Donald Sterling once introduced Blake Griffin to party guests while holding his hand

Former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling clearly had some issues. In the latest installment of share a freaky story about Sterling, Clippers forward Blake Griffin talks about the time he went to Sterling’s Malibu mansion for his annual all-white party.

Sterling apparently kept Blake close all night, guiding him around the room by hand, asking Blake to tell his guests what he thought of the women in LA… seriously.

Donald Sterling literally introduced me to everyone. Here’s how he did it, every single time, to every single group of people, while holding on to my hand:

“Everyone, have you met our newest star? This is Blake! He was the number one pick in the entire NBA draft. Number one! Blake, where are you from?”

Then I’d say I was from Oklahoma.

“Oklahoma! And tell these people what you think about LA.”

Then I’d say it was pretty cool.

“And what about the women in LA, Blake?”

It was the same conversation with every group of people. When he would start having a one-on-one conversation with someone, I’d try to slip away, and he’d reach back and paw my hand without even breaking eye contact with the person. Whenever he didn’t have anything left to say, he just turned around and walked us over to the next group.

Donald clearly had a slight obsession about his players and women. At one party, he asked Chris Paul why he was married with all the beautiful women in L.A., in front of CP3’s wife.

Which brings us to part two, Sterling also allegedly wanted to ensure that Blake had sampled LA’s finest and had escorts on deck to make it happen if Blake wasn’t able to close the deal.

“Two blonde models showed up on either side of me. They had clearly been hired for the event. I knew this because they were wearing size XXXX-L Clippers T-shirts tied at the stomach. I looked at Sterling. He had a big dumb grin on his face. I looked at one of the girls, as if to say, “Uhhh, you don’t have to do this.” She looked back: “Uhhh, yes I do.”
