The alleged conversation between Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his girlfriend, V. Stiviano has erupted into a media firestorm. Magic Johnson and Kevin Hart have both said they will never patronize the Clippers as long as he is the owner. Miami Heat star LeBron James said there’s not place in the NBA for Donald Sterling, and Kobe Bryant said he couldn’t play for him. Even rapper Snoop Dogg came out in a profanity laced tirade against the owner. Check out some of the other reactions.
Chris Paul’s statement as NBA Player’s Association President:
“On behalf of the National Basketball Players Association, this is a very serious issue which we will address aggressively,” Paul, the president of the NBA Players Association, said in a statement. “We have asked Mayor Kevin Johnson to expand his responsibilities with the NBPA, to determine our response and our next steps. As players, we owe it to our teams and our fans to keep our focus on our game, the playoffs, and a drive to the Finals.”

NBA’s Official statement:
“We are in the process of conducting a full investigation into the audio recording obtained by TMZ,” the league said in a statement from spokesperson Mike Bass. “The remarks heard on the recording are disturbing and offensive, but at this time we have no further information.”

Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan:
Magic spoke at length about it on ABC/ESPN’s NBA Countdown:
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers has two years left on his three year deal and has indicated that he isn’t sure what will happened next season
“Don’t know yet,” Rivers responded. “I’m just going to leave it at that.”
