J.A. Adande of ESPN
reported on Thursday that in a lawsuit filed in November against Los
Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, former Clippers general manager
Elgin Baylor made shocking claims against his old boss.



According to the lawsuit, Baylor claims that late in his tenure as general manager, Sterling brought women into the locker room to look at the players while they showered:

"While
ignoring my suggestions and isolating me from decisions customarily
reserved for general managers, the Clippers attempted to place the
blame for the team's failures on me," Baylor said in the declaration. "During
this same period, players Sam Cassell, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette
complained to me that DONALD STERLING would bring women into the locker
room after games, while the players were showering, and make comments
such as, 'Look at those beautiful black bodies.' I brought this to
Sterling's attention, but he continued to bring women into the locker
room."

He also accused Sterling of firing him "on the basis of age and race."
Baylor, who was a Clippers executive from 1986 to 2008, alleges that Sterling was unwilling to "fairly compensate African-American players" and as a result, the team "lost a lot of good talent."


The Hall of Famer also claimed that "Sterling and Clippers
president Andy Roeser made references to his age for the last 10 years
of his employment and questioned his ability to still do his job."
