Blake Griffin shares bizarre Donald Sterling locker room encounter
More than a decade after he was banned from the NBA, the bizarre Donald Sterling stories are still flowing. Former Clippers star Blake Griffin detailed an awkward locker room interaction he had with the franchise's former owner during an appearance on 'The Adam Friedland Show' this week. 'He would come in with his crew, it'd be like 10-12 people with him in the locker room. And we'd all have towels on,' Griffin recalled. 'One time, I'm in a towel, [Sterling] comes over, grabs my arm, and he's got all his people in there and he goes, 'Let's hear it for our number one star, hip hip!' And he raised my arm, and all these people go 'hooray!' Advertisement 3 Blake Griffin apparently had some weird interactions with former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Adam Friedland Show/YouTube 'And I'm sitting there holding the towel going 'hip hip, hooray!' He did it three times.' The No. 1 overall pick in 2009 also told the story of a time Sterling told some in attendance at one of his white parties to touch Griffin's ab and arm muscles.

AP 'I was like 19 years old,' Griffin said. It's far from the first time Griffin, who spent eight-plus seasons with the Clippers, has ripped the disgraced Sterling. In a 2014 piece for The Players' Tribune, Griffin described Sterling as his 'weird uncle,' and stated that he had long known he was 'really, really a racist' and 'off his rocker.'

Stiviano of a racist rant by Sterling — where he told Stiviano not to bring 'black people' to his games — emerged. Sterling also told Stiviano, 'You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that [Instagram] and not to bring them to my games.'

Christopher Reeve's Son Will Explains How His 'Superman' Cameo Came to Be, and How It Mirrors His Own Life
The son of Christopher Reeve shared his experience filming a cameo in honor of his late father for the new Superman film 'And it was a nice homage, I think, to my dad, who for millions of people has been Superman for generations," Will Reeve told the New York Post Reeve recalled his cameo being leaked on the internet before leaving Cleveland, where he filmed his sceneWill Reeve is carrying on his father Christopher Reeve's legacy in the new Superman movie. The ABC News correspondent, 33, has a cameo in the DC Studios movie and recently explained how it came to be — and how quickly the news of it leaked. Will told the New York Post that he had not yet returned to New York from filming his cameo in Cleveland in July 2024 when he learned it had already leaked online. 'I went on set, I did my thing for a few minutes, and then got in the car to head back to the airport to go home,' Will said, laughing. 'And by the time I had gotten to the gate, it had leaked online that I had a cameo.' The opportunity to appear in even a small portion of the film isn't something Will takes lightly, calling it 'such a treat.' Especially since it is a way to honor the legacy of his late father, who played Superman in the 1978 film and its three sequels. 'I was honored to get the call from the wonderful filmmakers, and I jumped at the opportunity,' Will told the New York Post. 'And it was a nice homage, I think, to my dad, who for millions of people has been Superman for generations, and for the filmmakers of this new version of Superman,' he continued. 'To include me as a way to include him meant a lot.' As for the correspondent's character, it isn't too far off from Will's everyday life as a journalist, who makes regular appearances on Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight. 'I will not tell you what my line was,' he said. 'But I can tell you that I was playing a close approximation of myself.' Will confirmed in a street interview with TMZ in July 2024, that he would be part of the 2025 Superman film directed by James Gunn. "I know the folks making the film, and they've been so kind to me and my family, and I had a free day so we made it [happen]," Will said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Although Will makes regular live TV appearances, he said being on the set of Superman was still a nerve-wracking experience. "It was a really great experience; they were super friendly; it was quick, easy," he told TMZ last year. "I was actually more nervous doing that than I am whenever I'm on TV for my normal job cuz there was so many people around and I had to memorize one line, but still!" Will was involved in the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, which focused on Christopher's Hollywood success and the 1995 horseback riding accident that left him paralyzed. Christopher died in 2004 from cardiac arrest at 52. In 2023, Will spoke with PEOPLE about the close resemblance between him and his father, saying that he "always takes that as a compliment." "I think that I had two beautiful parents, inside and out, and if I bear any resemblance to them physically, or temperamentally, or in my values, then I take that as a compliment every day," Will continued.

