    I didnt see this posted anywhere but here is the essay Griffin did on Derek Jetter's 'the players' tribune. Pretty entertaining and Ballmer seems like a cool dude.

    Oh and it was cold that sterling had all his employees on temp contracts.

    I dont know if Blake meant that Sterling was literally holding his hand in his white party or it was figurative

    Read again breh, he clearly said Sterling held his hand throughout the night and Blake tried to shake out of it, etc.

    Really great article and props to Blake, especially the part about media making a fuzz/trying to ridicule about a positive guy like Ballmer, but always turning a blind eye on Sterling and never reporting about his racist actions.

    Great article! I went back and read some of the others' (Danica Patrick and Russell Wilson), which were not as high quality as Blake's. I know most athlete's books are ghost-written (like Keshawn Johnson's book was Keshawn Johnson with ____ ____ ), and I wonder if Jeter's content is really straight from the athlete. I'd be impressed if that was Blake's writing, really thoughtful and fun.

    Blake Griffin needs to shut up, I feel absolutely no pity for him or CP3. If Donald Sterling was so bad to him and made him so uncomfortable, why did he sign a 5 year contract extension after being there for years. He would have gotten the max anywhere, so lets drop the victim card in this situation.

    I feel bad for rookies that got drafted by Sterling initially but after a while, be a man and live with the consequences of your decisions.

    I don't think you grasped his perspective of the situation.
