Kobe probably reserving judgment until all the facts come out.
Fukked up but probably true.
or how about him saying he can't believe he's paying a poor black danny manny to play for the clippers.
it takes over 20 years for this dude to get investigated???
Come to find out in another 20 years he has some blacks and latinos buried in his back yard.
dude should be required within 6 months to sell the team no exceptions

This O'neal was much better than the other lame. But I wish he would'nt have involved Latinos in his views. That racist POS had no problems with Latinos for a reason. So always trying to group AA and Latino struggle is incorrect and is not the most effective means of getting your message accrossOAKLAND–Because Jermaine O’Neal is the Warriors’ most experienced and thoughtful veteran, I wanted to hear what he had to say about the TMZ recording of Clipper owner Donald Sterling making many repulsive racial comments.
He had a lot to say, all of it reasoned, passionate and right to the point. In the middle of this emotional Warriors-Clippers playoff series, this is one helluva thing for the Clippers players to deal with, and O’Neal spoke to that, too.
—JERMAINE O’NEAL interview transcript/
-Q: Did you hear or read the recording of Donald Sterling?
-O’NEAL: Yes.
-Q: What were your feelings when you heard it?
-O’NEAL: As an African-American athlete, you get discouraged that this type of thing is still condoned in people’s lives.
You look at a situation where we’re good enough to work for you, but not good enough to be around you. To build a franchise, good enough to build business for you, but not good enough to mingle amongst your circles.
Very difficult thing to digest.
You know, if I’m a player who plays for him or coaches for him, and they have a predominantly African-American team, how do you feel about that? That you’re only good enough to do his work for him.
-Q: Could you play for that guy?
-O’NEAL: It’s difficult. It’s very difficult for I think any player in any sport to want to play for a guy that doesn’t believe in their race or looks down upon their race, for whatever reason.
I don’t know who would want to do that. I don’t know who would want to openly go and play for a person like that. It’s just strange that he would say those things and feel that way when you have a team that is predominantly African-American, a coach who’s African-American, a staff that’s African-American, basically.
It’s just strange.
-Q: You’re not on the Clippers, but in the middle of a playoff series, what happens now? What can a player do?
-O’NEAL: I don’t know what a player can do at this point. I think it’s more of the NBA–the NBA has to put their stamp on this, I really do.
If you promote anything else… and say what’s right and wrong for our brand, then this has to be at the top of the list. I mean, it just has to be.
It’s Adam Silver’s first real, real task. Let’s see what his response is. I think this can really set the tone for how people view him.
-Q: Do you think Sterling has to be suspended?
-O’NEAL: I think he definitely has to be penalized for this, no question. And it has to be severe. Because you’re surprised… maybe surprise isn’t the best word considering the past.
But sometimes you see the evolution in people and people change and view things differently. You see how the Clippers have grown from a bottom of the basement team to a team that people respect now.
So you would think that the ownership would change with that.
I’m normally a guy that has many words about a lot of things, but you’re just lost… you look at his comments… why he feels the way he feels and thinks the way he thinks, with African-Americans and Latinos basically helping him build his fortune.
I don’t know… I use this word with great respect, because there’s a lot of people that have committed themselves and their lives to changing how this word is used…
But it’s almost a slave mentality. Where you can go out and do all the work–you’re good enough to do all the work, make all the money for you–but just not good enough to sit at the table that you eat at.
That’s how it’s viewed.
-Q: I don’t think that’s terribly put at all.
-O’NEAL: That’s how it’s viewed very strongly amongst myself and I’m sure any other African-American who believes in evolution, who believes in change, and who believes in equal opportunity.
I’m sure President Obama will have something even stronger to say about this. I’m interested to see what his words are.
But I think the out pouring of reactions from a lot of people so far is really coming from the heart. At the end of the day, it’s just stupid.
-Q: It’s not a basketball thing, but it’s in the middle of a series. What do you think it possibly could mean?
-O’NEAL: I don’t think it’ll mean much to the series. I don’t think their guys are going to lay down and just not play. Just because their personality…
But I believe ultimately their base is what’s going to be affected–their fan base. I’m not sure when we go back there, whether we’ll see it in the stands when we play there on Tuesday, but in the long run, people are going to evaluate where they spend their money at. These games are very expensive.
You want to feel a part of something that makes you feel a part of it. Latinos and African-Americans–which is a big part of the Los Angeles base–I think ticket sales and sponsorships will be affected.

wont happen until fans step up and say fukk this dude.
they wont. This shyt about Sterling is not new or surprising. Its been known this dude was racist, like you said, and fans of all races still come out to their games. And players of all races still play for them.

Like a C4.
NBA.com doesn't even have this as major news. It's a headline, barely, meaning underneath Pacers being down 1-2, game plans for the Bobcats-Heat game tonight, and the Mavs-Spurs game.
