grand Slam, LeBron James returned home to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup. But the sports world was shaken to its core when a recording was leaked of Donald Sterling, the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers making racist comments to his then-assistant V. Stiviano. The leak forced the NBA and its fans to confront racial tensions that have been lying under the surface of the NBA for years. Now 10 years later, FX\u2019s limited series \u201cClipped\u201d profiles how the lives of V. Stiviano, Doc Rivers, Shelly Sterling, Donald Sterling, and the rest of the Clippers organization had to reconcile with the consequences of the inaction of one of the most dysfunctional franchises in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
