Apart from the Academy Award-nominated actor playing the NBA coach, Jacki Weaver will play Sterling’s wife Shelly Sterling. Shelburne is also a part of the executive producer’s list for the series. 

The documentary will revolve around Sterling’s ownership of the Clippers and the incident, which led to a lifetime ban. He owned the Clippers for 33 years. This was the season in which he was eventually forced to sell the team.

It happened after a few tapes of Donald making racist remarks leaked, which led to the NBA handing him a lifetime ban. Moreover, there was also the maximum possible fine of $2.5 million. Everyone trashed his reputation rightfully.