Steph Curry's secret weapons in golf? A YouTuber and his college hoops teammate
STATELINE, Nev. — Stephen Curry and Jason Richards share deep personal history. They formed the starting backcourt at Davidson for two seasons, with Richards playing point guard and baby-faced Curry scurrying around off the ball. Curry and Alex Riggs share a different kind of history. Curry watched some of Riggs' golf instructional videos on YouTube four or five years ago, liked the way he explained the swing and reached out on Instagram, a digital cold call. And now Richards and Riggs both are instrumental members of the Curry golf team. Their presence was unmistakable Friday at Edgewood Tahoe in the opening round of the American Century Championship. Curry started slowly, posted three birdies on the back nine and finished with 21 points in the modified Stableford scoring system, two behind former San Jose Sharks standout Joe Pavelski. Curry will begin play Saturday tied for third in the celebrity tournament alongside Lake Tahoe, well positioned to chase the title he memorably won two years ago. 49ers' George Kittle catches passes, smacks shots, muses on season ahead Warriors' Steph Curry talks hoops ahead of his return to Tahoe celebrity golf tourney His connection to Richards traces to the 2006-07 college basketball season, when Curry arrived at Davidson amid little fanfare — long before he was world-famous Steph Curry. Richardson, two years older, was entrenched at point guard. Curry slid into the lineup alongside him. He promptly committed 13 turnovers in his debut, against Eastern Michigan, before bouncing back the next night to score 32 points against Michigan. Their bond grew over the years and ultimately stretched onto the golf course, where Richards started serving as Curry's caddie at Edgewood about five years ago. 'We know each other so well, we call ourselves 'hand and glove' from Davidson,' Curry told the Chronicle after Friday's round. 'He knows how to kind of challenge me if I'm thinking ridiculous on the course, or keep me having confidence. It's just fun.' Or, as Richards said, 'When you're college teammates, there's a special bonding experience. That carries over. You go through a lot of ups and downs on a basketball team, and we sure did in those two years.' Friday offered one example of Curry momentarily 'thinking ridiculous,' and Richards bringing him back. Curry had resurrected his round with consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15, before momentum-halting bogeys on the next two holes. Then his drive on No. 18 drifted into the gallery on the right, his path to the green blocked by trees. At first Curry planned to punch the ball back onto the fairway. Then he contemplated boldly threading a shot over the tree branches in front of him. Richards suggested hitting a low shot toward the green, aggressive but safely underneath the branches. Curry listened. He followed with a spectacular third shot, a soft pitch onto the green, to set up his final birdie of the day. Curry acknowledged Richards' help in making the decision, and also the value of his own self-awareness. 'That was knowing I'm not a professional golfer, and I want to win this tournament,' he said. 'This is kind of a cool shot, let's go for it. That's kind of what happened, and it worked out.' All the while, Riggs watched closely as he walked inside the ropes. His back story is interesting: He grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, moved to Florida to teach golf and has been based in Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) the past 14 years, working at a club there. He's posted 129 instructional videos on YouTube, some of which caught the attention of Curry, a self-acknowledged golf geek. He sent Riggs an unsolicited direct message, which Riggs initially thought was a bot until he saw the check mark verifying the sender really was Stephen Curry. They went back and forth a few times, leading to Curry sending Riggs an eight-minute video of his swing to break down. Then they connected in person in the summer of 2022, when Riggs came to the U.S. to visit tour players, celebrities and amateurs he tutors. Curry thought Riggs explained the golf swing in a sensible, easy-to-understand way, so they started working together each summer. Not coincidentally, in Curry's mind, his golf game soon improved. 'I didn't have much time in '22, after the Finals, but I kind of grinded and the foundation from that led to the summer of '23. And then we won,' Curry said, referring to his victory at Edgewood. 'So now he's kind of part of the crew, not just because of golf but he's also just a great dude. He has a great presence about him.' Curry's crew in Tahoe flows with family and friends, most notably Friday's playing partners — his dad, Dell, and brother Seth. Some lesser-known people also make the annual trip, filling notable roles in Curry's quest to excel as a golfer.
