The world of “Star Wars” is expanding yet again. This week marks the debut of “The Acolyte,” an eight-episode drama that, like “Andor” before it, breathes new life into a world that is perhaps even more familiar than our own at times. The series, the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Disney+, is set 100 years before the rise of the Empire and tells an original story that is full of action and hints at more sinister forces at work in the universe.
Emmy Award winner Lee Jung-jae leads the cast as Sol, an experienced Jedi Master who reunites with Osha (Amandla Stenberg), his former Padawan who left the Order years before, to stop her long-lost twin from using the dark side of the Force to kill the Jedi she believes are responsible for the tragedy that ripped their family apart.

FX’s new sports drama series Clipped brings to screen the shameful story of the Los Angeles Clippers former owner, Donald Sterling, with its two premiere episodes released this week. Based on the fantastic podcast program by ESPN 30 for 30, titled “The Sterling Affairs,” the new miniseries presents a fictional retelling of the very real events that ousted one of the most racist men to have been associated with the USA’s National Basketball Association. While seeing actors play out the roles of players and coaches so popularly seen in the sport even today might be a bit jarring, Clipped will hopefully bring more attention to the sporting scandal that rocked the basketball world back in 2014.
Spoiler Alert
Why are the LA Clippers considered a cursed team?
Clipped opens at the beginning of the 2013–14 NBA season with the arrival of a new head coach for the Los Angeles Clippers team—the incredibly popular Doc Rivers.

‘Clipped’ Review: FX’s American Basketball Story Is a Salacious, Shrewd Account of NBA Racial Strife
Initially, “Clipped” seems content to recap the embarrassing and abhorrent factoids that make up Donald Sterling’s tenure as the owner of the L.A. Clippers. When legendary coach Doc Rivers (played by Laurence Fishburne) initially arrives in Los Angeles — eager to start laying the foundation for the organization’s first NBA title — the team forgets to pick him up from Lax. Ok, no problem, he’s happy to order his own Uber. But then Sterling tries to block Doc’s big free agent acquisition because J.J. Reddick, it turns out, is white. Similarly troubling and peculiar events pile up as the story bounces from the shrewd coach to Donald’s wife and co-owner of the Clippers, Shelly Sterling (Jacki Weaver), to a perplexing female employee who goes simply by V. (Cleopatra Coleman).
But like V. herself — and, really, like each of “Clipped’s” main characters outside of the purposefully oafish,...

While many might still say HBO is the best American network for prestige television, FX has forcefully inserted itself into the conversation in the last few years. From the rabid animal that is The Bear to the densely historical Shōgun, the channel commands respect just by placing its name in front of a series. Knowing how incredible FX’s track record in the 2020s is, it came as a pleasant surprise when it was announced the network would be adapting a recollection of Los Angeles Clippers basketball owner Donald Sterling’s racist downfall at the end of the 2014 NBA season.
Using extensive research and journalistic fortitude from ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne, Clipped takes the already wild story of Sterling’s banishment from professional basketball and sensationalizes certain aspects of the saga for a wider audience.

The six-part limited series sets out to retell—and slightly fictionalize—the real-life scandal surrounding former owner of the L.A. Clippers, Donald Sterling.

Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) about her association with Black people after she posted a photo with Magic Johnson on social media. Kelsey McNeal / FX The scandal led to the NBA’s lifetime ban against Sterling and the events leading up to that tape being made public, the deterioration of Sterling’s marriage to wife Shelly (Jacki Weaver) and his off-court clashes ...

Equal time rules do not, in fact, apply to slightly fictionalized treatments of the real-life trials and tribulations of professional basketball teams, but for at least an hour it’s hard to shake the feeling that FX/Hulu’s six-parter Clipped exists as a make-good for the surplus of programming dedicated to the Lakers.
In terms of tone and style, that first episode of Clipped plays like the scrappy and far less enjoyable and successful younger brother to HBO’s Winning Time, an apt parallel for the relationship between the Clippers and the Lakers.
This sells Clipped a bit short. I watched the pilot twice, separated by several months. The first time, I thought it was a mess, more cartoonish and broad than it had any reason to be. The second time, once I’d gotten all the comparisons to other shows out of my system — once I’d stopped...

In FX’s Clipped, we first meet Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne), the real-life basketball coach of the L.A. Clippers, in 2013 just as he’s taking over the so-called “worst franchise in NBA history.” He has his doubts about the team, especially the presence of their volatile, self-important owner, Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill), but he knows that his legacy will be sealed forever if he can put a ring on the finger of L.A. basketball’s ugly sister.
The scenes of Rivers whipping these perennial losers into shape are pure shots of sports-drama pathos. After a bracing defeat to a hardier team, the players begin the next training session with Rivers viciously trash-talking each of them. He goes after their personal lives and their partners, hitting them all in their most vulnerable spots. They start barking insults back at him, and then at each other, and he smiles. From that point on,...

