Pablo Torre is being crowned this week after his year-long investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers resulted in an historic penalty for the team and its leadership, but he and his staff hit a major bump in the road last month.

Pablo Torre found out, and now the results of the NBA’s investigation are hammering the LA Clippers.

Torre confirmed that ESPN was so confident in its sources that it even asked him for a statement to include in their piece, where he was supposed to do a retraction or an apology, but he stayed true to his sources and investigation and didn't let himself be shaken, which brought him a huge victory in the eyes of the public.

Score one for Pablo Torre.
