Ali da GOAT is penciled in....
Jim Brown, too.
Kareem, I believe, would've snapped on a saltine. Maybe get Magic to join him.
Jordan would've been like, "so?"
Who do you think would've spoken up if this happened while they had an active sports career?

David West had the best comment thus far about the situation.
From David West"He has a history of being a bigot and a racist," West said about Sterling.
West heard the recording after the team breakfast on Saturday morning. After listening, West said the alleged comments brought to mind an earlier lawsuit filed against Sterling for housing discrimination against African-American and Hispanic families. In 2009, Sterling settled the case for $2.725 million.
In a conversation with The Star that lasted more than six minutes before the playoff game, West expressed more of his views on today's society and why he feels America has not progressed as much as some may believe.
"You can't be naïve about the thoughts and mindsets of (some) people in this country," West said. "We live in this sort of reality anyway where we understand that people … have all types of perceptions towards us, whether good or bad. I guess being an athlete or entertainer, people can come cheer for you but as soon as the game is over, they are who they are and they think how they think, they feel how they feel.
"I'm not naïve to that. I don't think our society has all of a sudden changed and people who are in power all of a sudden think different about us, just because you dribble a basketball or catch a (? ) football, it's just not the reality of it."
In West's opinion, the NBA cannot do much to punish Sterling.
"He is who he is. They ain't going to change the man," West said. "The man's going to go to his grave being who he is. … This is not going to change him.
"Because he has black athletes or whatever. He is who he is. There have been folks before him and there have been a ton of them after him."

Were you get that from??I look at this from two perspectives – as a current owner and a former player. As an owner, I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views.
I’m confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly.
As a former player, I’m completely outraged.
There is no room in the NBA - or anywhere else - for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed.
I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport.
In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level. -
Jim Brown smiles for David West.

AI woulda dropped 40 bars pt. 2
-
Michael already said some ? going against sterling
-
So Sterling's parents were Jewish immigrants? Makes sense.
-
I almost feel like MJ's response seemed forced. It almost didnt feel genuine.

And you know that how?! people act like MJ hates black people, when I just think he is a ? talking ? , if people read the Jordan rules they would know how he felt about racists, when he went to a golf course and they discriminated against him, he said, "one day I'm going to retire and have a golf course that says no whites allowed."

MJ statement seemed pretty straightforward to me. Jordan was and is a high-functioning sociopath, but give the guy some credit, he's not THAT bad...
