Who is Terdema Ussery? Former Mavs President Under Fire for Misconduct Allegations

On Tuesday night, Sports Illustrated published the findings of a months-long investigation into a pattern of misogyny and predatory sexual misconduct within the Dallas Mavericks organization. Included in the expose are multiple details about allegations aimed at Terdema Ussery, who was president of the Mavericks for 18 years.

During his time with the Mavericks, Ussery allegedly told a woman that she would be "gang-banged," put his hands on a woman's thigh without her consent and suggestively said to a woman, "seriously...just one time." One former Mavericks employee says that when she told her friends she'd taken a job with the team, she was told to watch out for the president.
