Donald Sterling comments continued, especially about Magic Johnson with CNN's Anderson Cooper debuted Monday. The LA Clippers owners' CNN interview was spoofed by Conan O'Brien, the video can be seen below!

Sterling made comments about Johnson, saying he is to blame for delaying his apology and questioned the former NBA star's contributions to African-Americans.

"Here is a man who - I don't know if I should say this - he acts so holy," Sterling said. "I mean, he made love to every girl in every city and he has AIDS. And when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him, I hoped he would be well."

Sterling added, "What has he done, can you tell me? Big Magic Johnson, what has he done? He's got AIDS. Did he do any business? Did he help anybody in South L.A.?"

Cooper interrupted Sterling, saying: "Well, I think he has HIV. He doesn't actually have full-blown AIDS, but..."

"Well, what kind of a guy goes to every city, he has sex with every girl, then he catches HIV and - is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should go into the background," Sterling continued. "But what does he do for the black people? Doesn't do anything."

Sterling continued to reject accusations that he harbored racist views. "I'm not a racist," Sterling said. "I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I have hurt. And I have hurt so many people, so many innocent people."

Conan O'Brien presented a spoof of Donald Sterling's CNN interview with Anderson Cooper on Monday's "Conan." O'Brient said that he felt like Sterling might have been trying too hard to convince people that he isn't racist. On April 29, Sterling was banned by the NBA for life and fined $2.5 million after audio recordings were made public of him making racist comments.
