NBA star Blake Griffin is speaking out about former L.A. Clippers Owner Donald Sterling. And he has a lot to say.

In an essay posted to Derek Jeter's website "The Players' Tribune," Griffin detailed his relationship with Sterling throughout his career thus far playing for the L.A. Clippers.

As the world knows, Sterling was banned from the NBA and forced to sell the team earlier this year when tapes were leaked of him ranting racist remarks. According to Griffin, Sterling was "like a weird uncle."

"If you're wondering how a known racist can own an NBA team without anyone batting an eye, first ask yourself how the owner of an NBA team can scream at his team's best player in front of thousands of people and hundreds of cameras without anyone even caring," writes Griffin, recalling a incident in which Sterling had an angry outburst during a game when Baron Davis was charged with shooting a free throw.

According to Griffin, Davis was the best free throw shooter on the floor.

Griffin addressed the controversy when Sterling's racism scandal first hit, a time when many fans believed the team members should refuse to play under Sterling's ownership.

"My feeling, right or wrong, was that we should shut it all out and go out and play for our fans, our families, and for each other," said Griffin. "For people to ever think we were playing for Donald Sterling is comical. It wasn't like before the tape came out, we were putting our hands in before every game and saying, "Okay guys, let's go out and win one for Donald!"

The 25-year-old All-Star also discusses former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer taking over as owner of the Clippers. While many have mocked Ballmer for what they deemed an excessive amount of enthusiasm on his part, Griffin feels that the he is just the man for the job. 

"Ballmer wants to win no matter the cost. Donald Sterling didn't care if we won - at least if it meant he had to spend money," wrote Griffin. "It wasn't just about spending money on players. For years, our training staff wanted to buy this sophisticated computer software that would let them scan our bodies and keep track of our progress throughout the season. Sterling wouldn't sign off on it."

"It's little bit ironic to me that the media has tried to turn Ballmer into a meme when they turned a blind eye to Sterling for years," he added. "Steve is a good dude. He's like a cool dad who gives you candy. Donald was like a weird uncle."

Griffin reveals that he is thrilled that Ballmer's leadership has given everyone associated with the L.A. Clippers a sense of security, as well as an ample amount of support.

"When I walked into the training facility for the first time this summer, the entire vibe was different. People were smiling. From the security people to the game operations staff to the office staff, everybody seemed happy to be there," he explained. "For the first time ever, they were on permanent contracts. Under Sterling, all the staff were on temporary contracts. Top to bottom, everybody just appreciates being appreciated now."
