He’s been controversial for decades. Clippers owner Donald Sterling now faces more trouble — a nationwide firestorm over racist comments he allegedly made in a recorded conversation with his girlfriend.
Those alleged remarks by Sterling have caused uproar across the sports world. And perhaps the person most upset about the situation is Dodgers part owner and former Laker super star Magic Johnson himself who was mentioned, specifically, in the comments.
KCAL/CBS2 sports director Jim Hill sat down exclusively with Magic to discuss the remarks the Clippers owner allegedly made.
“I’m very disappointed, angry and upset,” said Johnson. “Let’s go back when I first got here in 1979. Dr. Buss took me to my first real party at Donald Sterling’s house in Malibu for his annual BBQ. Ever since then, since Dr. Buss introduced me to him at the time he bought the Clippers, we’ve been out, we’ve had lunch and even shared meals to talk about his team, so I thought we had a sort of a friendship, even though it may be a distant one.”(continued)

Dittos to that ‘cav. I have payed very little attention to the NBA since the GREAT Jerry West hung ‘em up in late, (iirc), 1974.
If you want blame on this blame on TMZ this turn into Radar online version of Mel Gibson rant
There is more to come
Sterling is an idiot to talk so much on tape, he should have known better..trashes Jews, trashes Israel, why talk so much, and to who, this woman who has multiple aliases, that alone shows what a dummy Sterling is
maybe she would to have magic share his HIV virus
Is this the first time Magic Johnson has met a white liberal elite?
Controversial for what? Giving to democrats? Buttering up the NAACP?
The guy looks down on blacks. Probably conservatives, Christians, Jews and 'clingers' too. Liberal elites are NOT nice people.
Ah...I think you got the wrong guy.
hehe
Donald Tokowitz, a divorce and medical malpractice lawyer and slumlord, was born Jewish.
Buying an NBA team means that the prospective owner agrees with the NBA's rules. It is doubtful that he can be removed as owner for his foul mouth, but Sterling could probably be suspended indefinitely and be removed from day-to-day contact with the team. Even if they can't make him sell, they can make things uncomfortable for him.
It is impossible for me to have any sympathy for Sterling because he agreed in writing to whatever the NBA rules are when he bought the team. He didn't have to buy the team, but he did, and now he has to play by NBA rules, whatever they happen to be.
Don't like the NBA's rules? Don't buy an NBA team. It is that simple. All franchisees in every sort of business agree to follow franchise rules. McDonald's franchisees can't sell pizza. Chick-fil-A franchisees can't open on Sundays.
What's next for NBA in Donald Sterling case from a legal standpoint? Read More: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nba/news/20140426/donald-sterling-la-clippers-adam-silver-nba/#ixzz308z4y7cg
apparently he got involved (due to his demanding male anatomy) with someone who is trying to destroy him
So says his wife. He was carrying on in public with this woman and his wife started the lawsuit against the mistress as I understand it after he'd given her cars and real estate,
Again, impossible to feel sorry for him.
He's now complaining that the woman he was cheating with wasn't a paragon of moral virtue? Captain Obvious to the white courtesy phone. :)
Sterling is an Jew...
An idiotic liberal Jew...
If his players think he is a racist bastard then let them walk.
