Blake Griffin Has a Horror Story About Donald Sterling's "White Party"
Old-man-yelling-at-clouds (but only cumulonimbus clouds, because they're black) Donald Sterling is basically out of our lives forever after a racist meltdown forced him to sell the L.A. Clippers, but Clippers star Blake Griffin still has to live with his chilling memories of Sterling's infamous "White Party."
Griffin told Conan O'Brien that when he first attended Sterling's annual bash (which requires guests to wear white, not to be white, although it's easy to see how one could make that mistake) Sterling led him by the hand all night and walked him through the same creepy, vaudevillian introduction over and over.
Now poor Blake Griffin lies awake for hours every night with Sterling's terrifying voice echoing in his head. "This is Blake, our newest star. Our newest star. Our newest star..."
He wakes up in a cold sweat, swearing he just felt a clammy hand touching his, but there's no one there.
"But in the end, I'm just happy he's gone," Griffin wrote in his Players' Tribune article about Sterling earlier this month, "I think about him pulling me around the White Party in Malibu, and a saying comes to mind: 'Some people are so poor, all they have is their money.'"
