00:00 I was not surprised that an owner of a basketball team
00:05 like the Clippers would have some of these racist attitudes.
00:09 I wasn't surprised by that.
00:10 What I was surprised by was the fact
00:13 that he was held accountable and responsible
00:15 and then subsequently had to sell his team.
00:17 That surprised me.
00:18 And I thought, "Oh, that's interesting."
00:19 So when I read the scripts, what was great was,
00:23 as you said, there's this confluence of racism, sexism,
00:26 money, power, wealth, fame, influence, social media,
00:31 like the whole gamut.
00:34 And it's written in such a beautiful, intelligent,
00:37 and humorous way that I thought,
00:40 "Okay, these are the things that I like talking about.
00:44 These are the kind of issues that I like to deal with
00:46 in terms of the stories that I want to tell."
