And Anthony calls Sterling “dad” and thinks of him as a father. In fact during an interview with People Magazine Anthony said,

“He was the only father I knew or cared about…e raised me as any father would, with love, patience, understanding and discipline. I’m grateful because he taught me what it took to be a man. He wasn’t perfect, which made him even more of my hero.”

And Sterling taught Anthony “to be a man” in a very interesting way. After Anthony started to go to college and came home during breaks, Sterling wanted him to pay rent. He also pulled out phone jacks and locked the entertainment system. The only thing Anthony access for free in the house was the refrigerator. One might say those were little harsh measures but they effectively taught Anthony responsibility.
