LOS ANGELES --
Donald Sterling filed a suit in Superior Court on Tuesday afternoon seeking damages from the NBA, commissioner Adam Silver, his wife Shelly Sterling, and the LA Clippers Basketball Club alleging they violated corporate law in attempting to sell the franchise to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
Sterling argues that he is the sole owner and shareholder of LAC Basketball Club, a franchise and private corporation that manages and runs the
Clippers.
He transferred those shares into the Sterling Family Trust in 1998, but when Sterling revoked that trust on June 9, the shares of the corporation reverted back to his name and his wife had no authority to sell them.
The lawsuit comes as testimony in a trial in California probate court continued Tuesday to determine whether Shelly Sterling acted properly in selling the team to Ballmer.
It is not known whether the probate-court judge will seek to consolidate Tuesday's lawsuit with the current trial.
Donald Sterling was removed as a trustee from the trust when two neurologists examined him and determined he was mentally incapacitated and unfit to conduct his legal and business affairs. He has since objected to the sale.
Donald Sterling has also filed a federal lawsuit against the NBA seeking $1 billion in damages.
But, but, but...
AK said Sterling had no legal recourse.
AK said Sterling's attorneys would advise him not to sue.
AK said his "real world knowledge" stated this would be simple and there was only one possible resolution.
Absolute clown.
