    Bill Kennedy, Tony Brothers and Violet Palmer are going to ref the rest of the Clippers playoff games.

    How about Danny Crawford, Leon Wood, and Haywoode Workman in the rotation, too? :)

    Stephen A. Smith and Jason Whitlock can do the commentary for all their games. Perfect.

    Pretty sure Mandingo is Sterling's ex wife's "friend".

    My guess is Larry Ellison is the next clippers owner.

    Sterling is done. If the NBA doesn't force the sale, the market and players will

    Damian Lillard on Sterling: "If that was up to me, as far as what organization I would choose to be a part of, I wouldn’t be a part of that"

    I don't know whether you were just being sarcastic and what your true thoughts are on the matter, but I don't think hoojacks was suggesting that racial groups cannot also harbor hate toward each other. It seems to me that hoojacks was mocking the notion of America being post-racial, and that racism is still very much a major issue in society today. I apologize in advance if I'm missing out on a joke between you two.

    Donald Sterling has come out swinging, with the Clippers organization right behind him ... saying he and his team don't know if the audio TMZ Sports released is legit ... but he says it does NOT reflect his views toward African Americans.

    Sterling and the Clippers organization tell TMZ Sports, "We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered."

    The statement goes on ... We do know that the woman on the tape -- who we believe released it to TMZ -- is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family, alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.'" And the statement goes on, "Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life."

    And there's this: "He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologizes to anyone who might have been hurt by them."

    They would know if it were illegitimate, because Sterling would just deny saying it. As in, "I would never, ever say anything like those horrible comments."

    Also, the Clipper organization basically is Donald Sterling, so it's not surprising that the front office stands behind their owner.

    +1. How can you not recognize your own voice and comments? As for these words being the antithesis of who he is, Sterling was sued by a number of people including former employees and the DoJ for racial discrimination. We don't even need to go into the black history month thing.
