LOS ANGELES (AP) -Phil Jackson thinks karma might be behind the Clippers Curse.
The Lakers coach took a playful jab at Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling before their teams met at Staples Center on Friday night. When asked if he believes in curses during his pregame media session, Jackson said he doesn’t – but he is a believer in karma.
When told Sterling has been active in humanitarian and charity efforts in Los Angeles, Jackson replied: “Yeah, but how about all those other incidents we have on file?”
Sterling, a real estate mogul, agreed in November to pay $2.73 million to settle allegations by the government that he refused to rent apartments to Hispanics and blacks and to families with children. The Justice Department sued Sterling in August 2006 for allegations of housing discrimination in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles.
