Baylor was the longest serving NBA GM at 22 years when he resigned. In those 22 years the Clippers made the playoffs just 3 times, yet Baylor is claiming "racism" and "ageism." Sounds more like the Clippers' owner was his usual idiot self for keeping Baylor on so long.
Baylor: Clippers didn't reward success
Elgin Baylor is taking his game to a different court.
One day after filing a discrimination suit against the Los Angeles Clippers and the NBA, Baylor provided insight into his action against the team for whom he served as general manager for 22 years and the league in which he excelled as a player for 14 seasons.
"The way I was treated by the NBA and the Clippers was unfair and in many ways discriminatory. It was wrong," said Baylor, reading from a prepared statement at a news conference at the office of his lawyer Carl Douglas.
"We are forced to take this action because our effort to resolve this dispute quietly were ignored. So I look forward to having my day in court."
Clippers attorney Robert H. Platt said Baylor's claims "carry no weight and have no credibility."
