The biggest story in the NBA isn’t that LeBron James and the Heat are fighting for a third title in as many years, rather it’s out West with the racist comments allegedly made by Donald Sterling of the Los Angeles Clippers. Everyone in the NBA is weighing in on the matter and that includes LeBron James of the Miami Heat.

LeBron didn’t spend too much time saying anything about Sterling that we haven’t already heard, rather he directed his words at Adam Silver and how the new commissioner needs to act fast on the first major matter he’s had to deal with in his tenure.

LeBron essentially asking Adam Silver for Sterling's expulsion, that he "must do something fast before this gets out of hand.”

LeBron did also mention that he thinks there is no room in the league for Donald Sterling, which echoed the words of Ernie Johnson and so many others around basketball in wake of Sterling’s racist remarks.
