Jackson made an unusual call and had the Warriors practice at Oracle Arena for their playoff series against the Clippers, as opposed to their standard facility. So there I was, standing at half-court of Oracle when Lindsey Hunter sauntered up, flanked by a trainer. “I wanna see you outside,” he spat. Confused, I came back with, “Uh, what?” “I wanna see you outside,” he said, before storming off.

Once notified that he’d done this in full view of other reporters, to a guy holding a hot mic, Hunter’s tack changed markedly.

A Black basketball operations staffer told ESPN he has heard Sarver say the N-word multiple times. Sarver once used the N-word when trying to explain to a staffer why he preferred hiring Lindsey Hunter over Dan Majerle as head coach in 2013, according to a high-level executive who heard the remark.

The following year, at 32, McKinney landed his first general manager job with the expansion Timberwolves, and in 1992 he accepted the unenviable task of breaking up the aging “Bad Boys” in Detroit. McKinney traded John Salley and Dennis Rodman but also drafted Lindsey Hunter and Allan Houston. He wept tears of joy when he landed future Hall of Famer Grant Hill with the third pick of the 1994 draft. When the franchise predictably struggled during its rebuild, McKinney took the hits — sometimes literally. During a practice in 1993, guard Alvin Robertson choked McKinney after being fined and suspended for skipping games, practices and rehab sessions.
