Donald Sterling on Magic Johnson: I mean he made love to every girl in every city in America and he had AIDS
Donald Sterling was caught on tape telling V. Stiviano that he does not want her taking pictures with African-Americans including Magic Johnson. Speaking to Anderson, Sterling launched a string of verbal attacks against the NBA legend. Sterling questioned Johnson's actions during this scandal, his philanthropy and lifestyle. At one point, Sterling asked "what kind of a guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then he catches HIV. Is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about?"
Filmmaker Spike Lee listened to Donald Sterling's comments about Magic Johnson. He told Anderson, "he's delusional and he's not in touch with today's world. He's back there with 'Leave it to Beaver."

I know part of this discussion was about Magic Johnson's charity in particular and I didn't look in Charity Navigator at it's ratings, but as far as ball player charities in general, Mr. Sterling actually wasn't far off on the comment that they do nothing. Here is an investigation aired on ESPN: http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9109024/top-athletes-charities-often-measure-charity-experts-say-efficient-effective-use-money
I hope Anderson checked his facts on this.
Sterling is clueless about MJ's contributions to society?! Well it's obvious this rich self-centered racist has been living in his gilded cage for way too many years with his blinders on.
There's a saying ... give a guy a rope and watch him hang himself. In Sterling's case, the rope given to him was the damning CNN interview. Every time he speaks, the noose tightens LOL!
