Sterling testifies in Clippers trial

NBA: Donald Sterling, challenging the sale of his Los Angeles Clippers, gave testy, bombastic testimony Tuesday, contending he’s mentally sound, sparring with his wife’s lawyer and repeatedly drawing laughter from spectators.

The 80-year-old billionaire also called doctors who’ve declared he has Alzheimer’s disease “hired guns” and declared he could top the $2 billion offer for the Clippers by $10 billion by selling TV rights to Fox and winning an antitrust suit he’s filed against the NBA /B2
