Reaction Saturday on the audio recording of a man identified as Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling telling his girlfriend not to bring black people to games:

Rev Al Sharpton - "The NBA must investigate L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling's recent racial comments that were caught on tape and discipline him. No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language. We are prepared at National Action Network to rally in front of the NBA headquarters if this matter is not immediately dealt with."

NBA Hall of Famer and Businessman Magic Johnson - "(Wife Cookie) and I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling is the owner."

NBA Player LeBron James - "There is no room for Donald Sterling in our league. There is no room for him."

NBA Hall of Famer / NBA Broadcast Analyst Charles Barkley - "This is the first test for Adam Silver (new NBA Commissioner), because you can't have this guy making statements like that ... (if it's Sterling on the recording), he has to suspend and fine him immediately."

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcette - "These statements are offensive and despicable and have no place in Los Angeles. I urge the NBA to act swiftly. L.A. fans deserve and demand better."

Former Los Angeles Clipper Shaun Livingston - "I would say it's probably disappointing to a lot of people, you know what I mean? But you look at what's kind of gone on in the past, it's very unfortunate, but I think it kind of tells the same story as what's been told if you pull up the record."
