EXCLUSIVE: Donald Sterling vows to take his fight for the LA Clippers to the Supreme Court and calls Obama 'flippant' for attacking his racist views
Disgraced LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling insists that the NBA has no legal right to force him to sell his beloved basketball team and fine him $2.5m – and he’s willing to take the fight to the Supreme Court.
Sterling’s resolute stance is revealed for the first time in recordings obtained by MailOnline in which he lays bare his true feelings towards basketball’s governing body.
What’s more, the 81-year-old says he won't pay a $2.5million fine imposed upon him by the NBA. The game's governing body also placed a life ban on Sterling from ever attending an NBA basketball game.

I think this guy is nuts.
Go For It, Donald!
See? If he were racist, he’d’ve said uppity.
He can afford to buy an awful lot of lawsuit. This could get interesting.
This is all over an eaves-dropped private phone call?
Sterling’s version of Molon Labe.
Agreed.
the lawyers are sure gonna make a mint.
“I think this guy is nuts.”

He is nuts,but he’s also right to fight this. This is a HUGE mountain made out of a tiny molehill.
He’s a racist——so is Al Sharpton.
.
Looks like he isn’t taking the apology tour. Boycott every team except the Clippers.
Pray America wakes up
Let’s see if Lebron walks the walk..................
Yes, but he’s a wealthy nut. We call those people “eccentrics”. :)
I’m no fan of this disgusting pig.
However I am a BIG FAN of PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Who has the right to take away his property?
Bet those depositions with Magic are going to be real interesting.
Dude has a right to think whatever the Hell he wants to think and say whatever Hell wants to say.
We all do.
I, for one, am tired of people trying to make me and everyone else walk around with a mind prison on.
Damn tired.
I hope he sues the Hell out of everyone involved and wins.
“Sterling’s version of Molon Labe.”
The guy has ballzzzzz. I like him. I hope he puts the NBA in its place. He and his family will be taxed much higher if he has to sell now.....If his family inherit the team the taxes are lower
Sterling has a few hundred million ($$$$)reasons to be telling the NBA admin to go to hell
I haven’t heard anything that convinces me he’s actually a racist.
I’ve heard plenty that tells me he dislikes Magic Johnson.
Magic wanted the Clippers and he knew it. He didn’t like Magic, but didn’t want to admit it directly, so he directed his remarks at a more general group of people Magic belongs to, even though his own associations with black people (including the young woman) are well established.
And I’m convinced he is scatterbrained. He also wanted to bed the young woman, who was manipulating him into making racial statements while he was being recorded.
He’s getting railroaded.
I agree.
But that doesn’t make it all right.
Sterling may wind up owning the league.