Clipped, the dramatization of the real-life 2013 racism scandal of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling adapted from both the real-world events and the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast covering them entitled The Sterling Affairs, presented a unique challenge for me as a critic because I don’t follow sports. I never have and what familiarity I do have is mostly related to Philadelphia teams, not Los Angeles.
So, having no prior knowledge or investment in the real-world story, though as far as I can tell it is largely accurate, the LA Clippers, or even professional basketball, would I be able to even follow the narrative, let alone get invested in it? The answer, shockingly enough, is yes. Clipped is a remarkably strong drama with some brilliant performances and a surprising amount of biting political commentary. How did they pull it off? Let’s discuss.

Of L.A.’s two NBA teams, the Clippers have always been like the neglected little brother next to the more glamorous and celebrated Lakers. So it’s fitting, then, that FX’s new Clippers chronicle Clipped — premiering Tuesday, June 4 exclusively on Hulu; I’ve seen all six episodes — pales in comparison to HBO’s superior Lakers saga Winning Time. A gaudy and campy basketball docudrama sung in the key of Ryan Murphy (though Murphy isn’t involved in this production), Clipped bites off far more than it can chew. It’s part underdog sports drama, part overheated soap opera...

"I need to show them that I have the power." FX on Hulu has revealed an official trailer for a series called Clipped, about the other Los Angeles basketball team known as the Clippers.

Ten years ago today, TMZ published an audio recording of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling saying racist things surreptitiously captured by his mistress, V. Stiviano. The recording led to his downfall, and changed the NBA forever.
If you’re not a basketball fan, you might not remember the story. But FX’s limited series “Clipped,” which just got its first trailer today, makes a case for the Donald Sterling saga as a “People v. O.J. Simpson”-style story about race, class, power, and that unique corner of America known as Los Angeles.
Per FX, “Clipped” “charts the collision between a dysfunctional basketball organization and even less functional marriage, and the precipitating tape’s impact on an ensemble of characters striving to win against the backdrop of the most cursed team in the league.”
“Clipped” stars Ed O’Neill as Sterling, a man who made his fortune building an L.

HBO had the Lakers, now FX has the Clippers. Will the series’ fates differ (as the real-life teams’ have), or will “Clipped” face the same quick, quiet end as “Winning Time”? We’ll find out this June, when FX’s latest ripped-from-the-headlines adaptation premieres exclusively on Hulu. The trailer was released Thursday, April 25 — just under six weeks prior to the premiere — and now you can watch the first footage below.
Set in 2013, the six-episode limited series stars Ed O’Neill as L.A. Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling and Laurence Fishburne as the team’s head coach, Doc Rivers. Formerly with the Boston Celtics (who won an NBA title in 2008), Rivers had just joined the Clippers when the owner’s racist comments went public, sending the organization into a tailspin and Sterling into a power struggle with Rivers, players, and the NBA at large. Key players in the tumultuous saga include Shelly Sterling...

On Friday, Lakers forward LeBron James finally addressed the Kyrie Irving situation, a day after the Brooklyn Nets guard and former teammate on the Cleveland Cavaliers was suspended for anti-semitic comments.
James, who has quickly spoken out many times on various race-related controversies, finally got around to addressing the Irving situation after days of silence.
“He caused some harm, and I think it’s unfortunate,” James said to reporters. “But I don’t stand on the position to harm people when it comes to your voice or your platform or anything. So it doesn’t matter what color your skin is, how tall you are, what position you’re in. If you are promoting or soliciting or saying harmful things to any community that harms people, then I don’t respect it. I don’t condone it.”
James also referenced his media company Uninterrupted’s decision to spike an episode of his YouTube show,...

A week after the Phoenix Suns’ primary owner was suspended by the NBA for “clearly” violating its workplace standards, Robert Sarver said today that he is “beginning the process of seeking buyers” for that team and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
Sarver’s yearlong suspension and 10 million fine came after an independent NBA probe into allegations, fueled by an ESPN exposé, that he used racist language and mistreated employees. The investigation also found that he was involved in “instances of inequitable conduct toward female employees,” including “sex-related comments” and inappropriate comments on employees’ appearances.
But the league and Commissioner Adam Silver immediately took flak for what many considered a too-lenient penalty.

“Our league definitely got this wrong,” wrote LeBron James today just hours after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver went before the media to try and contain the fallout over what many consider too-mild sanctions on Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for his reported sexist, racist and abusive behavior toward subordinates.
James, like many former players and pundits, feels that “there is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team.”
Possibly even more crucial, Suns all-star point guard, locker room leader and former president of the NBA Players’ Association Chris Paul just posted a statement on Twitter that reads in part, “I was and am horrified and disappointed by what I read…I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addressing what we can all agree was atrocious behavior.”
