Stan Van Gundy wouldn’t work for Los Angeles Clippers

Former Miami Heat and Orlando Magic Stan Van Gundy has never been one to hold his tongue and he shared his thoughts on the situation involving Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling in an appearance on AM 740’s Open Mike in Orlando, Florida.

“I certainly wouldn’t take a job there now,” Van Gundy told Mike Bianchi of The Orlando Sentinel, “and I think a lot of people would say the same thing.”

Van Gundy feels for the players most of all.

“If any industry or any league should be at the forefront of equality and tolerance, it should be the NBA,” Van Gundy said. “Donald Sterling is making a lot of money based on the performance and intelligence of black men and yet — if these comments are authentic — he still holds these views and clearly doesn’t respect them as people because of the color of their skin.

“Imagine playing for that organization and your owner is making those comments,” Van Gundy added. “It’s almost reprehensible going into Game 5 Tuesday night in L.A. that when they have a sellout crowd, the guy who will benefit the most is Donald Sterling. That’s a thought that’s making everybody a little sick to their stomach.”

Van Gundy simply shared what most people seem to believe.
