Just waiting for Donald Sterling to say, "I'm not a racist. Why, some of my best friends are not allowed to come to Clippers games!"

Complete transcript of LeBron's response on Donald Sterling. So powerful. So raw. (Read to very last sentence)
What are your thoughts on Donald Sterlings comments?
If the reports are true, its unacceptable.
Its unacceptable in our league. It doesnt matter if youre white, black, Hispanic, whatever, all across the races. Its unacceptable and as a commissioner in our league, they have to make a stand, and they have to be very aggressive with it. I dont know what its going to be, but you just cant have that in our league. Were the model citizens of all sports around the world and because were the most recognizable, I mean, it figures. You see us all the time, you see our logos, you see our players, and for an owner to come out and say the things that he said, its very disrespectful, its very appalling and one of my best friends and dear friends plays on his team in Chris Paul and I havent had an opportunity to talk to him but I can only imagine whats going through his head.

His son died of a drug overdose last year. You'd think he'd be more sympathetic to the homeless.
