Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling sat down with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday night to talk about the inflammatory comments he made that got him suspended for life and fined $2.5 million by the NBA.

But it's his remarks about Los Angeles Lakers great Earvin "Magic" Johnson that stole the show.

Sterling denied that he's a racist and apologized for his words, but he didn't hold back in his contempt for Johnson:

In the recorded comments that Sterling made to V. Stiviano that sparked the controversy, he blasted her for taking photos with African-Americans, including Johnson, and putting them online.

Johnson, who Sterling also described as having "those AIDS" (he's actually HIV-positive) is moving on from the remarks, having tweeted:
